Intended Use
FortaFlex™ Surgical Mesh is intended to be used for implantation to reinforce soft tissue including, but not limited to: defects of the abdominal and thoracic wall, muscle flap reinforcement, rectal and vaginal prolapse, reconstruction of the pelvic floor, hernias, suture-line reinforcement and reconstructive procedures. The device is also intended for reinforcement of the soft tissues which are repaired by suture or sutere anchors, limited to the supraspinatus, during rotator cuff repair surgery. The device is intended for one-time use.
Device Description
FortaFlex Surgical Mesh consists of a multi-laminate sheet predominantly of Type I porcine collagen. The device is supplied in sheet form in sizes ranging from 5 x 5 cm to 12 x 36 cm in sterile double layer peelable packaging.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a surgical mesh made of collagen and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

No
The device is a surgical mesh intended for reinforcing soft tissue, not for providing therapy or treatment in itself. Its purpose is structural support during repair and reconstructive procedures.

No

Explanation: The device, FortaFlex Surgical Mesh, is described as being used for implantation to reinforce soft tissue, such as in abdominal and thoracic wall defects or during rotator cuff repair surgery. Its intended use is therapeutic (reinforcement and repair) rather than diagnostic (identifying or characterizing a medical condition).

No

The device description clearly states it is a "multi-laminate sheet predominantly of Type I porcine collagen," indicating it is a physical implant, not software.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • FortaFlex Surgical Mesh Function: FortaFlex Surgical Mesh is an implantable device used to reinforce soft tissue within the body during surgical procedures. It is not used to test or analyze samples taken from the body.

The provided information clearly describes a surgical implant, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample outside the body.
