Not Found

No
The provided text describes a surgical device for ophthalmic procedures and does not mention any AI or ML capabilities, image processing, or data sets related to training or testing algorithms.

Yes
The device is used for surgical procedures to remove substances and treat conditions within the eye, which are therapeutic interventions.

Yes

The document explicitly states "Removal of samples of vitreous for diagnostic purposes, i.e. endophthalmitis," which indicates the device is used to obtain samples for diagnosis.

No

The 510(k) summary describes a device used in ophthalmic surgical procedures involving the removal of vitreous, lens remnants, and other surgical interventions. These procedures inherently require physical interaction with the eye, which is performed by hardware components (e.g., vitrectomy probes, irrigation/aspiration systems, illumination sources). The summary does not mention any software-only functionality or describe the device as being solely software. The listed intended uses are consistent with a physical surgical device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes the device's function in surgical procedures within the eye (ophthalmic surgery). It is used for removing vitreous, lens remnants, and providing illumination and air pressure during these procedures. While it mentions "Removal of samples of vitreous for diagnostic purposes," the device itself is performing the collection of the sample, not the diagnostic testing of the sample.
  • Device Description: Although the description is "Not Found," the intended use strongly indicates a surgical device.
  • Anatomical Site: The device is used on the ophthalmic (eye), which is a part of the human body, not a sample taken from the body for testing.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment. The Syntec VitMan is a surgical tool used on the body during a procedure.

Dear Easely :

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.
