No
The summary describes a physical fiberoptic device for energy delivery and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

No.
The device description and intended use focus on surgical procedures like incision, excision, and coagulation, which are interventional actions rather than therapeutic in the sense of treating a disease or condition directly through therapeutic action. It is a tool for surgical procedures.

No

This device is described as an "energy delivery device" used for procedures like "incision, excision, resection, ablation, vaporization, coagulation and hemostasis." These are therapeutic or surgical actions, not diagnostic ones. There is no mention of it being used to gather information about a patient's condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "reusable fiberoptic energy delivery device" consisting of an "optical fiber" and potentially other physical components like a catheter, cannula, needle, handpiece, or handle. This indicates a physical hardware device, not software only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use describes surgical procedures performed directly on the body (incision, excision, resection, ablation, etc.). IVDs are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) outside the body to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description: The device is a fiberoptic energy delivery device used for surgical procedures. This is consistent with a surgical tool, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.

Therefore, the Resposable Holmium Bare Fibers are a surgical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

These devices are intended for use with any pulsed Holmium: YAG 2.1 micrometer laser (with compatible connector) for incision, excision, resection, ablation, vaporization, coagulation and hemostasis.

111. Predicate Device

The predicate devices are the Trimedyne Disposable Holmium Bare Fibers.

IV. Device Description

The Resposable Holmium Bare Fibers are reusable fiberoptic energy delivery devices. These devices consist of an optical fiber which may or may not be contained in a catheter tube, cannula, needle, handpiece or handle. The fibers range from 50 to 1000 microns core diameter and will be offered with various distal tip configurations.

V. Intended Use

These devices are intended for use with any pulsed Holmium: YAG 2.1 micrometer laser (with compatible connector) for incision, excision, resection, ablation, vaporization, coagulation and hemostasis.

Technological Characteristics VI.

The devices differ from their predicate devices due only to the incorporation of minor materials and configuration changes which allow for steam and EtO sterilization/reuse.

VII. Nonclinical Tests

No nonclinical test data were submitted in this Premarket Notification.

VIII. Clinical Tests

No clinical tests were submitted in this Premarket Notification.

Dear Ms. Gamble:

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

devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in 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) 594-4595. Additionally, for questions on the promotion 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).
