No
The document describes mechanical surgical tools (burs and drill bits) and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI or ML.

No
The document describes surgical tools (burs and drill bits) used for manipulating tissue during surgery, which fits the definition of a surgical instrument used in a therapeutic procedure, rather than a therapeutic device that directly treats a condition.

No.
The device description indicates that surgical burs and drill bits are used for mechanical actions like drilling, reaming, sculpting, and removing tissue, which are interventional rather than diagnostic functions. There is no mention of the device providing information about a patient's health condition.

No

The device description explicitly states the devices are made of stainless steel and/or tungsten carbide, indicating they are physical hardware components, 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 surgical procedures involving drilling, reaming, sculpting, etc., of bone, hard tissue, and soft tissue. This is a direct surgical intervention on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device description details surgical tools (burs and drill bits) made of materials suitable for cutting and shaping tissue during surgery.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue samples) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVD devices are used in vitro (outside the body) to analyze samples. This device is used in vivo (inside the body) during a surgical procedure.

N/A

Intended Use / Indications for Use

The surgical bur and surgical drill bit devices are for use during surgical procedures to cut hard tissue or bone and soft tissue. Indications for use of the surgical bur and surgical drill bit devices are situations in surgical procedures where bone, hard tissue, or soft tissue is drilled, reamed, sculpted, augmented, reduced, replaced, or removed.

Dear Mr. Fisher:

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 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
