Intended Use
The Custom Scleral Cover Shell, is an ocular prosthesis, (artificial eye), fitted over a deformed, or disfigured blind eye, or over an eviscerated globe, for a specific patient. Scleral Cover Shells are also indicated for patients with Microphthalmia, Phthisis Bulbi, or other types of eye deformities. In cases of infants and children with microphthalmia, and /or anophthalmia, the orbital fascia, bony orbit, and palpebral fissures, will be provided with the volume and surface area necessary to develop more normally, thus avoiding the complication of future deformities and possible corrective surgery.

No
The summary describes a physical ocular prosthesis and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.

No
The device is described as an ocular prosthesis (artificial eye) primarily for cosmetic and developmental purposes (e.g., providing volume for normal development in infants), not for treating a disease or disorder.

No

The device is described as an "ocular prosthesis" (artificial eye) whose primary purpose is to fit over a deformed or disfigured eye, or to provide volume and surface area for normal development in infants and children with eye conditions, thereby avoiding future deformities. There is no indication that it is used to diagnose any condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it is an "ocular prosthesis, (artificial eye)", which is a physical object, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes the device as an ocular prosthesis (artificial eye) fitted over a deformed or disfigured eye for a specific patient. It is a physical device used to restore appearance and aid in the development of the eye socket.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a "SCLERAL SHELL, an ocular prosthesis, (artificial eye)".
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not involve the analysis of any biological specimens.

Therefore, the Custom Scleral Cover Shell is a medical device, specifically a prosthesis, but it does not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Dear Mr. Guerra:

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 (QS) inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the OMP 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.
