No
The 510(k) summary describes a topical silicone gel for scar management and contains no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology typically associated with AI/ML in medical devices.

Yes.
The device is used for the topical management of hypertrophic and keloid scars and may also be used prophylactically to help retard the formation of such scars, indicating a therapeutic purpose.

No
The device description indicates its use for "topical management of hypertrophic and keloid scars" and "prophylactically to help retard the formation of such scars," which are therapeutic or preventative actions, not diagnostic.

No

The device description explicitly states it is manufactured out of medical grade, biocompatible silicone material, indicating it is a physical product, not software only.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the topical management and prevention of hypertrophic and keloid scars. This is a therapeutic and prophylactic use applied to the skin, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The device is a silicone gel applied to intact skin. This aligns with a topical treatment, not an in vitro diagnostic test.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in samples
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening

Therefore, Spectragel is a medical device intended for topical treatment and prevention of scars, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Mr. Dishman:

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 Ouality System Regulation (OS) 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.
