The provided 510(k) summary describes a kit for administering epidural and spinal anesthesia and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.
No
The device is described as an epidural anesthesia administration kit, which is used to deliver medication rather than directly treat a disease or condition. While anesthesia is part of medical treatment, the device itself is a delivery system, not a therapeutic agent.
No
The device is described as an "administration of epidural anesthesia" kit, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function.
No
The device description is not found, but the intended use clearly describes a "kit" containing physical components like needles and catheters for administering epidural anesthesia. This indicates a hardware-based medical device, not a software-only one.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a device used for administering anesthesia directly to the patient's body (epidural and spinal spaces). This is a therapeutic and procedural use, not a diagnostic test performed on samples outside the body.
- Device Description (Not Found): While the description is missing, the intended use is the primary indicator of whether a device is an IVD.
- Other Sections: The absence of information about image processing, AI/ML, imaging modalities, training/test sets, performance studies, and key metrics further supports that this is not a diagnostic device. These sections are typically present for devices that perform analysis or diagnosis.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device is used for direct intervention and administration of medication within the body.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
- The MEDIMEX Epistar CSE kit is intended for administration of epidural anesthesia that may be combined with a spinal aneshetic. The MEDIMEX Epistar CSE kit is intended for single epidural infections for use epidural anesthesia or for introduction of the MEDIMEX catheter in the CSE Kit for continuous catheterization duration of up to 72 hours. The CSE epidural needle is also intended to allow passage of a pencil point-spinal needle into the intratesal space to provide anesthesia immediately before or after placement of the epidural needle, is intended only to provide collection of the epidural space for up to 72 hours.

Dear Mr. Grabarz:
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 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). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. However, you are responsible to determine that the medical devices you use as components in the kit have either been determined as substantially equivalent under the premarket notification process (Section 510(k) of the act), or were legally on the market prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments. Please note: If you purchase your device components in bulk (i.e., unfinished) and further process (e.g., sterilize) you must submit a new 510(k) before including these components in your kit. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, and labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
