No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical function of a titanium clip for occlusion, with no mention of AI/ML, image processing, or data-driven performance metrics.

Yes
The device is intended for the "Temporary or Permanent Occlusion of Blood Vessels," which is a direct therapeutic intervention to control bleeding or stop blood flow.

No
Explanation: The device description states its purpose is to "occlude an intracranial blood vessel, stop bleeding, or hold tissue or mechanical device in place in a patient." This indicates a therapeutic function (treatment), not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "Bent titanium wire," indicating a physical hardware component.

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) outside of the body to provide information about a person's health. This device is a physical implant used inside the body to occlude blood vessels.
  • The description clearly states the device is a "Bent titanium wire that is forcibly closed to occlude an intracranial blood vessel... in a patient." This is a surgical implant, not a diagnostic tool that analyzes samples.
  • The intended use is "Temporary or Permanent Occlusion of Blood Vessels." This is a therapeutic or interventional use, not a diagnostic one.

The information provided describes a surgical clip used for hemostasis (stopping bleeding) or securing tissue/devices within the body. This falls under the category of a surgical implant or device, not an in vitro diagnostic.

Dear Mr. Johnston:

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.
