The 510(k) summary describes sutures, a physical medical device, and contains no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data analysis typically associated with AI/ML-powered devices.

No
Explanation: SERRALNYL™ sutures are used for approximation and ligation of soft tissues, which are surgical tools or materials to close wounds and secure tissues, not devices that provide therapy for a disease or condition.

No
Explanation: The device, SERRALNYL™ sutures, is used for tissue approximation and ligation, which are therapeutic rather than diagnostic actions.

No

The 510(k) summary describes sutures, which are physical medical devices, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use of SERRALNYL™ sutures is for "general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation". This describes a surgical procedure performed on the body, not a test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status
    • Using reagents or analytical methods

IVDs are devices used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. Sutures are surgical implants used to close wounds or hold tissues together.

Therefore, SERRALNYL™ sutures fall under the category of a surgical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
