No
The document describes a physical implantable material (nylon foil sheets) and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing capabilities that would indicate the use of AI or ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" field is explicitly marked as "Not Found".
Yes
The device is intended for various surgical repairs and procedures, such as orbital floor blow-out fractures, tympanoplasty, separating nerves and tendons, repairing dura mater, and strengthening bones, all of which are considered therapeutic interventions.
No.
The device is described as an implantable material for plastic and reconstructive surgery to repair or support tissues, not to diagnose a condition.
No
The device description and intended use clearly indicate a physical product (nylon foil sheets) used in surgical procedures, not a software application.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples such as blood, urine, or tissue taken from the human body to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Description and Intended Use: The description and intended use clearly state that the device is a sterile nylon foil sheet used surgically for plastic and reconstructive surgery, including repair of orbital floor fractures, tympanoplasty, separating nerves and tendons, repairing dura matter, and strengthening bones. These are all in vivo applications, meaning they are used within the living body.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to test samples from the body, analyze biological markers, or provide diagnostic information based on laboratory analysis.
Therefore, the Sterile SupraFOIL Smooth Nylon Foil Sheets are a surgical implant/device, not an in vitro diagnostic.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The indications for use for sterile SupraFOIL Smooth Nylon Foil Sheets are consistent with the indications for use approved by the August 16, 1983 approval letter, Ref. K831725, for nylon foil in three forms, namely, non-sterile nylon sheets, sterile textured nylon foil, and sterile nylon pre-punched foil, as: "The Foil is intended for use by surgeons only where indicated for plastic and reconstructive surgery. The most widespread and standard use presently is for repair of orbital floor blow-out fractures in the eye. Its use is detailed in articles by Orkan Stasior, M.D., Merrill J. Reeh and James Tsujimura, M.D., J. Emery, M.D., G. von Noorden, M.D., and Donald Schlernitzauer, M.D. The foil is also used in Tympanoplasty in the middle ear as reference in...(the) article by James L. Sheehy, M.D. It has also been used to separate nerves and tendons from surrounding tissue to prevent adhesions during healing and then removed after healing is complete. It has been used to repair or replace dura matter in the skull, and in heavier thicknesses it has been attched to bones to give added strength where necessary."

Dear Mr. Jackson:
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 (OS) 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.
