The device is a simple ophthalmic sponge with no mention of any computational or analytical capabilities.
No
The device is described as an ophthalmic sponge used to absorb fluids during surgical procedures, which is a supportive function and does not directly treat or prevent a medical condition.
No
Explanation: The device is an ophthalmic sponge used to absorb fluids during surgical procedures. Its purpose is to assist in surgery, not to diagnose medical conditions or provide diagnostic information. The performance studies listed are for biocompatibility, not diagnostic accuracy.
No
The device is a physical ophthalmic sponge made of cellulosic and synthetic fibers, 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 "absorb fluids from the surgical area during ophthalmic procedures." This is a physical function performed in vivo (on a living organism) during surgery.
- Device Description: The description details a physical sponge made of fibers, designed for absorption.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information about a patient's health status, diagnose conditions, or monitor treatment. This device does not perform any such analysis or testing of biological samples.
- Anatomical Site: The device is used directly on the "Ophthalmic" anatomical site during a procedure.
Therefore, this device is a surgical accessory used during ophthalmic procedures, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

Dear Ms. Fremstad:
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 legally marketed predicate 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 requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic OS 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.
