Intended Use

The Reperen® Surgical Mesh is indicated for use in the reconstruction of hernias, soft tissue deficiencies and temporary bridging of fascial defects. It is not intended to be used for the reconstruction of cardiovascular defects.

Device Description

The Reperen® Surgical Mesh is made from a biocompatible, hydrophobic acrylic polymer. The implant has two distinct layers: 1st layer is a smooth transparent film of spatially cross-linked acrylic polymer with polyamide mesh embedded inside. The 2nd layer is a mesh of spatially cross-linked acrylic polymer, interconnected forming the rough surface. The thickness of the reinforcing layer (in the total thickness of the Reperen® Surgical Mesh) is 0.1 + 0.05 mm. The roughness of the parietal layer for Reperen® Surgical Mesh (all sizes) is about 100 um.

The Reperen® Surgical Mesh is available in six different sizes as described in the table below.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) summary for the Reperen® Surgical Mesh, a medical device. This type of submission is for demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device, not for proving a device meets specific acceptance criteria based on a clinical study where "performance" is measured in terms of diagnostic accuracy or similar metrics for AI/software devices.

Therefore, the typical questions regarding AI/software device performance, such as sample size for test sets, data provenance, number of experts for ground truth, adjudication methods, MRMC studies, standalone performance, and training set details, are not applicable to this document.

This document describes a surgical mesh, which is a physical implant, and its performance is evaluated through physical and biological testing, as well as an animal study, to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a predicate device.

Here's an analysis of the available information in the context of device acceptance, though it won't perfectly fit the requested AI/software performance criteria:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

The device (Reperen® Surgical Mesh) was subjected to performance and biocompatibility testing and an in vivo animal study to determine its substantial equivalence to a predicate device, GORE® DUALMESH® BIOMATERIAL (K992189). The document states that the device "met all specified design and performance requirements."

Since this is a 510(k) summary for a physical mesh, the "acceptance criteria" are related to physical properties and biocompatibility, not diagnostic performance. The document doesn't explicitly list numerical acceptance criteria with corresponding performance values but states compliance.

Acceptance Criteria (Type of Test)Reported Device Performance
Performance Testing:
Mesh ThicknessMet specified design requirements
Mesh DensityMet specified design requirements
Suture Retention StrengthMet specified design requirements
Tear ResistanceMet specified design requirements
Uniaxial Tensile StressMet specified design requirements
Ball Burst TestingMet specified design requirements
Mesh StiffnessMet specified design requirements
Biocompatibility Testing (per ISO 10993-1):
CytotoxicityMet specified design requirements
SensitizationMet specified design requirements
Irritation or Intracutaneous reactivityMet specified design requirements
Systemic toxicity (acute)Met specified design requirements
Subchronic ToxicityMet specified design requirements
GenotoxicityMet specified design requirements
Implantation (with histology)Met specified design requirements
HemolysisMet specified design requirements
PyrogenicityMet specified design requirements
Chemical Characterization StudiesMet specified design requirements
Animal StudiesPerformance substantially equivalent to predicate device (mechanical strength, tissue response, clinical efficacy)

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

  • Test Set (for physical/biocompatibility testing): Not specified in terms of numerical sample sizes for each test, but standard test methods would dictate appropriate sample numbers. The tests are laboratory-based, not patient data-based.
  • Test Set (for animal study): Described as "In vivo porcine studies." The exact number of animals is not specified in this summary.
  • Data Provenance: The physical and biocompatibility testing were laboratory-based. The animal study involved "porcine" (pig) models. This is prospective experimental data.

3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts

This concept is not applicable as this is not a diagnostic device or AI software. "Ground truth" for a physical device like a surgical mesh is established by standardized physical measurements, chemical analyses, and histopathological evaluations, not expert consensus on medical images or patient outcomes.

4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

Not applicable for this type of device and testing.

5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done, If So, What Was the Effect Size of How Much Human Readers Improve with AI vs Without AI Assistance

Not applicable. This is not an AI or diagnostic imaging device.

6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done

Not applicable. This is not an AI algorithm.

7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

For the performance testing, the "ground truth" is derived from standardized physical and mechanical measurements against predefined specifications (e.g., thickness, tensile strength limits). For biocompatibility, it's defined by biological responses within acceptable limits according to ISO 10993 standards and histopathological findings in the animal study.

8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

Not applicable. This is not an AI/machine learning device that requires a training set.

9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

Not applicable.

Animal Studies

In vivo porcine studies were performed to characterize the mechanical strength, tissue response and clinical efficacy in comparison to the predicate device. The results demonstrate that the Reperen® Surgical Mesh performance is substantially equivalent to the predicate.

Voluntary Safety and International Agency Standards:

The following voluntary and international agency standards and guidelines were reviewed and are followed in the development of the Reperen® Surgical Mesh to ensure its safety and suitability for its intended use:

  • ISO 11135 Second Edition 2014, Sterilization of health care products -- Ethylene oxide --. Part 1: Requirements for development, validation and routine control of a sterilization process for medical devices.
  • . AAMI / ANSI / ISO 10993-7:2008(R) 2012, Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices -Part 7: Ethylene Oxide Sterilization Residuals.
  • ISO 10993-1:2009, Biological evaluation of medical devices -- Part 1: Evaluation and ● testing within a risk management process.

Substantial Equivalence: The technological differences between the Reperen® Surgical Mesh and the predicate device, GORE® DUALMESH® BIOMATERIAL (K992189) do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness.

Conclusion:

Information in the 510(k) submission demonstrates that the Reperen® Surgical Mesh is substantially equivalent to its predicate device.
