The 510(k) summary describes a physical embolic agent and its performance testing, with no mention of software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.
Yes
The device is described as "intended for use in the embolization of hypervascular tumors and blood vessels to occlude blood flow," which directly indicates a medical purpose to treat a condition.
No
The device is a gelatin agent intended for the embolization of hypervascular tumors and blood vessels to occlude blood flow. It is a therapeutic device, not a device used to diagnose a medical condition.
No
The device description clearly states it is a gelatin agent in a syringe, which is a physical, hardware component, not software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. These tests are performed outside the body.
- TEMBO Embolic System Function: The TEMBO Embolic System is a gelatin agent intended for embolization within the peripheral vasculature. This is a procedure performed inside the body to block blood flow.
- Lack of Diagnostic Testing: The description focuses on the physical properties of the gelatin particles and their use in a therapeutic procedure (embolization), not on analyzing biological samples for diagnostic purposes.
Therefore, the TEMBO Embolic System is a therapeutic medical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description
The TEMBO Embolic System consists of biocompatible, dry resorbable particles of porcine gelatin in a 10 mL syringe with a non-vented luer lock cap.
The TEMBO Embolic System is a gelatin agent and a sterile, single use, medical device intended for the embolization of hypervascular tumors and blood vessels to occlude blood flow in the peripheral vasculature. The TEMBO Embolic System particles are hydrated using commercially available contrast media or contrast mixed with saline. Once hydrated, the material is injected into the target blood vessel via a commercially available microcatheter for occlusion of target vasculature. The dry TEMBO Embolic System gelatin particles are between 85 µm.

Animal Testing: Instylla has conducted an animal study, on eleven swine, to evaluate the acute embolization effect of the TEMBO Embolic System in the swine kidney via the renal arteries. Additionally, the systemic impact of embolic was monitored during the survival period. The impact of embolization to the target tissue and non-target embolization/device migration was assessed over a period of 28 days. An additional animal study was conducted on 8 swine to evaluate the embolic effect of TEMBO at 7 days, compared to EmboCube and Gel-Bead as controls.

Dear Jennifer Greer:
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.

Device Description:
The TEMBO Embolic System consists of biocompatible, dry resorbable particles of porcine gelatin in a 10 mL syringe with a non-vented luer lock cap.

The TEMBO Embolic System is a gelatin agent and a sterile, single use, medical device intended for the embolization of hypervascular tumors and blood vessels to occlude blood flow in the peripheral vasculature. The TEMBO Embolic System particles are hydrated using commercially available contrast media or contrast mixed with saline. Once hydrated, the material is injected into the target blood vessel via a commercially available microcatheter for occlusion of target vasculature. The dry TEMBO Embolic System gelatin particles are between 85 µm.
Indications for Use:
The TEMBO Embolic System is a gelatin agent intended for use in the embolization of hypervascular tumors and blood vessels to occlude blood flow in the peripheral vasculature.
Comparison to Predicate and Reference Device:
The TEMBO Embolic System is similar in design to the predicate device, EmboCube Embolization Gelatin (K183120), as both provide a mechanical barrier to blood flow and are delivered using microcatheters. The TEMBO Embolic System's indications for use are similar to EmboCube's, as it is within the scope of the predicate device's indications for use. They are both intended to embolize hypervascular tumors and blood flow to occlude blood vessels in peripheral vasculature. The subject device contains gelatin and sodium chloride, while the predicate only contains gelatin. The TEMBO Embolic System and EmboCube Embolization Gelatin differ in particle size and shape: the subject device has a dry particle size between 85-255μm and has non-uniform particle shape, while the predicate device has a particle size of 2.5mm and 5mm and has a cube particle shape. The reference device, Gel-Bead Embolization Spheres (K133237), contains similar materials to the subject device and the hydrated TEMBO Embolic System particle size falls within the reference device's particle size ranges.
Performance Data
Performance testing of the final, sterilized TEMBO Embolic System included bench testing and functional testing to verify specifications fundamental to the device. Testing included the following:
- -Visual Verification

Sterility
TEMBO is sterilized via gamma radiation to a Sterility Assurance Level of 10 °, in accordance with ISO 11137-1 Sterilization of health care products Radiation Part 1: Requirements for development, validation and routine control of a sterilization process for medical devices and ISO 11137-2 Sterilization of health care products Radiation Part 2: Establishing the sterilization dose.
A bacterial endotoxins test (BET), also known as the Limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL) test, was validated to establish that the TEMBO endotoxin level will be
