Yes
The device name "ML Microkeratome" explicitly includes "ML", which is a common abbreviation for Machine Learning.

Yes
The device is used to perform a lamellar keratoplasty procedure, which is a surgical intervention to treat the cornea, thus making it a therapeutic device.

No
The text states that the ML Microkeratome "is used to perform lamellar keratoplasty procedures," which are surgical procedures. It describes the device's function in creating a "thin circular corneal cap" for such procedures. This indicates a therapeutic or surgical function rather than a diagnostic one.

No

The device is described as a "ML Microkeratome," which is a surgical instrument used to cut a thin layer of the cornea. This description strongly indicates a physical hardware device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to perform a surgical procedure (lamellar keratoplasty) on a patient's cornea. This is a direct intervention on the body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue), detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of diseases or conditions. The ML Microkeratome is a surgical instrument used during a treatment procedure.

No
The provided text does not contain any language indicating that the FDA has reviewed and approved or cleared a Predetermined Change Control Plan (PCCP) for this specific device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

The ML Microkeratome is used to perform lamellar keratoplasty procedures. This procedure is no I he ML MICrokeratome is used to perform athin circular corneal cap.

Dear Ms. Ross :

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 .
