No
The provided text does not mention AI, ML, or any related concepts like image processing, training sets, or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML devices. The description focuses on the mechanical function of creating slits and inserting grafts.

Yes
Explanation: The device is intended for hair restoration, which is a therapeutic intervention aimed at treating hair loss.

No
The device is described as being used solely for hair restoration, which involves creating slits and inserting hair grafts. This is a therapeutic/interventional procedure, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description explicitly states it "will first create slits in a recipient site in the scalp, and then insert hair grafts into these slits," indicating a physical, hardware-based intervention, not a software-only function.

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

Here's why:

  • IVDs are used to examine specimens from the human body. The intended use of this device is to perform a procedure directly on the human body (hair restoration on the scalp).
  • IVDs are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment. This device is a surgical tool used for a cosmetic/restorative procedure, not for diagnostic purposes or to provide information about a patient's health status.

The description clearly outlines a device used for a surgical procedure involving creating incisions and inserting grafts, which falls outside the scope of in vitro diagnostics.

Dear Dr. Markman:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to 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 (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. 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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements , as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic (OS) inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
