CMF Titanium Guides are intended for children, adolescents and adults.

CMF Titanium Guides are intended for single use only.

CMF Titanium Guides are to be used by a physician trained in the performance of craniomaxillofacial surgery.

CMF Plastic Models

CMF Plastic Models are intended for visualization of the patient's anatomy, preparation of surgical interventions and fitting or adjustment of implants or other medical devices such as osteosynthesis plates or distractors, in craniofacial surgical procedures.

CMF Plastic Models are intended for infants, children, adolescents and adults.

CMF Plastic Models are intended for single use only.

CMF Plastic Models are to be used by a physician trained in the performance of craniomaxillofacial surgery.

Device Description

Materialise Personalized Guides and Models for Craniomaxillofacial Surgery combines the use of 3D pre-operative planning software with patient-matched guides and models to improve and simplify the performance of surgical interventions by transferring the pre-operative plan to surgery. Materialise Personalized Guides and Models for Craniomaxillofacial Surgery are used in the craniofacial skeleton or in craniomaxillofacial surgeries.

The surgical planning is based on medical images of the patient that are segmented in order to create a 3D representation of the patient's anatomy. The surgical treatment of the patient is simulated based on instructions provided by the surgeon and the patient-matched devices are tailored to the treatment and the patient's needs. The patient-matched devices are manufactured from commercially pure Titanium, polyamide, or clear acrylic by means of additive manufacturing technologies. The patient-matched devices are provided non-sterile.

Materialise Personalized Guides and Models for Craniomaxillofacial Surgery include CMF Titanium Guides and CMF Plastic Models.

Dear Polliane Carvalho:

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"

Your device is also subject to, among other requirements, the Quality System (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820), which includes, but is not limited to, 21 CFR 820.30, Design controls; 21 CFR 820.90, Nonconforming product; and 21 CFR 820.100, Corrective and preventive action. Please note that regardless of whether a change requires premarket review, the QS regulation requires device manufacturers to review and approve changes to device design and production (21 CFR 820.30 and 21 CFR 820.70) and document changes and approvals in the device master record (21 CFR 820.181).

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 requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR Part 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reporting-combination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR Parts 1000-1050.

All medical devices, including Class I and unclassified devices and combination product device constituent parts are required to be in compliance with the final Unique Device Identification System rule ("UDI Rule"). The UDI Rule requires, among other things, that a device bear a unique device identifier (UDI) on its label and package (21 CFR 801.20(a)) unless an exception or alternative applies (21 CFR 801.20(b)) and that the dates on the device label be formatted in accordance with 21 CFR 801.18. The UDI Rule (21 CFR 830.300(a) and 830.320(b)) also requires that certain information be submitted to the Global Unique Device Identification Database (GUDID) (21 CFR Part 830 Subpart E). For additional information on these requirements, please see the UDI System webpage at https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/device-advice-comprehensive-regulatory-assistance/unique-device-identification-system-udi-system.

Substantial Equivalence Performance Conclusion

The subject device has similar indications for use, only differing in the anatomical region in which the device is intended, and identical technological characteristics as the predicate device. For cranial use, the subject device does not directly contact the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) as it contacts the exterior portion of the skull (bone). The subject device is not intended for implantation similar to the predicate device.

Risk assessment has been conducted and does not raise new issues of safety and effectiveness, and demonstrates substantial equivalence to the predicate device.
