No
The device is a radiopaque additive for a bone cement, intended for imaging purposes. There is no mention of AI/ML in the description, intended use, or performance studies.

No
The device is described as an additive to provide radiopacity for imaging purposes, not to treat a medical condition.

No
The device is an additive to provide radiopacity for imaging purposes, not to diagnose a condition. It facilitates imaging for diagnosis but does not perform the diagnosis itself.

No

The device is described as "Radiopaque Particles," which are a physical substance intended to be added to another material. This clearly indicates a hardware component, not a software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to provide radiopacity for imaging purposes when added to a cranioplastic material. This is a function related to imaging and visualization within the body, not for testing samples of human origin in vitro (outside the body) to provide information about a physiological state, health, or disease.
  • Device Description: The device is described as "Radiopaque Particles," which are physical particles added to another material. This doesn't align with the typical nature of IVD devices, which are often reagents, kits, or instruments used for testing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description lacks any mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on in vitro testing.

Therefore, the Parallax™ Tracer Radiopaque Particles are intended for use as an imaging aid within a medical device (cranioplastic material) and do not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Dear Ms. Marques:

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 control provisions of the Act. The general control 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 (QS) 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.

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