The 510(k) summary describes a surgical suture and contains no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data-driven performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML devices.
No
A therapeutic device is one that treats a disease or condition. This device, sutures, is used for soft tissue approximation and ligation, which are procedures, not treatments in themselves in the context of a "therapeutic device." Sutures aid in the healing process by holding tissue together, but they are not directly delivering therapy or treating a disease like a drug or a therapeutic ultrasound device would.
No
The device is a suture used for soft tissue approximation and ligation, which is a treatment/surgical function, not a diagnostic one.
No
The 510(k) summary describes "SERRALENE™ sutures," which are physical medical devices used for tissue approximation and ligation. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component of the device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use describes the device as sutures for general soft tissue approximation and ligation in surgical procedures. This is a direct medical intervention on a patient's body.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
- Analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) in vitro (outside the body).
- Providing information about a patient's health status, diagnosis, or disease.
- Using reagents or assays.
Sutures are considered medical devices used in vivo (within the body) for surgical purposes, not for diagnostic testing.

§ 878.5010 Nonabsorbable polypropylene surgical suture.
(a)
Identification. Nonabsorbable polypropylene surgical suture is a monofilament, nonabsorbable, sterile, flexible thread prepared from long-chain polyolefin polymer known as polypropylene and is indicated for use in soft tissue approximation. The polypropylene surgical suture meets United States Pharmacopeia (U.S.P.) requirements as described in the U.S.P. Monograph for Nonabsorbable Surgical Sutures; it may be undyed or dyed with an FDA approved color additive; and 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.

Dear Mr. Henderson:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
