The device description and performance studies focus on the physical properties and biocompatibility of the platinum segments, which function through gravity. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance data.
Yes
The device is designed for the treatment of lagophthalmos by physically weighing down the eyelid to aid closure, which constitutes a therapeutic action.
No
The device is an eyelid implant used to physically weigh down the eyelid, which is a treatment, not a diagnostic function.
No
The device is a physical implant made of platinum and iridium, designed to be surgically placed in the eyelid. It is not software.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. They are used outside the body (in vitro) to diagnose, monitor, or screen for diseases or conditions.
- Device Description: The Malhotra Platinum Segments are physical implants designed to be surgically placed inside the body (in vivo) to treat a physical condition (lagophthalmos) by mechanically weighing down the eyelid. They do not perform any tests on bodily samples.
The description clearly indicates a surgically implanted device that functions through a physical mechanism (gravity) to treat a condition, which is not the function of an IVD.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
a) Biocompatibility Testing:
Biocompatibility evaluation conducted on the Malhotra Platinum Segments shows the suitability of materials permanently exposed to tissue. Both implant materials used in the manufacturing process were reviewed. Standards relevant to the evaluation are BS EN ISO 10993-1:2009, Biological evaluation of medical devices Part 1 Evaluation and testing, and BS EN ISO 10993-18:2009, Biological evaluation of medical devices Part 18, Chemical characterization of materials.
The material used in this medical device is a clinically established material for use in invasive applications, and is the identical material used in the predicate device, which has been on the market since 2001: platinum/iridium alloy, 90%/10%.
Compositional analysis of the Malhotra Platinum Segments has been performed using x-ray fluorescence and induction coupled plasma techniques. Safety information for the processing materials has been obtained and evaluated.
EO Residuals for the Platinum Segments have been determined to be well within acceptable levels as specified in ISO 10993-7.
b) Sterility and Shelf Life:
Sterilization validation was completed according to ISO 11135-1:2007. The Half-Cycle Method test results demonstrated EO sterilization to a Sterility Assurance Level of 10 °. Validation is repeated yearly.
A five-year shelf life was validated using real-time aging, shipping, visual inspection, dye leak tesing, and seal strength testing. Test results demonstrated that package integrity and product sterility are maintained over the stated five-year shelf life.
c) MR Compatibility:
MRI Compatibility testing according to recognized standards was undertaken to determine magnetic field interactions, heating, and image artifacts for the Malhotra Platinum Segments to support the claim of "MR Conditional." Worst-case product configuration and positioning for MRI-related heating was determined. Testing demonstrated that the implants are conditionally safe when exposed to a magnetic field of 3-Tesla or less.
i. MRI Related force: A deflection angle test was conducted. The finding for translational attraction for the Malhotra Platinum Segment was 2-degrees. Torque testing was conducted, and the qualitatively measured torque at 3-Tesla for the Malhotra Platinum Segment was 0, no torque.
ii. MRI Related Heating: MRI-related heating evaluation at 1.5-Tesla/64-MHz indicated that the greatest amount of heating that occurred was equal to or less than 2.0°C. The result for testing at 3-Tesla/128-MHz indicated that the greatest amount of heating was equal to or less than 1.5°C.
iii. MRI Related artifact: MRI Related artifact testing for both echo pulse and echo spin sequences was conducted. The gradient echo pulse sequence produced larger artifacts than the T1-weighted, spin echo pulse sequence for the device. The maximum artifact size (i.e., as seen on the gradient echo pulse sequence) extends approximately 10-mm relative to the size and shape of the Malhotra Platinum Segment.

7. Performance Data:
a) Biompatibility Testing:
Biocompatibility evaluation conducted on the Malhotra Platinum Segments shows the suitability of materials permanently exposed to tissue. Both implant materials used in the manufacturing process were reviewed. Standards relevant to the evaluation are BS EN ISO 10993-1:2009, Biological evaluation of medical devices Part 1 Evaluation and testing, and BS EN ISO 10993-18:2009, Biological evaluation of medical devices Part 18, Chemical characterization of materials.
5
The material used in this medical device is a clinically established material for use in invasive applications, and is the identical material used in the predicate device, which has been on the market since 2001: platinum/iridium alloy, 90%/10%.
BS EN ISO 10993-18:2009 identifies that a documented qualitative description of the finished device, including additives and processing residues for each material used, is required as part of the determination of material equivalence. Compositional analysis of the Malhotra Platinum Segments has been performed using x-ray fluorescence and induction coupled plasma techniques. Safety information for the processing materials has been obtained and evaluated.
Ethylene Oxide does not alter the biocompatibility of the Malhotra Platinum Segments as they are made of metal, are very small, do not have grooves or cavities, and therefore not highly retentive of EO residuals. EO Residuals for the Platinum Segments have been determined to be well within acceptable levels as specified in ISO 10993-7.
Paragraph 6.1 (material characterization) of BS EN ISO 10993-1:2009 states that if the combination of all materials, chemicals and processes has an established history of safe use in the intended application, then further characterization and biological evaluation might not be necessary. The material used in this medical device is a clinically established material for use in invasive applications, and is identical to the material used in the predicate device, having a toxicological safety no worse than that of the predicate.
b) Sterility and Shelf Life:
Sterilization validation was completed according to ISO 11135-1:2007. Sterilization of health products -Ethylene Oxide – Requirement, validation and routine control of a sterilization process for medical devices. The Half-Cycle Method test results demonstrated EO sterilization to a Sterility Assurance Level of 10 °. Validation is repeated yearly.
A five-year shelf life was validated using real-time aging, shipping, visual inspection, dye leak tesing, and seal strength testing. Test results demonstrated that package integrity and product sterility are maintained over the stated five-year shelf life. Tests were completed according to:
- . Visual Seal Integrity Inspection (ASTM F1886 / F1886M-09, 2013)
- . Package burst strength (ASTM F1140/F1140M-13)
- . Package Dye Leak Test (ASTM F1929-12)
c) MR Compatibility:
MRI Compatibility testing according to recognized standards was undertaken to determine magnetic field interactions, heating, and image artifacts for the Malhotra Platinum Segments to support the claim of "MR Conditional." Worst-case product configuration and positioning for MRI-related heating was determined. Testing demonstrated that the implants are conditionally safe when exposed to a magnetic field of 3-Tesla or less.
- i. MRI Related force
For the assessment of translational attraction, a deflection angle test was conducted. A 3-Tesla (GE Excite) active-shielded, MRI scanner was used for the assessments of magnetic field interactions. The Malhotra Platinum Segment was attached to a special non-metallic, test apparatus to measure the deflection angle in the MR system. The finding for translational attraction for the Malhotra Platinum Segment was 2-degrees.
6
Torque testing was conducted with the Malhotra Platinum Segment on a test apparatus positioned in the center of the MR system. The Malhotra Platinum Segment was directly observed for possible movement with respect to alignment or rotation relative to the static magnetic field of the 3-Tesla MR system. The following qualitative scale of torque was applied to the results: 0 (no torque) up to +4 (very strong torque). The qualitatively measured torque at 3-Tesla for the Malhotra Platinum Segment was 0, no torque.
-
ii. MRI Related Heating
MRI-related heating evaluation at 1.5-Tesla/64-MHz in worst-case positioning indicated that the greatest amount of heating that occurred in association with these specific conditions was equal to or less than 2.0°C. The result for testing at 3-Tesla/128-MHz indicated that the greatest amount of heating was equal to or less than 1.5°C -
iii. MRI Related artifact
MRI Related artifact testing for both echo pulse and echo spin sequences was conducted. The gradient echo pulse sequence produced larger artifacts than the T1-weighted, spin echo pulse sequence for the device. The maximum artifact size (i.e., as seen on the gradient echo pulse sequence) extends approximately 10-mm relative to the size and shape of the Malhotra Platinum Segment.
8. Conclusion:
The Malhotra Platinum Segment device is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices based on having the same intended use and similar technological characteristics. Minor differences in technological characteristics, size configuration and sterilization method, do not raise new issues of safety or efficacy. Performance data demonstrate sterility, shelf life, biocompatibility in a magnetic resonance environment.
