No
The summary does not mention AI, ML, or any related terms or concepts like image processing, training sets, or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML devices.

No
The device is indicated for continuous intracranial pressure monitoring, which is a diagnostic or monitoring function, not a therapeutic one. Therapeutic devices are used for treatment.

No

Explanation: The device is described as a "Parenchymal Bolt Pressure Monitoring Kit" that is used for "continuous intracranial pressure monitoring". Monitoring is a form of measurement, not diagnosis. While the data collected might be used in a diagnostic process, the device itself performs monitoring, not diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly states "Parenchymal Bolt Pressure Monitoring Kit," implying a hardware component (the bolt) is part of the system, not just software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "continuous intracranial pressure monitoring" on patients. This is a direct measurement of a physiological parameter within the body, not an analysis of a sample taken from the body (like blood, urine, or tissue).
  • Device Description: The device is a "Parenchymal Bolt Pressure Monitoring Kit." This description aligns with a device used for direct physiological measurement.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: There is no mention of analyzing samples, reagents, or any other elements typically associated with in vitro diagnostics.

IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. This device directly measures a physiological pressure within the body.

Re: K981846 Trade Name: Parenchymal Bolt Pressure Monitoring Kit Regulatory Class: II Product Code: GWM Dated: May 22, 1998 Received: May 26, 1998

Dear Ms. Fleming:

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 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 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.
