The summary describes a simple surgical sponge with no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data analysis.
No
The device is described as a surgical tool used to protect tissue and absorb fluids during surgery, indicating a supportive function rather than a therapeutic one (i.e., treating or curing a disease/condition).
No
The text indicates the device is an ophthalmic sponge drain used during surgery to protect tissue, absorb fluids, and act as a filter. It does not mention any diagnostic function such as detecting, diagnosing, or characterizing a disease or condition.
No
The 510(k) summary describes a physical ophthalmic sponge drain, which is a hardware device used during surgery. There is no mention of software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use describes the device being used during surgery to protect tissue, absorb fluids, and act as a filter for aspiration. This is a direct interaction with the patient's body during a medical procedure.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVDs are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information about a patient's health. The description of this device's function does not involve analyzing biological samples.
Therefore, this device falls under the category of a surgical instrument or accessory, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
Ophthalmic sponge drains are used during surgery to protect delica tissue from trauma, absorb fluids, and to act as a filter to aspirate.

Dear Mr. Korteweg:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the devices referenced above and we have determined the devices are 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 devices, 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 devices are classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), they may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your devices 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 devices in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submissions does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for
