No
The summary describes a physical patch test delivery system and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would suggest the use of AI/ML.

No
The device is described as a "patch test diagnostic device" used for "allergen patch tests" and "testing individuals suspected of having allergic or irritant contact dermatitis," indicating a diagnostic rather than therapeutic purpose.

Yes
Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states that the device is "intended for use as a patch test diagnostic device."

No

The device is described as a "patch test delivery system and holding device," which strongly implies a physical component for applying allergens to the skin. The description does not mention any software functionality.

Based on the provided information, the Finn Chambers AQUA device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is used to place allergens in contact with the surface of the skin for patch testing. This is a test performed on the body (in vivo), not in vitro (outside the body, typically on biological samples like blood or tissue).
  • Mechanism: The device is a delivery system and holding device for allergens applied to the skin. It doesn't analyze biological samples.

IVD devices are designed to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. The Finn Chambers AQUA device facilitates a diagnostic test performed directly on the patient's skin.

Dear Ms. Bankes:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
