No
The summary does not mention AI, ML, or any related terms, and the device description focuses on standard imaging and measurement functionalities. The performance studies analyze the effectiveness of fluorescence imaging in identifying bacterial loads, not the performance of an AI/ML algorithm.
No.
The device is an imaging tool used for diagnosis and monitoring, and the intended use explicitly states, "The MolecuLight i:X does not diagnose or treat skin wounds."
No
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states, "The MolecuLight i:X does not diagnose or treat skin wounds." While it aids in identifying wounds with bacterial loads, it does not make a diagnosis itself.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "handheld medical imaging device comprised of a high-resolution color LCD display and touch-sensitive screen with integrated optical and microelectronic components," indicating it includes significant hardware components beyond just software.
Based on the provided information, the MolecuLight i:X is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).
Here's why:
- IVDs are used to examine specimens derived from the human body. The MolecuLight i:X is a handheld imaging tool that directly examines the wound on the patient's skin. It does not analyze samples like blood, urine, tissue biopsies, etc., which are typical for IVDs.
- The device's function is imaging and measurement. While it uses fluorescence to help identify areas with potentially high bacterial loads, it does so by visualizing the fluorescence emitted from the wound itself, not by analyzing a sample taken from the wound.
- The intended use explicitly states it's a "handheld imaging tool" and "does not diagnose or treat skin wounds." This further reinforces its role as an imaging and assessment aid, not a diagnostic test performed on a biological sample.
- The performance studies evaluate the device's ability to identify wounds with certain bacterial loads based on the fluorescence imaging. This is a correlation between the imaging findings and the bacterial load, not a direct measurement or analysis of bacteria in a sample.
In summary, the MolecuLight i:X is a medical imaging device used for visualizing and assessing wounds on the patient's body, not for performing diagnostic tests on biological specimens. Therefore, it falls outside the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The MolecuLight i:X is a handheld imaging tool that allows clinicians diagnosing and treating skin wounds, at the point of care, to
(i) View and digitally record images of a wound.
(ii) Measure and digitally record the size of a wound, and
(iii) View and digitally record images of fluorescence emitted from a wound when exposed to an excitation light.
The fluorescence image, when used in combination with clinical signs and symptoms, has been shown to increase the likelihood that clinicians can identify wounds containing bacterial loads >104 CFU per grams as compared to examination of clinical signs and symptoms alone. The MolecuLight i:X device should not be used to rule-out the presence of bacteria in a wound.
The MolecuLight i:X does not diagnose or treat skin wounds.

Dear Jordan John:
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.

Device Description
The MolecuLight i:X Imaging Device is a handheld medical imaging device comprised of a high-resolution color LCD display and touch-sensitive screen with integrated optical and microelectronic components. MolecuLight i:X uses its patented technology to enable real-time standard digital imaging and fluorescence imaging in wounds and surrounding healthy skin of patients as well as wound area measurements.
Comparison of Intended Use, Indications for Use and Technological Characteristics with the Predicate Device
The intended use and technological characteristics of the subject MolecuLight i:X are identical to the previously cleared MolecuLight i:X. The only difference between the subject and predicate device is an additional statement in the device's labeling clarifying the relationship between the presence of a cyan fluorescence signature and the increased likelihood that wound contains Pseudomonas aeruqinosa. This statement does not change the indications for use of the device, and does not raise any new questions of safety or efficacy. The statement is supported by additional analysis of the clinical study reported in support of K191371.

In summary, the modified MolecuLight i:X with the additional labeling statement is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed MolecuLight i:X. The intended use of the i:X device is the same as the predicate, and there are no differences in technological characteristics. The additional labeling statement does not raise different questions of safety or efficacy. Retrospective analysis has demonstrated the safety and effectiveness of MolecuLight i:X with regards to the additional labeling statement. Thus, the MolecuLight i:X is substantially equivalent to the previously cleared MolecuLight i:X.
Non-Clinical Testing
No non-clinical performance testing was performed for this 510(k) submission.
Clinical Performance Testing
Data from 350 patients were retrospectively analyzed to evaluate the effectiveness of MolecuLight i:X to identify wounds with Pseudomonas aeruginosa at bacterial loads ≥ 104 CFU/g based on sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV, and likelihood ratio.
