Intended Use
The NeoForm™ Annuloplasty Ring is indicated for the correction of mitral valvular insufficiency where the lesions are not so severe as to require total valve replacement.
Device Description
The NeoForm™ Annuloplasty Ring, Model 4200 is a rigid implantable annuloplasty ring designed to reduce and stabilize the valve annulus in patients undergoing mitral repair. The inner core of the ring is made of a titanium alloy. Silicone covers the inner core and a sewing cuff made of polyester fabric encompasses the ring. Three points of the ring are marked with polyester suture to aid in suture placement for implantation. The ring is available in four sizes: 26 mm; 28 mm; 30 mm; and 32 mm.
More Information

No
The 510(k) summary describes a purely mechanical, implantable annuloplasty ring with no mention of software, algorithms, or any technology that would suggest AI/ML capabilities.

Yes
The device is implanted to correct mitral valvular insufficiency, directly treating a medical condition.

No
The device is an implantable annuloplasty ring for surgical correction of mitral valvular insufficiency, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a rigid implantable annuloplasty ring made of titanium alloy, silicone, and polyester fabric, indicating it is a physical hardware device.

Based on the provided information, the NeoForm™ Annuloplasty Ring is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the "correction of mitral valvular insufficiency" through surgical implantation. This is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a "rigid implantable annuloplasty ring." This is a medical device designed to be surgically placed within the body to treat a condition.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) outside of the body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health. The NeoForm™ Annuloplasty Ring is a surgically implanted device used to repair a heart valve.

Dear Mr. Mathison:

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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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

1

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) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/CombinationProducts/GuidanceRegulatoryInformation/ucm597488.htm); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Safety/ReportaProblem/default.htm.
