No
The summary describes a mechanical implant and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.

Yes
The device is a medical implant used for temporary reconstruction after tumor surgery, which clearly serves a therapeutic purpose by restoring function and structure.

No
Explanation: The device is described as a surgical implant for temporary reconstruction following tumor surgery, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical implantable plate with a condylar head, screws, and features for contouring, indicating it is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • This device is a surgical implant (a plate with a condylar head) intended for temporary reconstruction within the human body. It is used during surgery to replace a removed part of the jawbone.

The description clearly indicates it's a physical device used in vivo (within the body) for structural support and reconstruction, not for analyzing biological samples.

Dear Ms. Silvestri:

This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of October 22, 1999.

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate 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) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). 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 (PMA), 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 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 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.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (240) 276-0115.
