No
The summary describes a physical medical device (a silicone tube with thread guides) for lacrimal duct intubation. There is no mention of software, algorithms, image processing, or any terms related to AI or ML. The performance studies focus on physical and material properties, not algorithmic performance.

Yes
The device is used in the "treatment" of various canalicular pathologies and congenital duct obstructions, which directly addresses medical conditions.

No

The RITLENG®+ is described as a "self-retaining nasal bicanalicular intubation for the lacrimal ducts," used in the treatment of various lacrimal pathologies, not for diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical medical device consisting of a silicone tube, PEEK thread guides, and potentially a PVP coating. It is a physical intubation device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a device used for the treatment of lacrimal duct pathologies by physically intubating the ducts. This is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic test performed in vitro (outside the body) on biological samples.
  • Device Description: The device is a physical tube designed for insertion into the lacrimal ducts. This aligns with a surgical or therapeutic device, not a diagnostic reagent or instrument used to analyze samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.

Therefore, the RITLENG®+ is a medical device used for treatment, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Identification of a Legally Marketed Predicate Device

RITLENG®+ is substantially equivalent to the RITLENG® intubation marketed by FCI Ophthalmics, Inc., 510(k) Premarket Notification Number K955671, FDA Product Code OKS.

General Description

The RITLENG®+ is a self-retaining nasal bicanalicular intubation for the lacrimal ducts. It consists of a silicone tube with two larger diameter portions, connected at each extremity with a PEEK thread guide. Each thread guide has a wide diameter part and a narrow diameter part. The silicone tube may be coated with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) to improve its wettability. The central body of the intubation displays a marking intended for the intubation placement between the lacrimal puncta.

Intended Use

The RITLENG®+ products are indicated in the treatment of epiphora in patients of 12 months and older in cases of:

  • Canalicular pathologies (stenoses, obstructions, lacerations). -
  • Congenital duct obstruction (Hasner valve stenosis), -
  • Dacryocystorhinostomy (conventional or laser). -

Comparison of Technological Characteristics

RITLENG®+ is substantially equivalent to the RITLENG® Intubation as both devices have the identical intended use and intubation method, with similar indications for use statements. The implant part of both devices is made from the identical grade silicone: and the silicone tube of both devices may be coated with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) to improve its wettability. Both devices are packaged in a double Tyvek pouch and sterilized by Ethylene Oxide to a sterility level of SAL 10-6.

The difference between the two devices is the addition of the two larger diameter portions of the silicone tube to the RITLENG® that create a self-retaining (autostable) feature when placed in the lacrimal ducts.

Based on this comparison, RITLENG®+ is substantially equivalent to the RITLENG® predicate device (K955671).

Brief Summary of Non-Clinical Tests and Results

RITLENG®+ has been designed and tested to the applicable standards. All nonclinical test results met the established specifications for the device. In-process controls and final product quality controls, including finished product release testing and inspection, assure that RITLENG®+ is manufactured within specifications. The biocompatibility of the device is supported by cytotoxicity testing per ISO 10993-5, three sets of chemical characterization testing using different patient contacting device components per ISO 10993-18, and toxicological risk assessment based on these chemical characterization results. The biocompatibility of the subject device was also supported by biocompatibility information of the materials used in the subject device to the materials used in the cleared predicate. Ethylene oxide sterilization specifications, package integrity studies, and stability studies were performed to the applicable standards; and the test results support the shelf-life and storage conditions for the device.
