Intended Use
The AnnuloFlo® System is intended for use in the repair of the human cardiac valve. The AnnuloFlo® annuloplasty ring is indicated as a reinforcement for repair of the human cardiac mitral valve damaged by acquired or congenital disease, or as a replacement for a previously implanted annuloplasty ring. The annuloplasty ring should be used only in cases where visual inspection confirms that the valve is repairable and does not require replacement.
Device Description
The AnnuloFlo® System consists of an annuloplasty ring, and a prosthesis of instrumentation provided in a tray to properly size the annulus and implant the annuloplasty ring. The annuloplasty ring is designed to reinforce the native annulus while retaining the native valve apparatus. The AnnuloFlo® annuloplasty ring employs materials with a long and satisfactory history of use in cardiovascular applications. All materials are non-ferrous, have extensive history in implants and do not present a significant risk during Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). The annuloplasty ring consists of a titanium stiffener ring enclosed in a sewing ring of silicone and knitted polyester fabric. The mitral AnnuloFlo® annuloplasty ring is kidney shaped. The curved posterior segment of the ring corresponds to the native posterior leaflet. The open segment of the ring corresponds to the anterior leaflet.

No
The summary describes a physical medical device (annuloplasty ring and instruments) and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is described as an annuloplasty ring intended for the repair of the human cardiac valve, specifically the mitral valve, indicating a direct therapeutic intervention.

No

The device is described as an annuloplasty ring and associated instrumentation used for the repair or replacement of cardiac valves, specifically the mitral valve. Its purpose is to reinforce the annulus, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description explicitly states the system consists of a physical annuloplasty ring and instrumentation, which are hardware components.

Based on the provided text, the AnnuloFlo® System is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is the "repair of the human cardiac valve," specifically the mitral valve. This is a surgical procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is an "annuloplasty ring" and associated "instrumentation" for implantation. These are physical devices used in surgery.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, tissue, or urine) outside of the body to provide information about a physiological state, health, or disease.

IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the body, not to directly repair or treat a condition within the body.

Indications for Use:
The AnnuloFlo® annuloplasty ring is indicated as a reinforcement for repair of the human cardiac mitral valve damaged by acquired or congenital disease, or as a replacement for a previously implanted annuloplasty ring. The annuloplasty ring should be used only in cases where visual inspection confirms that the valve is repairable and does not require replacement.
