No
The summary describes a pneumatic lithotripter probe, a mechanical device for breaking stones. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data sets typically associated with AI/ML applications.

Yes
The device is described as "An endoscopic intracorporeal pneumatic lithotripter probe for use in fragmenting urinary calculi...". Lithotripsy is a medical procedure used to break up stones, which makes this a therapeutic device.

No

Explanation: The device is described as an endoscopic intracorporeal pneumatic lithotripter probe used for fragmenting urinary calculi, which indicates a therapeutic or interventional function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "probe," which is a physical hardware component used in medical procedures. The intended use also describes a physical action ("fragmenting urinary calculi") performed by this probe.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. These tests are performed outside of the body.
  • Device Function: The description clearly states the device is an "endoscopic intracorporeal pneumatic lithotripter probe" used for "fragmenting urinary calculi... through rigid, semi-rigid and flexible endoscopes." This means the device is used inside the body (intracorporeal) to physically break up stones.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any testing of samples, analysis of biological markers, or any other activity typically associated with IVDs.

Therefore, this device is a therapeutic device used for a medical procedure, not an in vitro diagnostic test.

§ 876.4480 Electrohydraulic lithotriptor.

(a)
Identification. An electrohydraulic lithotriptor is an AC-powered device used to fragment urinary bladder stones. It consists of a high voltage source connected by a cable to a bipolar electrode that is introduced into the urinary bladder through a cystoscope. The electrode is held against the stone in a water-filled bladder and repeated electrical discharges between the two poles of the electrode cause electrohydraulic shock waves which disintegrate the stone.(b)
Classification. Class II. The special control for this device is FDA's “Guidance for the Content of Premarket Notifications for Intracorporeal Lithotripters.”

Dear Ms. Holloway:

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 interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, 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 misbraning and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either 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 requirement, 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 does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under 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.
