Unknown

The provided 510(k) summary lacks a device description, making it impossible to determine if the device is software-only or includes hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended uses listed (Breast Reconstruction, Limb Reconstruction, Correction of Congenital Deformities, Cosmetic Defects, Scar Revision) are all related to surgical procedures and physical reconstruction. IVDs are used to examine specimens from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • No mention of biological specimens: There is no indication that this device interacts with or analyzes biological samples.
  • No mention of diagnostic purposes: The intended uses are therapeutic and reconstructive, not diagnostic.

Therefore, based on the provided text, this device falls outside the scope of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
