Intended Use
The AMS Triangle™ Silicone-Coated Sling and Surgical Mesh is an implant that is intended for the treatment of urinary incontinence resulting from urethral hypermobility or ISD and for implantation to reinforce soft tissues where weakness exists in the urological, gynecological or gastroenterological anatomy. This includes, but is not limited to the following procedures: pubourethral support and bladder support, urethral and vaginal prolapse repair, colon and rectal prolapse repair, reconstruction of the pelvic floor and sacral-colposuspension.
Device Description
The AMS Triangle™ Siliconc-Coated Sling and Surgical Mesh is made of a The AMS THangle - Omeone with a thin layer of solid silicone elastomer. The polyester mesil that is obverted the Sling and Surgical Mesh is available in sizes AMO Triangle - Binoo.144 cm2, including 2 cm x 5 cm, 2 cm x 4 cm, 2 cm x 10 cm, 2 cm x 7 cm, 2 cm x 20 cm, 6 cm x 6cm and 12 cm x 12cm.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the material and physical characteristics of a surgical mesh and sling, with no mention of software, algorithms, or any AI/ML related terms.

Yes

The device is intended for the treatment of urinary incontinence and for reinforcing soft tissues, which are therapeutic uses.

No

The device is an implantable surgical mesh intended for the treatment of urinary incontinence and reinforcement of soft tissues, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "Silicone-Coated Sling and Surgical Mesh" made of polyester mesh and silicone elastomer, which are physical materials, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is an "implant that is intended for the treatment of urinary incontinence... and for implantation to reinforce soft tissues..." This describes a surgical implant used directly within the body for therapeutic purposes.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical mesh made of polyester and silicone, available in various sizes. This is a physical device, not a reagent, instrument, or system used to examine specimens from the human body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to test or analyze biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information about a person's health status.

IVD devices are used in vitro (outside the body) to diagnose, monitor, or screen for diseases or conditions by examining specimens. This device is used in vivo (inside the body) as a surgical implant.
