The summary describes a mechanical device (clip and delivery system) and a sizing guide. There is no mention of AI/ML terms, image processing, or data sets for training/testing algorithms. The performance studies focus on mechanical and functional aspects of the device.
Yes
The device is described as an implantable clip used to exclude the heart's left atrial appendage, indicating a direct therapeutic intervention to treat a medical condition.
No
The device is an implantable system designed to exclude the left atrial appendage, which is a treatment, not a diagnostic, procedure. While a selection guide assists in sizing, it doesn't diagnose a condition.
No
The device description explicitly states that the system consists of a physical, implantable clip and a delivery system, which are hardware components.
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 "exclusion of the heart's left atrial appendage, performed under direct visualization and in conjunction with other cardiac surgical procedures." This describes a surgical intervention performed directly on the patient's body.
- Device Description: The device is an "implantable Clip preloaded on a single use delivery system." This is a physical device designed to be implanted within the body.
- Lack of In Vitro Activity: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) outside of the body to provide information about a person's health. This device does not interact with specimens in this way.
The device is a surgical implant used for a therapeutic purpose (excluding the LAA), not for diagnostic testing of samples outside the body.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The LAA Exclusion System is indicated for the exclusion of the heart's left atrial appendage, performed under direct visualization and in conjunction with other cardiac surgical procedures.
Direct visualization, in this context, requires that the surgeon is able to see the heart directly, with or without assistance from a camera, endoscope, etc., or any other appropriate viewing technology.

Device Description
The LAA Exclusion System consists of a single use, sterile, self-closing, implantable Clip preloaded on a single use delivery system. When closed, the implant applies pressure to ensure exclusion of the left atrial appendage (LAA). Once the clip is deployed, it remains as a permanent implant. The implantable clip is available in lengths of 35mm, 40mm, 45mm to accommodate different sizes of LAA. The LAA Selection Guide is a sterile, single use, disposable surgical accessory device to assist the physician in selecting the appropriately sized clip implant for each individual patient.

Dear Toygar Unal:
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.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's

Indications for Use:
The LAA Exclusion System is indicated for the exclusion of the heart's left atrial appendage, performed under direct visualization and in conjunction with other cardiac surgical procedures.
Direct visualization, in this context, requires that the surgeon is able to see the heart directly, with or without assistance from a camera, endoscope, etc., or any other appropriate viewing technology.
Comparison of Technological Characteristics with the Predicate Device (LAA Exclusion System, K220305):
The modifications to the LAA Exclusion System include minor changes to the following, dimensional and shape changes to the release wire, an increase in the recapture force specification, addition of a new specification around recapture without depressing the release trigger, and an update to the IFU instructions for use to instruct the user to depress the release trigger during recapture. A comparison of the technological characteristics of the subject device is summarized in Table 1.

Performance Data:
Design verification testing was performed to ensure that the modified LAA Exclusion System continues to meet its performance specifications. The following tests were conducted to demonstrate equivalence to the predicate device.
- Bent Shaft Functional Check
- Trigger Actuation Force
- . Deployment/Recapture
- . Clip Orientation
- One Pin Mis-Capture ●
- Recapture Indicator
- Implant Tip Opening
- Implant Root Opening
- Implant Deployment Force
- Implant Recapture Force
- Implant Retention Strength
- Implant Forced Pull-Off
- . Max Dose Sterilization
All pre-determined acceptance criteria were met. The data demonstrate that the modified LAA Exclusion System is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
Conclusion:
6
Review of the design verification test data as well as comparison of the indications for use, operating principle, technological characteristics, sterility, and biocompatibility demonstrate that the modified LAA Exclusion System is substantially equivalent to the predicate LAA Exclusion System cleared under K220305.
