Intended Use
The ACE System is primarily intended for the controlled incision or removal of bone in the ear, nose, throat and other areas of the head and neck. It also has applications in neurosurgery (e.g. cervical laminectomies), hand surgery, and plastic surgery (e.g. facial and mandibular reconstruction)
Device Description
The ACE System is made up of a console, electric motor handpiece, foot pedal and various accessories. The Console is designed to mount onto an IV pole or to set on a cart and provides control of various functions such as handpiece speed and direction and irrigation. It has the ability to operate one or two handpieces (one selected at a time), angled and straight, and incorporates irrigation capability.
More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes a surgical drill system with basic controls (speed, direction, irrigation) and does not mention any features related to data analysis, learning, or adaptive behavior typically associated with AI/ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" field is explicitly "Not Found".

Yes
The device is used for controlled incision or removal of bone in surgical procedures, directly acting on the body to treat or alter health conditions.

No

The device description indicates its purpose is for the controlled incision or removal of bone, which is a surgical or treatment function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description explicitly lists hardware components such as a console, electric motor handpiece, and foot pedal, indicating it is not a software-only device.

Based on the provided information, the ACE System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the ACE System is for the controlled incision or removal of bone in various parts of the body (ear, nose, throat, head, neck, neurosurgery, hand surgery, plastic surgery). This is a surgical procedure performed directly on a patient.
  • Device Description: The device description details a system with a console, handpiece, foot pedal, and accessories used for surgical procedures involving bone.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) taken from the human body to provide information about a physiological state, health, or disease. The ACE System does not perform this function. It is a surgical tool used on the body.

Therefore, the ACE System is a surgical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 874.4140 Ear, nose, and throat bur.

(a)
Identification. An ear, nose, and throat bur is a device consisting of an interchangeable drill bit that is intended for use in an ear, nose, and throat electric or pneumatic surgical drill (§ 874.4250) for incising or removing bone in the ear, nose, or throat area. The bur consists of a carbide cutting tip on a metal shank or a coating of diamond on a metal shank. The device is used in mastoid surgery, frontal sinus surgery, and surgery of the facial nerves.(b)
Classification. Class I (general controls). The device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 874.9.

7.1 Discussion of Differences

There are no substantial differences between the ACE System and the equivalent electrical drill systems other than in device performance, as noted by the enhanced speed and torque with the ACE System. The improved performance of the ACE System is equivalent to the performance of pneumatic drills currently on the market. The ACE System combines the speed and torque of the equivalent Pneumatic drills with the design and controls of the equivalent electrical systems.
