The summary describes a traditional surgical drill system with various components and attachments. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any data-driven decision-making capabilities. The performance studies focus on mechanical and electrical safety, not algorithmic performance.
No.
The device is described as a surgical tool for cutting, drilling, and removal of tissue/bone, which are instrumental functions rather than therapeutic ones.
No
This device is described as a surgical system for cutting, drilling, and sawing tissues in various procedures, indicating it is an operative device rather than one used for diagnosing conditions.
No
The device description explicitly lists multiple hardware components including handpieces, a power console, footswitches, attachments, cables, and cutting tools.
Based on the provided information, the hekaDrill system is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes the system's function in surgical procedures involving the cutting, removal, drilling, and sawing of tissues and bone within the body. This is an in vivo application.
- Device Description: The components listed (handpieces, console, footswitches, cutting tools, etc.) are all designed for direct surgical intervention on a patient.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (blood, urine, tissue samples, etc.) outside the body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment.
IVD devices are specifically designed to be used in vitro (in a test tube or other artificial environment) to analyze samples from the human body. The hekaDrill system is a surgical tool used in vivo (within the living body).

Dear Faith Robertson:
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 (the 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 available 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.
Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99812/download) and "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Software Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99785/download).

XI. Comparison of the Technological Characteristics
The primary predicate (Skeeter Ultra-Lite Oto-Tool Drill system) consists of a dedicated electric handpiece, consoles, footpedals and a range of cutting accessories. The primary predicate device is similar to the system under review in that electric energy is used to supply power to the handpiece which then operates interchangeable cutting tools. Both systems have ENT specific indications for use.
In addition, the secondary predicate devices (Midas Rex Drill Systems) are currently available on the market consisting of both pneumatic and electric handpieces, consoles, footpedals, attachments, cutting tools and system accessories. The secondary predicate devices are similar to the system under review in that air or electric energy is used to supply power to the handpiece which then operates interchangeable cutting tools that are supported by interchangeable attachments. Both systems have the same indications for use and both use similar materials.
In summary, a full comparison between the predicate devices and the hekaDrill system demonstrated that any of the differences between the devices do not have an impact on safety and effectiveness or its ability to perform its intended use.
