Intended Use
The JTL Tissue Processing Device is a sterile medical device intended for the processing of lipoaspirate tissue in medical procedures involving the harvesting, concentrating and transferring of autologous adipose tissue harvested with a legally marketed lipoplasty system. The device is intended for use in the following surgical specialties when the transfer of harvested adipose tissue is desired: orthroscopic surgery, neurosurgery, gastrointestinal and affiliated organ surgery, urological surgery, gynecological surgery, thoracic surgery, laparoscopic surgery, and plastic and reconstructive surgery when aesthetic body contouring is desired. Only legally marketed accessory items, such as syringes, should be used with the system. If harvested fat is to be re-implanted, the harvested fat is only to be used without any additional manipulation.
Device Description
The JTL-250-01 Tissue Processing Device is a centrifuge tube for processing lipoaspirate fat tissue that is intended for autologous homofunctional implant (lipofilling). The device is a pre-assembled, single-use centrifuge tube composed of a collection upper chamber, intermediate chamber, and a lower chamber. The diameter of the JTL Tissue Processing Device is 4.2 inches at the top ring and 3.6 inches in the main body. It stands 4 inches tall. The device weighs less than 1 pound. The components of the device are made of biocompatible materials. The device is sterilized by radiation and is intended for single use only. The JTL Tissue Processing Device is to be used in a healthcare facility. It is to be used and in contact with patient tissue for less than 24 hours and is made of materials that are biocompatible.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical characteristics and mechanical function of a centrifuge tube for tissue processing, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

No.
The device is described as a tissue processing device intended for the processing of lipoaspirate tissue, not for directly treating or diagnosing a disease or condition. Its function is to prepare tissue for re-implantation, which is part of a larger medical procedure.

No

The JTL Tissue Processing Device is explicitly described for processing lipoaspirate tissue (harvesting, concentrating, transferring) for re-implantation, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function. It does not mention any function for identifying or analyzing diseases or conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical centrifuge tube made of biocompatible materials, intended for processing lipoaspirate tissue. It is a hardware device.

Based on the provided information, the JTL Tissue Processing Device is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for processing lipoaspirate tissue in medical procedures involving harvesting, concentrating, and transferring autologous adipose tissue. This is a procedural device used during a medical intervention on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a centrifuge tube for processing tissue. It's a tool used to manipulate tissue outside the body, but it's part of a surgical procedure, not a diagnostic test.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Purpose: The device does not perform any tests or analyses on the tissue to diagnose a condition, monitor a disease, or determine a patient's health status. Its purpose is to prepare the tissue for re-implantation.
  • No Mention of Diagnostic Testing: The description of performance studies focuses on biocompatibility and mechanical performance, not on the accuracy or reliability of any diagnostic results.

In Vitro Diagnostics (IVDs) are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body for the purpose of providing information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of a disease or condition. The JTL Tissue Processing Device does not fit this definition.

Comparison of Technological Characteristics with the Predicate Device and Subject Device

JoinTech Labs has identified the LipoGems System (K161636) as the predicate device. The JTL Tissue Processing Device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device based upon the following similarities:

    1. The intended use of both the predicate device and the JTL Tissue Processing Device is to process lipoaspirate fat tissue, with the result being a homogeneous and micronized fraction of fat tissue;
    1. Both devices have mechanics that facilitate mixing and filtering of the tissue to a point where the tissue can be implanted; and
    1. Both devices are made from biocompatible materials.
