No
The summary describes a physical kit for wound care and does not mention any software, image processing, or AI/ML terms.

No
The Pin Care Kit is a cleaning and protection system for pin site wounds, which is a supportive care product rather than a device intended to treat or prevent a disease or condition.

No

The device is intended for cleaning and protection of pin site wounds, which is a treatment/management function, not a diagnostic one. It helps patients manage their wounds, not identify a disease or condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "comprehensive system" and mentions a "Pin Care Kit," which strongly implies the inclusion of physical components (e.g., cleaning supplies, dressings) in addition to any potential software elements. The intended use also describes a physical process ("cleaning and protection of pin site wounds").

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for cleaning and protection of pin site wounds, which are external wounds on the body. This is a direct interaction with the patient's body and not the examination of specimens derived from the human body.
  • Device Description: The description focuses on managing pin site wounds at home, again indicating a direct patient care application.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on specimens taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The Pin Care Kit's function falls under wound care and management, not in vitro diagnostics.

Re: K973299 Trade Name: Pin Care Kit Regulatory Class: Unclassified Product Code: EFO Dated: August 27, 1997 Received: September 2, 1997

Dear Mr. Petrosenko:

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 (the Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of Act. However, you are responsible to determine that the medical devices you use as components in the kit have either been determined as substantially equivalent under the premarket notification process (Section 510(k) of the act), or were on the market prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments. Please note: If you purchase your device components in bulk (i.e., unfinished) and further process (e.g., sterilize) you must submit a new 510(k) before including these components in your kit. 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 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 Good Manufacturing Practice for Medical Devices: General (GMP) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic GMP inspections, FDA will verify such assumptions. Failure to

comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, the Food and Drug Administration (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.

In addition, we have determined that your device kit contains Sterile Water for Irrigation which is subject to regulation as a drug. Our substantially equivalent determination does not apply to the drug component of your device. We recommend you first contact the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research before marketing your device with the drug component. For information on applicable Agency requirements for marketing this drug, we suggest you contact:

Director. Division of Drug Labeling Compliance (HFD-310) Center for Drug Evaluation and Research Food and Drug Administration 5600 Fishers Lane Rockville, Maryland 20857 (301) 594-0063

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 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).
