No
The 510(k) summary describes a mechanical device for stone retrieval and lithotripsy and contains no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data-driven performance metrics.

No.
The device is indicated for the retrieval and crushing of stones, which are interventional procedures rather than therapeutic.

No
Explanation: The device is indicated for the retrieval and crushing of stones, which are therapeutic procedures, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description and performance studies clearly indicate a physical device (basket) used for stone retrieval and lithotripsy, not a software-only product.

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 retrieval and crushing of stones within the biliary system. This is a therapeutic and interventional procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description (or lack thereof): While the description is "Not Found," the intended use clearly describes a physical device used for mechanical manipulation within the body.
  • No mention of in vitro testing: There is no indication that this device is used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) outside of the body to provide diagnostic information.
  • Anatomical Site: The device operates within the "biliary system," which is an internal anatomical site.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies mentioned relate to the device's physical characteristics, biocompatibility, safety, and performance in use, not its ability to diagnose a condition based on in vitro analysis.

IVD devices are specifically designed to be used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens and provide diagnostic information about a patient's health. This device's function is clearly therapeutic and interventional, not diagnostic in the IVD sense.

DESCRIPTIVE AND TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF PROPOSED AND PREDICATE DEVICES

K964937 p 2073

Boston Scientific Corporation believes that the Lithotripter-Compatible Basket is substantially equivalent to the currently-marketed Monolith Mechanical Lithotripter. Figure 9-1 compares the descriptive characteristics of these products.

PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS

Laboratory testing regarding characteristics was performed on Lithotripter-Compatible Basket to verify its safety and performance. A biocompatibility assessment was performed on the patient- and fluid-contact materials of the Lithotripter-Compatible Basket with satisfactory results.

PACKAGING, STERILIZATION, AND PYROGENICITY

The Lithotripter-Compatible Basket will be packaged in a PVC tray and placed inside a Tyvek-Mylar pouch. The Lithotripter-Compatible Basket will be sterilized using ethylene oxide gas using the AAMI protocol for ethylene oxide sterilization. Pyrogenicity testing will be performed on a periodic basis to monitor bacterial endotoxin levels.

CONCLUSION

Boston Scientific Corporation believes that Lithotripter-Compatible Basket is substantially equivalent to its currently-marketed Monolith Mechanical Lithotripter and Biliary Helical and Mini-Helical Baskets. Figure 9-1 compares the descriptive characteristics of these products. As demonstrated in Figure 9-1, the Lithotripter-Compatible Basket is equivalent in its indications for use, while being very similar in design and materials. In addition, Boston Scientific Corporation has presented laboratory testing and biocompatibility information. The information presented provides assurance that the Lithotripter-Compatible Basket will meet the minimum requirements that are considered acceptable for its intended use.
