The summary describes a physical silicone implant and makes no mention of software, algorithms, or any technology related to AI or ML.
Yes
The device is described as an elastomer shape intended for reconstruction and surgical repair procedures, including use as temporary stents for tendon sheath formation, which aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device designed to treat or alleviate a medical condition.
No
Explanation: The device is described as an elastomer shape intended for reconstruction and surgical repair procedures, such as temporary stents or other surgical repairs. It is not mentioned as diagnosing any condition.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a "silicon elastomer shape," indicating a physical, hardware component.
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 taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
- Device Description and Intended Use: The description clearly states that the Sil-Tec Medical Grade Oval Shape is a "soft, radiopaque silicon elastomer shape intended for reconstruction and surgical repair procedures." It is used within the body during surgery, not on samples taken from the body.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any analysis of biological samples, detection of biomarkers, or diagnostic purposes.
Therefore, this device falls under the category of a surgical implant or medical device used in surgical procedures, not an in vitro diagnostic.

§ 888.3025 Passive tendon prosthesis.
(a)
Identification. A passive tendon prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted made of silicon elastomer or a polyester reinforced medical grade silicone elastomer intended for use in the surgical reconstruction of a flexor tendon of the hand. The device is implanted for a period of 2 to 6 months to aid growth of a new tendon sheath. The device is not intended as a permanent implant nor to function as a replacement for the ligament or tendon nor to function as a scaffold for soft tissue ingrowth.(b)
Classification. Class II.

Re: K973385 Trade Name: SilTec™ Oval Shapes Regulatory Class: II Product Code: HXA Dated: August 20, 1997 Received: September 8, 1997
Dear Mr. Thompson:
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.
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 vour 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).
