More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical function and material properties of a titanium aneurysm clip, with no mention of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is intended for the permanent occlusion of cerebral aneurysms, which is a therapeutic intervention to treat a medical condition.

No
Explanation: This device is an aneurysm clip intended for permanent placement in the brain to occlude cerebral aneurysms. Its function is interventional/therapeutic (occlusion), not diagnostic.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "Bent titanium wire" and a "spring operated, self Closing aneurysm clip," indicating it is a physical hardware device intended for permanent placement in the brain.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside the body (in vitro).
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The description clearly states the device is a "Bent titanium wire which provides a spring operated, self Closing aneurysm clip" and its intended use is "Permanent placement in the brain for occlusion of cerebral aneurysms." This device is implanted inside the body to treat a medical condition.

Therefore, based on its function and intended use, this device is an implantable medical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

When used with the appropriate clip applier, as with the predicate device, the PSI Titanium Aneurysm Clip functions in the same manner as the predicate device in the occlusion of cerebral aneurysms. When used in the MRI environment, the device presents no additional risk to the patient or other personnel, is compatible with current diagnostic imaging equipment and provides substantially reduced image artifacts over cobalt-based predicate clips.

Device Trade Name:PSI Titanium Aneurysm Clip
Device Common Name:Aneurysm Clip
Classification Name:Aneurysm Clip, 21 CFR 882.5200
Predicate Device:Aesculap Titanium Aneurysm Clip (K983758)
Taka Aneurysm Clip (K972750)
Device Description:Bent titanium wire which provides a spring operated, self
Closing aneurysm clip of various lengths/sizes.
Intended Use:Placement in the intracranial space for the occlusion of a
cerebral aneurysm (a balloon like sac formed on a
blood vessel) to prevent it from bleeding or bursting.
Placement of the clip requires the use of especially
designed appliers
Technological Characteristics
And Comparison to PredicateThe PSI Titanium Aneurysm Clip is manufactured from
the same materials, to equivalent functional and
dimensional specifications as the predicate clips.
The material composition is titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V).
The alloy composition and properties conform with ISO
Standard 5832/3: "Implants for Surgery Metallinc
Materials - Part 3: WroughtTitanium 6 - Aluminum 4 -
Vanadium Alloy" and ASTM Standard F - 136:
"Specification for Wrought Titanium 6AL-4V ELI Alloy
for Surgical Applications". The PSI clips share similar
tolerances, manufacturing controls, packaging and
labeling as the predicate Taka clips.
Performance Data:When used with the appropriate clip applier, as with
the predicate device, the PSI Titanium Aneurysm Clip
functions in the same manner as the predicate device in
the occlusion of cerebral aneurysms. When used in
the MRI environment, the device presents no additional
risk to the patient or other personnel, is compatible with
current diagnostic imaging equipment and provides
substantially reduced image artifacts over cobalt-based
predicate clips.
Conclusion:The Titanium Aneurysm Clip is safe and effective for it's
intended use and meets all regulatory requirements to be
found substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
