No
The summary describes a physical fiducial marker and its delivery system, with no mention of software, algorithms, or any AI/ML related terms. The performance studies focus on physical properties and equivalence to predicate devices.

No.
The Biomac Fiducial Marker is used to mark soft tissue for future surgical procedures, it does not treat or cure any medical conditions.

No
A diagnostic device is used to identify or detect a disease or condition. This device is used to mark soft tissue for future surgical procedures, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "carbon/metallic composite discrete marker" and a "sterile, pyrogen free, single patient use" physical object, which is a hardware component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "radiographically mark soft tissue for future surgical procedures." This describes a device used in vivo (within the body) for marking purposes, not for testing samples in vitro (outside the body) to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical marker implanted in soft tissue, visible on imaging modalities. This aligns with an in vivo device.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue samples, etc.), reagents, or diagnostic assays, which are hallmarks of IVD devices.

Therefore, the Biomac Fiducial Marker is an in vivo medical device, not an IVD.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

A Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) was performed in order to assess the risks associated with the modifications introduced. A biocompatibility, visibility, MR safety / compatibility and sterilization and packaging / shelf life adoption evaluation confirmed that the modified device. BiomarC Fiducial Marker, was substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.

Dear Mr. Adams:

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,

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set

2

forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its tollfree number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 796-7100 or at its Internet address
