Not Found

No
The summary describes a mechanical access system for spinal procedures and contains no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML devices.

No
The device is described as an "Access System" used to "gain access and visualization to the spine" for procedures like discectomy and nucleotomy, but it does not directly perform a therapeutic function itself. It facilitates therapeutic procedures rather than being a therapeutic device.

No

The device is intended for "access and visualization to the spine" for "various endoscopic spinal procedures such as discectomy and nucleotomy," which are surgical procedures, not diagnostic ones. It functions as an access system, not a tool to identify or differentiate diseases or conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "family of devices" used to "gain access and visualization to the spine," implying physical components for surgical access and visualization, not just software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is used for "posterior endoscopic access to the lumbar spine for various endoscopic spinal procedures". This describes a surgical tool used on the patient's body to facilitate a procedure, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces this by stating it's used to "gain access and visualization to the spine". This is consistent with a surgical access system.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.

IVD devices are designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device is a surgical instrument used for access during a procedure.

Dear Ms. Finneran:

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 (OS) 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.
