Intended Use
The MicroAire LipoFilter System is used in the aspiration, filtering and transferring of autologous adipose tissue for aesthetic body contouring. If the harvested fat is to be re-implanted fat is only to be used without any additional manipulation.
Device Description
The MicroAire LipoFilter System consists of a single use, closed loop tissue collection system comprised of a medical grade canister, vacuum port, collection port, tissue port and lid intended to be used with a standard liposuction aspiration system pump to collect fatty tissue for aesthetic body contouring. As the tissue is harvested from the patient, it enters the canister via the collection port in the canister lid. The physician removes unwanted waste materials from the collection system via the vacuum port by closing a valve. This process leaves fatty tissue that can be transferred to syringes via the tissue port for autologous fat re-injection.

No
The description focuses on a mechanical filtering system for adipose tissue and does not mention any computational or algorithmic components indicative of AI/ML.

No.
The device is used for the aspiration, filtering, and transferring of autologous adipose tissue, which is a collection and processing function, not a therapeutic treatment.

No

The device description indicates that the system is used for the aspiration, filtering, and transferring of autologous adipose tissue, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical, single-use system comprised of a canister, ports, and lid, intended for collecting and filtering adipose tissue. There is no mention of software as a component or the primary function of the device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the "aspiration, filtering and transferring of autologous adipose tissue for aesthetic body contouring." This describes a surgical procedure involving the collection and re-implantation of tissue within the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is a "closed loop tissue collection system" used with a liposuction aspiration system. It collects and filters fatty tissue for re-injection. This is a device used during a surgical procedure, not for testing samples outside the body to diagnose or monitor a condition.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide diagnostic information about a patient's health status. It's a tool for collecting and preparing tissue for re-implantation.

IVD devices are typically used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device's function is purely related to the physical collection and preparation of tissue for a surgical procedure.

The MicroAire LipoFilter System has been tested in various ways to demonstrate equivalence to the predicate devices including Gamma Radiation validation, shelf life validation, biocompatibility, and various performance testing. Specifics include the following:

Validated for sterility using gamma radiation. Test results and analyses indicate that the MicroAire LipoFilter System sterility complies in accordance with ISO 11137-1:2006 and ISO 11137-2:2006.

Validated for a 2 year shelf life. Test results and analyses indicate that the MicroAire LipoFilter System packaging complies in accordance with ISO 11607-1: 2006 and ISO 11607-2: 2006.

The MicroAire LipoFilter System has patient contact materials and is made from medical grade biocompatible materials. Test results and analyses indicate that the MicroAire LipoFilter System materials' complies in accordance with ISO 10993-1: 2009.

The MicroAire LipoFilter System was tested for performance in accordance with its predetermined specifications on file at MicroAire which includes functionality testing, ISO 10079-1 testing, tubing connection strength testing, vacuum leak testing, adipocyte viability testing, and Aging Studies.

10) Conclusion:

The MicroAire LipoFilter System uses decantation to separate the tissue which is the same method as the two identified predicate devices. The MicroAire LipoFilter System does not have any new intended uses as compared to the two predicate devices. The MicroAire LipoFilter System has a slightly larger volume (2500 mL) whereas the predicate devices have a volume of up to 2000 mL which is insignificant given the intended use of the devices. The MicroAire LipoFilter System is provided sterile whereas the predicate devices are either provided sterile and/or sterilized by the user. The results of these activities demonstrate that the MicroAire LipoFilter System is considered substantially equivalent to the two predicate devices.

The results of the evaluation above demonstrate that the MicroAire LipoFilter System is considered substantially equivalent to the two predicate devices.
