No
The 510(k) summary describes a physical needle for injecting anesthetic and contains no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data sets typically associated with AI/ML devices.

Yes
The device is used to inject anesthetic, which is a medical treatment aimed at alleviating pain or facilitating procedures, thus serving a therapeutic purpose.

No
The device is described as a needle used to inject anesthetic, which is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "Worldwide Medical Technologies Intracervical Block Needle," which is a physical medical 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 "inject anesthetic in the cervical area." This describes a procedure performed on the patient's body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is a "needle," which is a tool for delivering substances into the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (like blood, urine, tissue), using reagents, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or screening purposes. This device's function is purely therapeutic (delivering anesthetic).

Dated: June 12, 1998 Received: June 15, 1998 Regulatory Class: II 21 CFR 880.5570/Procode: 80 FMI 21 CFR 884.5100/Procode: 85 HEE

Dear Mr. Lamoureux:

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 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.

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). Other general information on your responsibilities under the Act may be obtained from the Division of Small Manufacturers Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597 or at its Internet address "http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsmaldsmamain.html".

Sincerely yours.
