No
The summary describes a mechanical clamp for reattaching bone and contains no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML devices.

No
Explanation: This device is for reattaching a cranial bone flap, which is a structural repair, not a therapeutic treatment for a disease or condition.

No
Explanation: The device description states its purpose is to "reattach a cranial bone flap to the surrounding Cranium after a craniotomy procedure," which is a therapeutic or surgical function, not a diagnostic one. It does not mention identifying diseases or conditions.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical clamp made of discs and a shaft, indicating it is a hardware device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. These tests are performed outside of the body.
  • Device Function: The Synthes Cranial Flap Tube Clamp is a surgical implant used to physically reattach a bone flap to the skull during a surgical procedure. It does not perform any tests on bodily samples.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for reattaching a cranial bone flap after a craniotomy. This is a surgical function, not a diagnostic one.

The information provided about the device's function, intended use, and anatomical site all point to it being a surgical implant, not an IVD.

Dear Ms. Musgnung:

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 (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.
