No.
The device is used for augmentation or reconstruction of the chin, which is a structural or aesthetic purpose, not for treating a disease or condition.
No
Explanation: The device description clearly states that Seare Biomedical Chin Implants are used to "augment or reconstruct the chin or anterior mandibular contour." This is a therapeutic or reconstructive purpose, not a diagnostic one. Diagnostic devices are used to identify or detect a disease, condition, or anomaly, which is not the function of this implant.
No
The device description clearly states it is a silicone elastomer rubber implant, which is a physical hardware component, 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 "augment or reconstruct the chin or anterior mandibular contour." This describes a surgical implant used directly on the patient's body for structural purposes.
- Device Description: The description details a "silicone elastomer rubber implant" designed for implantation. This is a physical device placed within the body.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
IVDs are used in vitro (outside the body) to analyze biological samples. This device is used in vivo (inside the body) as a surgical implant.

Device Description
Seare Biomedical Chin Implants are crescent shaped concave convex silicone elastomer rubber implants made from specially formulated silicone elastomers designed for implantation. Surface characteristics will vary from smooth to varying degrees of texturing and porosity. The chin implant is used to augment or reconstruct the chin. It is placed over the anterior aspect of the mandible in the midline and placed under the periosteum. It is inserted via an intra-oral or submental incision according to the surgeon's preference. The Seare Biomedical Chins will be available in many sizes and styles, all of which are very similar differing only by a few millimeters in length and projection. The Seare Biomedical Chin Implants will be provided sterile and nonsterile.

Dear Dr. Seare:
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.
