The provided text describes a tissue expander, a physical medical device, and contains no mention of software, algorithms, image processing, AI, or ML.
Yes
The device is described as "aid[ing] in reconstruction following mastectomy," "aid[ing] in the treatment of underdeveloped breasts," and "aid[ing] in the treatment of soft tissue deformities," which indicates it is used for therapeutic purposes.
No
The device, Silimed Tissue Expanders, is described as being for "temporary subcutaneous implantation to develop surgical flaps and additional tissue coverage" for reconstructive purposes. This indicates a therapeutic or reconstructive function, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device is a tissue expander, which is a physical implant, not a software-only device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use describes the device as being for "temporary subcutaneous implantation to develop surgical flaps and additional tissue coverage". This is a surgical procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
The Silimed Tissue Expanders are implanted in the body, not used to test specimens from the body. Therefore, they do not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
Silimed Tissue Expanders are intended for temporary subcutaneous implantation to develop surgical flaps and additional tissue coverage required in a wide variety of applications, particularly to aid in reconstruction following mastectomy, to aid in the treatment of underdeveloped breasts, and to aid in the treatment of soft tissue deformities.

Re: K981852 Trade Name: Silimed Tissue Expander Regulatory Class: Unclassified Product Code: LCJ Dated: May 25, 1998 Received: May 26, 1998
Dear Mr. Smith:
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.
