No
The provided text does not contain any mention of AI, ML, deep learning, or related concepts, nor does it describe functionalities typically associated with AI/ML in medical imaging (like automated analysis, detection, or prediction).

No
The LC positioner is described as an accessory to a fluoroscopic unit for imaging, indicating a diagnostic rather than therapeutic purpose.

No
The device is described as an "accessory to a fluoroscopic unit for imaging" the cardiovascular system. Its purpose is to position, not to diagnose. Diagnostic devices perform the imaging or analyze the images to make a diagnosis.

No

The summary describes a "positioner" used as an accessory to a fluoroscopic unit. This strongly implies a physical device used to position something, not a software-only product. The lack of any mention of software, algorithms, or data processing further supports this conclusion.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "as an accessory to a fluoroscopic unit for imaging the cardiovascular system." This describes a device used in vivo (within a living organism) for imaging, not a device used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens like blood, tissue, or urine.
  • Device Description: While "Not Found," the intended use clearly points to an imaging accessory.
  • Mentions image processing, AI, DNN, or ML: These are often associated with IVD devices that analyze images of specimens, but their absence here doesn't definitively rule out IVD. However, combined with the intended use, it further supports the conclusion.
  • Input Imaging Modality: Fluoroscopic is an in vivo imaging modality.
  • Anatomical Site: Cardiovascular system is an in vivo anatomical site.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens obtained from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device's function is to position for in vivo imaging.

§ 892.1650 Image-intensified fluoroscopic x-ray system.

(a)
Identification. An image-intensified fluoroscopic x-ray system is a device intended to visualize anatomical structures by converting a pattern of x-radiation into a visible image through electronic amplification. This generic type of device may include signal analysis and display equipment, patient and equipment supports, component parts, and accessories.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). An anthrogram tray or radiology dental tray intended for use with an image-intensified fluoroscopic x-ray system only is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 892.9. In addition, when intended as an accessory to the device described in paragraph (a) of this section, the fluoroscopic compression device is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 892.9.

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 probibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

Re:

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (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 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 your 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) 594-4613. 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).
