The device description and performance studies focus on the material composition and mechanical function of the embolization device, with no mention of AI or ML.
Yes.
The device is used for the embolization of hypervascular tumors and to occlude blood flow for controlling bleeding/hemorrhaging, which are therapeutic interventions.
No
The device is described as an embolic agent used to occlude blood flow for therapeutic purposes (treating tumors, controlling bleeding), not for diagnosis. Its description focuses on its composition and delivery for a mechanical barrier to blood flow.
No
The device description explicitly states that GEM™ consists of a pre-hydrated bioresorbable gelatin, layered silicate (Laponite) mixture, and tantalum powder packaged in a 1 ml syringe. This describes a physical, material-based device, not a software-only device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for the embolization of hypervascular tumors and blood vessels to control bleeding/hemorrhaging. This is a therapeutic intervention performed in vivo (within the body) to physically block blood flow.
- Device Description: The device is an injectable material (gelatin, silicate, tantalum powder) designed to be delivered into blood vessels. This is a physical device used for a therapeutic purpose.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not perform any such analysis of specimens.
The device is clearly a therapeutic medical device used for embolization procedures.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Two animal studies were conducted.
The first animal study was conducted on ten test (GEM™) and nine control (EmboCube™ Embolization Gelatin, K183120) adult swine (evenly distributed male and female) in 38 renal arteries and 19 hepatic arteries over 4 timepoints (4 days, 30 days, 180 days) to address the indication for embolization of hypervascular tumors. The animal study evaluated overall in life health, test article performance, occlusion, arterial flow scale, and regional and downstream response to GEM™ along with an analysis of explanted tissues to evaluate for downstream layered silicate presence/toxicity.
The second animal study for simulated hemorrhage was conducted on five test (GEM™) and five control (EmboCube™ Embolization Gelatin, K183120) adult swine in eight renal arteries and eight splenic arteries over a period of 7 days for the evaluation of persistence of hemostasis. The animal study included prespecified endpoints for overall in life health, test article performance, hemostatic success, macroscopic regional tissue response, time to hemostasis, and embolization effectiveness of GEM™. The product met its specifications. All test results confirmed that the technological differences between the subject and the predicate device did not adversely impact its performance.

A vascular embolization device is an intravascular implant intended to control hemorrhaging due to aneurysms, certain types of tumors (e.g., nephroma, hepatoma, uterine fibroids), and arteriovenous malformations. This does not include cyanoacrylates and other embolic agents, which act by polymerization or precipitation. Embolization devices used in neurovascular applications are also not included in this classification, see § 882.5950 of this chapter.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls.) The special control for this device is the FDA guidance document entitled “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Vascular and Neurovascular Embolization Devices.” For availability of this guidance document, see § 870.1(e).
