Intended Use
Collagen Nerve Cuff is intended for use in repair of peripheral nerve discontinuities where gap closure can be achieved by flexion of the extremity.
Device Description
The Collagen Nerve Cuff is designed to be a flexible, resorbable and semipermeable tubular membrane matrix to provide a protective environment for peripheral nerve repair after injury and to create a conduit for axonal growth across a nerve gap.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a physical device (a collagen cuff) for nerve repair and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is intended for the repair of peripheral nerve discontinuities and facilitates axonal growth, demonstrating a therapeutic purpose.

No

Explanation: The device description states its purpose is to provide a protective environment and conduit for nerve repair and axonal growth, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "flexible, resorbable and semipermeable tubular membrane matrix," which is a physical, implantable device, not software.

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 repair of peripheral nerve discontinuities, which is a surgical procedure performed in vivo (within the body).
  • Device Description: The device is a physical implant (a tubular membrane matrix) designed to be placed within the body to facilitate nerve repair.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue samples, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVD devices are used in vitro (outside the body) to analyze biological samples. This device is clearly intended for in vivo use as a surgical implant.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

a. Animal Data
The animal studies over the past twenty years using nerve conduit have been reviewed and have demonstrated the efficacy of peripheral nerve repair using resorbable and nonresorbable biocompatible nerve conduits .

b. Summary of Clinical Data
The results reported in the literature demonstrated efficacy of peripheral nerve repair using resorbable and non-resorbable biocompatible nerve conduits.

c. Simulated Clinical Environment
The mechanical and physical characteristics of the Collagen Nerve Cuff were evaluated in simulated clinical environment studies. The results of the studies demonstrated that the Collagen Nerve Cuff has adequate mechanical and physical characteristics for peripheral nerve repair.

Summary of Biocompatibility Studies

The Collagen Nerve Cuff is biocompatible based on the test recommended by the FDA and meets the ISO 10993 requirements for biocompatibility testing.

Performance Characteristics

a. Animal Data

The animal studies over the past twenty years using nerve conduit have been reviewed and have demonstrated the efficacy of peripheral nerve repair using resorbable and nonresorbable biocompatible nerve conduits .

b. Summary of Clinical Data

The results reported in the literature demonstrated efficacy of peripheral nerve repair using resorbable and non-resorbable biocompatible nerve conduits.

c. Simulated Clinical Environment
