No
The summary describes a mechanical surgical clamp and contains no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data sets typically associated with AI/ML devices.

No
This device is a surgical clamp used during coronary bypass operations to isolate an area of the aortic wall, which is a procedural aid rather than a device that directly treats a medical condition or restores a bodily function.

No
The device is described as a clamp used for mechanical isolation during surgery, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states "Aortic Spoon Jaw Clamp," which is a physical, mechanical device used in surgery, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The Aortic Spoon Jaw Clamp is a surgical instrument used during a coronary bypass operation. Its purpose is to mechanically isolate a section of the aortic wall in vivo (within the living body) to facilitate the surgical procedure. It does not analyze samples taken from the body.

Therefore, the Aortic Spoon Jaw Clamp falls under the category of a surgical instrument or device used in vivo, not an in vitro diagnostic.

Dear Mr. Jones:

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. 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 requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General requlation (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 requlatory 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.
