Intended Use
Labtician Lid Load Gold Eyelid Weight Implants, surgically implanted in the upper eyelid, work by gravity to restore a functional blink mechanism in the patient with lagophthalmos resulting from temporary or permanent facial paralysis, specifically the orbicularis oculi muscle. This paralysis may be the result of Bell's palsy or from surgical trauma to the facial nerve. Functional defects which may be corrected or avoided with the use of Labtician lid Load Gold Eyelid Weight Implants include inadequate eyelid closure, corneal exposure, serious keratopathy such as ocular irritation, keratitis, corneal abrasion or ulceration. These conditions may result in decreased vision.
Device Description
The Labtician Lid Load Gold Eyelid Weight Implants are spherically radiused strips of pure gold (99.99%), constructed in twelve sizes ranging from 0.6 grams to 2.8 grams in 0.2 gram increments. All product specifications are substantially equivalent to the predicate device, the Series 3000 Gold Evelid Implant, produced by MedDev Corporation, with the exception that Labtician Lid Load Gold Eyelid Weight Implants are supplied sterile, whereas the predicate device is supplied nonsterile and designed to be sterilized prior to surgery by the end user. Labtician Lid Load Gold Evelid Weight Implants are constructed of pure gold (99.99%). The weights are designed in a rectangular shape with a spherical radius of curvature of 12.7 mm which conforms to the shape of the eye. All edges are smoothly rounded. Suture holes are placed in the implant to allow the surgeon to secure it to the tarsus or orbital septum.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description focuses on the material and physical properties of a gold implant, and there is no mention of software, algorithms, or any form of data processing that would suggest AI/ML.

Yes
The device is surgically implanted to restore a functional blink mechanism and correct or avoid functional defects such as inadequate eyelid closure and corneal exposure, which are therapeutic interventions.

No

The device is a surgically implanted eyelid weight designed to restore a functional blink mechanism in patients with lagophthalmos, which is a treatment for a functional defect rather than a tool for diagnosis.

No

The device is a physical implant made of gold, not software.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. These tests are performed outside the body (in vitro).
  • Device Function: The Labtician Lid Load Gold Eyelid Weight Implant is a surgically implanted device. It works by gravity to physically restore a functional blink mechanism. It does not perform any tests on bodily samples.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to correct functional defects related to eyelid closure due to facial paralysis, not to diagnose or monitor a condition through laboratory testing.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the Labtician Lid Load Gold Eyelid Weight Implant is a surgical implant, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

Labtician Lid Load Gold Eyelid Weight Implants, surgically implanted in the upper eyelid, work by gravity to restore a functional blink mechanism in the patient with lagophthalmos resulting from temporary or permanent facial paralysis, specifically the orbicularis oculi muscle. This paralysis may be the result of Bell's palsy or from surgical trauma to the facial nerve.

Functional defects which may be corrected or avoided with the use of Labtician lid Load Gold Eyelid Weight Implants include inadequate eyelid closure, corneal exposure, serious keratopathy such as ocular irritation, keratitis, corneal abrasion or ulceration. These conditions may result in decreased vision.

The patient with lagophthalmos is unable to close the eyelid completely because of partial or complete paralysis to the facial nerve. This paralysis may be the result of Bell's palsy or from surgical trauma to the facial nerve. The condition of paralysis can be either permanent or transient.

§ 886.5700 Eyelid weight.

(a)
Identification. An eyelid weight is a prescription device made of gold, tantalum, platinum, iridium, or surgical grade stainless steel that is rectangular in shape and contoured to the shape of the eye. The device is intended for the gravity assisted treatment of lagophthalmos (incomplete eyelid closure).(1) The external eyelid weight is adhered to the outer skin of the upper eyelid.
(2) The implantable eyelid weight is implanted into the upper eyelid.
(b)
Classification. (1) Class II (special controls) for the external eyelid weight. The external eyelid weight is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 886.9. The special controls for the external eyelid weight are:(i) Testing demonstrating the biocompatibility of the device; and
(ii) Labeling must include the following information:
(A) Specific instructions regarding the proper placement, sizing, and removal of the device; and
(B) A warning stating that the patient should be instructed to remove the device prior to entering a magnetic resonance environment.
(2) Class II (special controls) for the implantable eyelid weight. The special controls for the implantable eyelid weight are:
(i) Testing demonstrating the biocompatibility of the device;
(ii) Testing demonstrating the sterility and shelf life of the device;
(iii) Nonclinical testing evaluating the compatibility of the device in a magnetic resonance environment.
(iv) Patient labeling to convey information regarding the safety and compatibility of the device in a magnetic resonance environment, the conditions under which a patient with the device can be safely scanned, and a mechanism for a healthcare provider to obtain detailed information about magnetic resonance safety and compatibility if needed.
