The 510(k) summary describes a passive implantable marker and its delivery system. There is no mention of any computational or analytical functions, let alone AI/ML. The device's function is purely physical marking for imaging purposes.
No.
The device is indicated for marking sites in soft tissue for radiographic visibility and future medical procedures, not for treating a disease or condition.
No
The SmartClip™ is a marker intended for radiographic marking of soft tissue sites for future medical procedures. It does not perform any diagnostic analysis or interpretation of medical conditions. Its purpose is to facilitate localization for subsequent procedures, not to diagnose a disease.
No
The device description clearly details physical components (marker, delivery system, needle, stylet, bone wax plug) and mentions mechanical integrity testing, indicating it is a hardware device.
Based on the provided information, the SmartClip™ is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue samples) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- The SmartClip™ is an implanted device placed in vivo (inside the body) to mark soft tissue sites for future medical procedures and imaging.
- Its function is to be a visible marker within the body, not to analyze biological samples.
The description clearly states it's a "permanently implanted marker" and its purpose is for "radiographic marking of sites in soft tissue" and to be "detected by means of radiography (including mammographic imaging), ultrasound and MRI." This aligns with the definition of an implanted medical device, not an IVD.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The implanted SmartClip™ is indicated for radiographic marking of sites in soft tissue. In addition, the Marker is indicated in situations where the soft tissue site needs to be marked for future medical procedures.

Device Description
The SmartClip™ is an ethylene oxide sterile, single use device composed of a soft tissue marker preloaded in a Delivery System. The marker is intended to be placed within soft tissue. The marker is visible using radiography (including mammographic imaging), ultrasound and MRI.
A sterile, single use device permanently implanted marker is approximately 8 mm wide. The marker is placed into the barrel of the introducer and maintained in place prior to insertion by a biocompatible bone wax plug. The marker can be implanted into various types of soft tissue (e.g., lung, gastrointestinal system, and breast) and subsequently be detected by means of radiography (including mammographic imaging), ultrasound and MRI.
The Delivery System consists of a stylet, a stylet-lock to prevent and 15ga introducer needle. The stainless steel needle is approximately 10.8 cm long with 1cm depth reference marks. The marker is preloaded inside the needle and retained by a bone wax plug. When the stylet is completely depressed the marker and bone wax plug, are deployed from the end of the needle.

Dear Ms. Kridner:
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 of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820);

All necessary testing has been performed for the SmartClip™ to assure substantial equivalence to the predicate devices and demonstrate the device performs as intended.
The device design was qualified through the following tests:
- Simulated Use .
- . Mechanical Integrity
- . Imaging Assessment
- MR Compatibility
- Biocompatibility
- Packaging
- Sterilization ●
Conclusion:
The SmartClip™ met all specified criteria and did not raise new safety or performance questions.
Basis for Determination of Substantial Equivalence:
The Indications for Use, Intended Use, Fundamental Scientific Technology and Principles of Operation for the SmartClip™ are the same as those described for the predicate device. The SmartClip™ is found to have a safety and effectiveness profile that is the same as the predicate device and is determined by Elucent Medical to be substantially equivalent.
In summary, the SmartClip™ has the following similarties to the predicate device which have previously received 510(k) clearance:
- Has the same indications for use
- Has the same intended use
- Has the same implant duration
- Used in the same anatomical site
- Uses similar technological characteristics
- Uses the same principles of operation
- Uses biocompatible materials
- Has the same sterility assurance level
Therefore, the conclusions drawn from the and clinicaltests (biocompatibility) demonstrate that the devices as safe, as effective, and performs as well as the beatly marketed device predicate. The SmartClip™ is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
