No
The document describes a physical implant for ossicular chain replacement and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing capabilities that would indicate the use of AI or ML.
Yes
The device is intended for partial replacement of the ossicular chain to facilitate conduction of sound energy, which addresses a medical condition by restoring a physiological function.
No
This device is an implant designed for the partial replacement of the ossicular chain to facilitate sound energy conduction, which indicates a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function.
No
The device description clearly details physical implants made of gold and titanium, intended for surgical implantation in the middle ear. There is no mention of software components.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the devices are for "partial replacement of the ossicular chain to facilitate conduction of sound energy from the ear drum to the inner ear." This is a surgical implant designed to restore mechanical function within the middle ear.
- Device Description: The description details the physical components of the implants (gold and titanium materials, shapes, stems, bells, clamps). This aligns with a physical medical device, not a diagnostic test.
- Anatomical Site: The anatomical site is the "Middle ear," which is an internal part of the body where a surgical implant would be placed.
- Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's condition. The device's function is purely mechanical.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device does not fit that description.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
Bell Implants (Gold and Titanium)
The KURZ Bell implants are intended for partial replacement of the ossicular chain to facilitate conduction of sound energy from the ear drum to the inner ear. The prostheses are implanted into the middle ear during a tympanoplasty procedure and are retained in the middle ear by the design configuration of the devices and the favorable biocompatible characteristics of gold and titanium.
Angular Prosthesis (Plester) (Gold with Titanium Bands)
The KURZ Angular Prosthesis is intended to bridge defects at the long incudal process and otherwise intact chain.
The devices can be used on adults and children.
INDICATIONS FOR USE: [K972492]
For bridging defects at the long incudal process in patients with otherwise intact mobile chain.
INDICATIONS FOR USE: [K972492 Bell Prosthesis (Partial)]
Ossicle replacement in case of interrupted sound conducting chain and intact, mobile stapes footplate.
The Bell Prosthesis is intended for partial replacement of the auditory ossicles.
The bell is mounted on the head of the stapes, i.e. interposed between stapes and ear drum or stapes and manubrium mallei. Should stapes head no longer exist, bell is placed on intact arch of crus.

Device Description
Gold (Bell)
The implant consists of a golden wire rectangle or an extremely thin mesh plate with a structured outer surface and a stem which is available in 1/4mm incremental lengths. It ends in a 'bell' with miniscule slits.
Titanium (Bell)
The implant consists of a titanium mesh plate that is textured on the surface that faces the tvmpanum. A bell with four slits and a textured inner side is located at the upper end of the shaft.
Angular C.
The Angular prosthesis (Plester) consists of a slit bell, an angular stem (both Au), and two (2) titanium clamps at its end. The open ends of the titanium clamps are slightly staggered, so that they do not touch each other.
The devices are implants for single patient use. They come in an individual sterile package in a sealed carton.
The Angular prosthesis (Plester) consists of two titanium bands which are connected by a gold wire to the bell with its cross-shaped slits.
The bands function as clamps and are positioned on the long incudal process. In cases of arrosion at the distal end of the long incudal process, the prosthesis allows the reconstruction of the continuity of the auditory ossicular chain. By slight lateral displacement of one end of the bands overclosure is possible. Titanium ensures a firm connection with the bone.

Dear Mr. Maser:
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, 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 and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (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, Tile 21. Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, 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 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 Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
This letter will allow you to begin marketing your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4613. Additionally, for question and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97).
