No
The provided 510(k) summary contains no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other indicators of AI/ML technology. The device description is also missing, which would be a key place to describe such features.

No.
The device is designed to produce a corneal flap, which is typically a preparatory step for other procedures (e.g., refractive surgery) rather than a direct therapeutic intervention to treat a disease or condition itself.

No
The device is described as a "Keratome System" designed to "produce a corneal flap," which indicates a surgical or treatment function rather than a diagnostic one.

No

The device is described as a "Keratome System," which is a surgical instrument used to create corneal flaps. This description strongly implies a physical, hardware-based device, not a software-only one. The lack of a device description or mention of software components further supports this conclusion.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "to produce a corneal flap." This is a surgical procedure performed directly on a patient's body (in vivo).
  • Anatomical Site: The anatomical site is "corneal," which is part of the eye, a living tissue.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) outside the body.
    • Providing diagnostic information based on the analysis of these samples.
    • Mentioning any reagents, assays, or laboratory procedures.

IVDs are devices used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. The K3000 Keratome System is a surgical instrument used for a procedure on the body itself.

Dear Mr. Vassallo :

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 requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (OS) 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 .
