No
The summary describes a physical implant (penile prosthesis) and contains no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data analysis that would suggest the use of such technologies.

Yes
The device is implanted to provide adequate penile rigidity for vaginal penetration in patients with erectile dysfunction, which is a therapeutic intervention.

No
The device, Virilis Penile Prostheses, is intended for implantation to provide penile rigidity for patients diagnosed with erectile dysfunction. It is a treatment device, not a diagnostic one. Its stated purpose is to provide "adequate penile rigidity for vaginal penetration," which is a functional outcome, not a diagnostic assessment.

No

The device description clearly states "Virilis Penile Prostheses," which are physical implants, 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 for implantation into the penis to treat erectile dysfunction. This is a surgical procedure performed on a living patient, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body (like blood, urine, or tissue).
  • Device Description: The device is a penile prosthesis, which is an implantable medical device.
  • 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 samples.
    • Using reagents or other materials to perform a test.

IVDs are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device is a therapeutic implant.

Dear Mr. Varner:

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 Requlations, 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.
