More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and intended use are purely mechanical, and there are no mentions of AI, ML, image processing, or data sets typically associated with AI/ML devices.

No
The device is described as an "Introducer Sheath" used to create a channel for accessing the ventricular system, which is an accessory function for a procedure, not a direct therapeutic action itself.

No
The device description states its use is to "make a channel through the brain into the ventricular system" and provide "atraumatic passage," indicating it is an interventional or surgical tool for accessing an anatomical site, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it includes a peelaway sheath and a blunt ended obturator, which are physical hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Function: The description clearly states the device is used to "make a channel through the brain into the ventricular system." This is a surgical or interventional procedure performed on the body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples.
    • Detecting analytes (substances in the body).
    • Providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.

This device is a surgical instrument used for accessing a specific anatomical site within the brain.

Dear Mr. Henderson:

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 (OS) 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.
