Intended Use
AlloX2 Tissue Expanders are intended for temporary (less than six months) subcutaneous or submuscular implantation to develop surgical flaps and additional tissue coverage required in a wide variety of applications, particularly to aid in reconstructions following mastectomy, to aid in the treatment of underdeveloped breasts and to aid in treatment of soft tissue deformities. Additionally, the AlloX2 Tissue Expanders contain a silicone drain component which allows access to and drainage of latent fluids from the periprosthetic space. This drain component does nort-term, immediate, intraoperatively placed drains.
Device Description
The AlloX2 Tissue Expanders are constructed as a unit from silicone elastomer and consist of a smooth or textured expansion envelope with an integral magnetic injection port. Specialty Surgical Products is proposing that an integral or remote (connected by tubing) drain port be integrated into the predicate device to facilitate the drainage of fluid in the periprosthetic pocket. The port design and magnetic technology/concept are the same as those of the predicate injection ports. The principles of operation of the subject device methodology are identical to that of the primary predicate Silicone Tissue Expander and the additional predicate Closed Wound Drain.
More Information

No
The document describes a mechanical tissue expander and drain system with no mention of AI or ML technology.

No
The device is a tissue expander and a drain component used in surgical reconstruction and fluid management, not directly for diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease.

No
The device, AlloX2 Tissue Expander, is intended for temporary implantation to develop surgical flaps and additional tissue coverage, and also contains a silicone drain component. Its function is to expand tissue and drain fluids, not to diagnose medical conditions or diseases.

No

The device description clearly indicates it is a physical medical device constructed from silicone elastomer with an integral magnetic injection port and a drain component. It is intended for implantation.

Based on the provided information, the AlloX2 Tissue Expander is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • AlloX2 Function: The AlloX2 Tissue Expander is an implantable device used to physically expand tissue in the body. It is a surgical device, not a device that analyzes biological samples.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes implantation for tissue expansion and drainage, not the analysis of biological specimens.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on the physical construction and components of the implantable device.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies described are bench tests evaluating the physical properties and functionality of the device, not the accuracy of diagnostic measurements.

Therefore, the AlloX2 Tissue Expander falls under the category of a surgical implant or medical device used for physical manipulation of tissue, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Additionally, the AlloX2 Tissue Expanders contain a silicone drain component which allows access to and drainage of latent fluids from the periprosthetic space. This drain component does not replace short-term, immediate, intraoperatively placed drains.

Dear Ms. Null:

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.

The collective results of the performance testing demonstrates that the AlloX2 meets all established product specification requirements and does not raise any new questions of safety or effectiveness as compared to the predicate device.

Product Description

The AlloX2 Tissue Expanders are constructed as a unit from silicone elastomer and consist of a smooth or textured expansion envelope with an integral magnetic injection port. Specialty Surgical Products is proposing that an integral or remote (connected by tubing) drain port be integrated into the predicate device to facilitate the drainage of fluid in the periprosthetic pocket. The port design and magnetic technology/concept are the same as those of the predicate injection ports. The principles of operation of the subject device methodology are identical to that of the primary predicate Silicone Tissue Expander and the additional predicate Closed Wound Drain.

The proposed AlloX2 Tissue Expanders will have the same indications for use as the primary predicate device, the Silicone Tissue Expander (K070303) and the same intended use as the additional predicate Closed Wound Drain (K801766).

Substantial Equivalence

The AlloX2 Tissue Expanders are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices with regard to function, intended use and technological characteristics. Any differences in the technological characteristics between the devices do not raise any new issues of safety or

efficacy. Thus, the proposed AlloX2 Tissue Expanders are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.

Conclusion

The proposed AlloX2 Tissue Expanders have the same technological characteristics as the predicate devices. The differences in design do not change the indications for use/intended use for the primary predicate SSP Silicone Tissue Expander #K070303 and do no change the intended use of the additional predicate Heyer Schulte (Jackson-Pratt) Closed Wound Drain (K801766) or raise any new issues of safety or effectiveness as compared to the predicates.

Summary

The AlloX2 Tissue Expanders are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
