No
The device description is for a silicone gel sheeting product, and there is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology typically associated with AI/ML in the provided text.

Yes
The device is described as "used on hypertrophic or keloid scars in order to soften or lighten the color of these scars," indicating an action to treat or manage a medical condition.

No

The device description indicates it is used for softening or lightening the color of scars, which is a treatment, not a diagnostic function.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of "a solid piece of low durometer medical grade silicone with a thin, high durometer silicone backing," indicating it is a physical product, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is the "Management of hypertrophic and keloid scars." This is a therapeutic or management purpose, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The device is a silicone gel sheeting applied externally to intact skin. This is a physical barrier or treatment, not something that analyzes samples from the body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to diagnose a condition.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting biomarkers, or providing information for diagnosis.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device does not fit that description.

Dear Mr. Trinter:

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.

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.
