Intended Use
Intended for medical purposes for use on infants from 3 to 18 months of age, with moderate-to-severe non-synostotic positional plagiocephaly, including infants with plagiocephalic-, and scaphocephalic-shaped heads by applying mild pressure to prominent regions of an infant's cranium in order to improve cranial symmetry and/or shape. These devices are also indicated for adjunctive use for infants from 3 to 18 months of age whose synostosis has been surgically corrected, but who still have moderate-to-severe cranial deformities including plagiocephalic-, brachycephalic-, and scaphocephalic-shaped heads.
Device Description
The Ottobock MyCRO Band is a non-sterile temporary orthosis to aid in the correction of head shape caused by positioning in infants three (3) to eighteen (18) months of age. As such, this device is manufactured to match patient anatomy and may only be used on the patient for which the cranial orthosis was designed. The orthosis uses contact and growth zones to guide the growth of the head. The contact zones define gentle limits for growth, while the growth zones leave space in areas required for forming the natural head shape. An adaptable closure allows for adjustability as the child grows. The orthosis is made of thermoplastic material with a soft, washable lining on the interior.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the physical design and function of a cranial orthosis and mentions 3D imaging for custom fitting, but there is no mention of AI or ML being used in the device's operation, design process beyond custom fitting, or analysis of patient data. The performance studies described are related to scanner accuracy, software validation for device specifications, and manufacturing process validation, not AI/ML model performance.

Yes.
The device is intended to treat moderate-to-severe non-synostotic positional plagiocephaly and cranial deformities by reshaping the cranium, indicating a therapeutic purpose.

No

Explanation: The device is described as a "non-sterile temporary orthosis to aid in the correction of head shape." Its purpose is to apply pressure and guide growth, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "non-sterile temporary orthosis" made of "thermoplastic material with a soft, washable lining," which are physical hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device description: The Ottobock MyCRO Band is an orthosis (a brace or support) applied externally to the infant's head. It works by applying pressure to guide cranial growth.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to improve cranial symmetry and/or shape by applying pressure to the head, not by analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of mention of biological samples: The description and intended use do not mention the collection or analysis of any biological samples.

Therefore, the Ottobock MyCRO Band is a medical device, specifically an orthosis, but it does not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Description of the test set, sample size, data source, and annotation protocol

Scanner Evaluation utilized a worst-case challenge reference object of known dimensions to assess 3D imaging devices for adequate accuracy, repeatability, and reproducibility. Scanners were compared to those previously cleared for use for the predicate device as well as internal acceptance criteria.

Software Validation demonstrated software performance, interoperability, and ability to meet internal device specifications. In addition to IQ, OQ, and PQ studies, a Fit Assessment was performed using test samples which were additively manufactured from 3D images of representative simulated cranial shapes using a previously cleared scanner.

Process Validation included dimensional analysis and mechanical testing of test samples to evaluate the additive manufacturing process performance, which was compared to the process used for the predicate device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

The following non-clinical tests were conducted and successfully met the pre-determined acceptance criteria (where testing was performed according to a recognized consensus standard, the designation number of the standard is referenced):

    1. Cytotoxicity testing per ISO 10993-5:2009 (Recognition Number: 2-245)
    1. Irritation and Sensitization testing per ISO 10993-10:2010 (Recognition Number: 2-174)
    1. Scanner evaluation, including repeatability/reproducibility study
    1. Validation of software workflow
    1. Simulated Cranial Fit Assessment
    1. Validation of additive manufacturing process

All testing passed acceptance criteria and demonstrate that the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

head
  • Positive mold is formed based upon
    measurements of the infant's head taken by an
    approved 3-dimensional imaging device from
    which a 3-dimensional image is made or from a
    traditional plaster cast
  • The 3-dimensional image is used to produce a

Conclusion

The MyCRO Band has identical indications for use as the predicate device in K180109. The fundamental technological characteristics of the MyCRO Band are the previously cleared predicate device. All testing passed acceptance criteria and demonstrate that the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

Based on similarities in indications for use, basic design, and the principle of operation, the Ottobock MyCRO Band is substantially equivalent to the previously cleared predicate device.
