No
The summary describes a surgical handpiece accessory (Hudson Chuck) for cutting tissue and holding cranial perforators. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data-driven performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML devices.

No
The device is described as a surgical tool used to cut tissue and hold other instruments, which is an operative function, not a therapeutic one intended to treat a disease or disorder.

No

Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" states that the device is "For use during surgical procedures to cut hard tissue, bone and soft tissue and to hold cranial perforators." This describes an interventional or surgical tool, not a device used to diagnose a medical condition.

No

The device description explicitly states "Hudson Chuck for Mednext TRITON Handpiece," which are hardware components used in surgical procedures. The summary does not mention any software functionality.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for use during surgical procedures to cut tissue and hold surgical tools. This is an in vivo (within a living organism) application, not an in vitro (outside of a living organism) diagnostic test.
  • Device Description: The description of a "Hudson Chuck for Mednext TRITON Handpiece" further supports its use as a surgical instrument.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a surgical instrument, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Dear Dr. Willason:

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.

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.
