More Information

Not Found

None

No
The summary describes a surgical knife and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

Yes
The device is intended to treat medical conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, plantar fasciitis, and compartment syndrome, indicating its use for therapeutic purposes.

No
The device is described as an "Endoscopic Knife" intended for surgical release procedures, such as carpal tunnel release or fasciotomy. Its purpose is to treat conditions rather than diagnose them.

No

The device description explicitly states "Mountable Endoscopic Knife," indicating a physical hardware component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use/Indications for Use: The intended uses listed (carpal tunnel release, plantar fasciotomy, etc.) are all surgical procedures performed directly on the patient's body. IVDs are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the body to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description: A "Mountable Endoscopic Knife" is a surgical instrument used for cutting tissue during an endoscopic procedure. This is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples.
    • Providing diagnostic information based on the analysis of those samples.
    • Reagents, calibrators, or controls.

Therefore, this device is a surgical instrument used for therapeutic purposes, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Mr. King:

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.
