No
The summary describes a mechanical system for kyphoplasty and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML. The performance studies focus on mechanical properties of the balloon catheter.
Yes
The device is described as being used for the reduction of fractures and/or creation of a void in cancellous bone in the spine, tibia, and calcaneus, including percutaneous vertebral augmentation, which are therapeutic medical procedures.
No
The device description and intended use indicate that the TRACKER Plus Kyphoplasty System is used for the reduction of fractures and/or creation of a void in cancellous bone and percutaneous vertebral augmentation. These are therapeutic and interventional procedures, not diagnostic ones. There is no mention of the device being used to identify or analyze a condition.
No
The device description explicitly lists hardware components (balloon catheter, cement dispenser kit, cement mixing system) and describes performance testing on the balloon catheter.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use describes a surgical procedure involving the reduction of fractures and creation of voids in bone, followed by the use of bone cement. This is a therapeutic intervention performed directly on the patient's body.
- Device Description: The device components (balloon catheter, cement dispenser kit, cement mixing system) are all instruments used in a surgical procedure.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD is a medical device used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The provided information does not mention any testing of biological samples.
Therefore, the TRACKER Plus Kyphoplasty System is a surgical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Dear Barry Sands:
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.

VI. NON-CLINICAL TESTING
The performance test was conducted using Tracker Plus Balloon Catheter to evaluate balloon deflation, burst pressure, fatigue strength, unconstrained burst strength, and inflated dimension as per "ISO 10555-4: Intravascular catheters – Sterile and Single use catheters – Part 4: Balloon dilation catheters."
VII. CONCLUSION
The TRACKER Plus Kyphoplasty System is as safe and effective as the TRACKER Kyphoplasty System (Primary Predicate, K192335) and 11G InterV Kyphoplasty Catheter (Flex) (K162453). The TRACKER Kyphoplasty System has the same intended uses and indications for use and has only minor differences in technological characteristics and principles of operation as the previously cleared primary predicate. The TRACKER Plus Kyphoplasty System also has the same general intended use, technological characteristics, and principles of operation as the previously cleared secondary predicate. The technological differences between the subject device and the predicates do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness. Performance data demonstrate that the TRACKER Plus Kyphoplasty System is as safe and effective as the primary and secondary predicate. Thus, the TRACKER Kyphoplasty System is substantially equivalent to predicate devices.
