No
The summary describes a mechanical skull clamp and does not mention any software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.

No.
The device is a surgical fixation device that holds the head and neck in a stable position during surgery, but it does not directly treat a disease or condition.

No
Explanation: The device description states it is a "cranial stabilization device, designed to provide rigid skeletal fixation." Its intended use is to "hold their head and neck securely in a particular position when rigid fixation is desired," primarily for surgical procedures. It does not perform any diagnostic functions like image analysis or disease detection.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical cranial stabilization device (skull clamp) and mentions nonclinical tests related to mechanical performance (static load, torque, shear, etc.), indicating it is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is placed on the patient's skull to hold their head and neck securely during surgical procedures (craniotomies and spinal surgery). This is a surgical device used directly on the patient's body for mechanical support and fixation.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces its function as a cranial stabilization device providing rigid skeletal fixation.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not interact with or analyze any such specimens.
  • Anatomical Site: The device is applied to the skull, head, and neck, which are external anatomical sites for the purpose of surgical support.
  • Care Setting: It is used in the operating room, which is consistent with a surgical device.

In summary, the MAYFIELD Skull Clamp is a surgical instrument used for physical stabilization during procedures, not a device used for in vitro diagnostic testing of biological samples.

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

Skull Clamp Static Load – Verifies the ability of the skull clamp to sustain an 80lb load to a 2x factor of safety. Result: Pass – The clamp supported 160 lb static load for no less than 24 hours without mechanical failure.

Skull Clamp Load Loss – Verifies the ability of the skull clamp to maintain a user defined load in use. Result: Pass - The clamp provided a static clamping force of 80 lbs for 24 hours without a loss of loading greater than 5%.

Skull Clamp Transient Torque – Verifies the ability of the skull clamp to resist transient torque while in use. Result: Pass - The swivel locking mechanism was capable of withstanding a dynamic torque of 20 lb/ft for 30 seconds without mechanical failure.

Skull Clamp Swivel Static Torque – Verifies the ability of the skull clamp to resist applied torque while in use. Result: Pass - The swivel locking mechanism was capable of withstanding a static torque of 10 lb/ft for 24 hours without slippage or mechanical failure.

Skull Clamp Vertical Shear - Verifies the ability of the skull clamp to support an applied vertical load. Result: Pass - The loading mechanism was capable of withstanding a vertical shear loading of at least 100 lbs at 80 lbs pin loading.

WHO Performance Test - Verifies the ability of the skull clamp to withstand repeated cycles of the WHO (World Health Organization) recommended guidelines for decontamination without mechanical failure. Result: Pass - The skull clamp was capable of withstanding 15 autoclave cycles of 134°C for 60 minutes in accordance with the WHO decontamination process without mechanical failure.

Reliability Test – Verification that the locking knob mechanism meets manufacturer's warranty period. Result: Pass - The Skull Clamp met a minimum MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) of 1 year, at a 95% confidence level.

Unlock torque Over Time – Verification that the index lock meets internal requirements. Result: Pass - The product met internal specification for unlocking after prescribed force was applied over time.

Biocompatibility
No component contacts the patient; therefore, no biocompatibility studies are required.

Dear Mr. Brian Hoy,

Re:

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.
