No
The description focuses on a mechanical system using ultrasonic energy to secure sutures with a resorbable crimp. There is no mention of AI or ML in the device description, intended use, or performance studies.
No
The device aids in surgical procedures by securing sutures, which supports the body's natural healing process rather than directly treating a disease or condition.
No
The device is described as a system for approximating and securing soft tissue by ultrasonically welding a resorbable crimp to secure sutures, taking the place of tying knots. This is a therapeutic or surgical function, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description clearly outlines hardware components: a generator, a handpiece, and a resorbable crimp. It describes a physical process of ultrasonic welding to secure suture, which is a hardware-based function.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for "general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation" and "securing soft tissue in arthroscopic and open surgical procedures." This describes a surgical device used directly on a patient's tissue.
- Device Description: The description details a system that uses ultrasonic energy to weld a resorbable crimp to secure suture during surgery. This is a mechanical process performed during a surgical procedure.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue samples) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information about a patient's health status, diagnosis, or treatment.
IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the body to provide diagnostic or other health-related information. This device is a surgical tool used to physically manipulate and secure tissue during a procedure.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The intended use of the Multitak Suture Snap System is in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation. The system is indicated in securing soft tissue in arthroscopic and open surgical procedures where USP Size No. 2-0 through Size 2 nonabsorbable suture is used.

Device Description
The Multitak Suture Snap System is designed for approximating and securing soft tissue in arthroscopic and open surgical procedures. The resorbable poly-L securing our assue in tasonically welded to secure suture at the wound repair site and takes the place of tying arthroscopic and open surgical repair knots. The system consists of a generator that provides ultrasonic energy to a handpiece. The energy applied to the handpiece is used to ultrasonically weld a resorbable crimp and secure suture during general tissue wound repair. The resorbable poly-L-lactic acid crimp is gradually degraded into lactic acid and excreted as carbon dioxide and water.

Summary of Performance Studies
Performance testing comparing the mechanical strengths of knotted nonalsorbable braided polyester suture to the same type of suture secured with the Multitak Suture Snap 2 Resorbable Crimp was conducted to demonstrate substantial equivalence. Genzyme Surgical Products, Inc., nonabsorbable suture was used as the predicate comparison device. Results of bench testing and an in vitro degradation study demonstrated no statistical difference in suture secured with the resorbable crimp and knotted suture. The results demonstrate that the Multitak Suture Snap Resorbable Crimp provides an alternative means to tying surgical knots with nonabsorbable suture.

§ 878.4493 Absorbable poly(glycolide/l-lactide) surgical suture.
(a)
Identification. An absorbable poly(glycolide/l-lactide) surgical suture (PGL suture) is an absorbable sterile, flexible strand as prepared and synthesized from homopolymers of glycolide and copolymers made from 90 percent glycolide and 10 percent l-lactide, and is indicated for use in soft tissue approximation. A PGL suture meets United States Pharmacopeia (U.S.P.) requirements as described in the U.S.P. “Monograph for Absorbable Surgical Sutures;” it may be monofilament or multifilament (braided) in form; it may be uncoated or coated; and it may be undyed or dyed with an FDA-approved color additive. Also, the suture may be provided with or without a standard needle attached.(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.

Predicate Device(s): The Multitak Suture Snap System is similar in intended use and principle of operation to Axya Medical, Inc., Suture Welding System and Kit. Both systems principle of operation to secure suture without tying a knot. The Multitak Suture Snap aso annousonio oneigy to becare salare to Innovasive Devices, Inc., Y-Knot Suture Clip. Both Systems use a two-piece crimp component to secure suture without tying a knot. The Systems as a the proov system resorbable crimp is similar to currently marketed poly-L-lactic acid devices including the Mitek BTB Absorbable (PLA) Cross Pin.
Predicate Comparison: Performance testing comparing the mechanical strengths of knotted nonalsorbable braided polyester suture to the same type of suture secured with the Multitak Suture Snap 2 Resorbable Crimp was conducted to demonstrate substantial equivalence. Genzyme Surgical Products, Inc., nonabsorbable suture was used as the predicate comparison device.
