The device description and performance studies focus on the physical properties and USP compliance of surgical sutures, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.
No.
The device is a surgical suture used for approximation and ligation of tissues, which is a structural aid, not a therapeutic agent that treats or cures a disease.
No
The device is a surgical suture used for approximation and/ligation, which is a treatment modality, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description clearly states it is a physical suture made of braided silk, coated with wax, dyed black, and attached to stainless steel needles. This is a hardware medical device, not software.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for "general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation," which are surgical procedures performed on the body.
- Device Description: The description details a surgical suture, a physical device used to close wounds or tie off blood vessels.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD is a medical device used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This device does not perform any such testing.
The information provided describes a surgical suture, which is a Class II medical device used in surgical procedures.

§ 878.5030 Natural nonabsorbable silk surgical suture.
(a)
Identification. Natural nonabsorbable silk surgical suture is a nonabsorbable, sterile, flexible multifilament thread composed of an organic protein called fibroin. This protein is derived from the domesticated speciesBombyx mori (B. mori ) of the familyBombycidae. Natural nonabsorbable silk surgical suture is indicated for use in soft tissue approximation. Natural nonabsorbable silk surgical suture meets the United States Pharmacopeia (U.S.P.) monograph requirements for Nonabsorbable Surgical Suture (class I). Natural nonabsorbable silk surgical suture may be braided or twisted; it may be provided uncoated or coated; and it may be undyed or dyed with an FDA listed color additive.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The special control for this device is FDA's “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Surgical Sutures; Guidance for Industry and FDA.” See § 878.1(e) for the availability of this guidance document.
