The summary describes a surgical suture, a physical medical device, with no mention of software, algorithms, or any technology related to AI or ML.
No
The device is a surgical suture used for tissue approximation and ligation, which are surgical procedures, not therapeutic treatments.
No
The device is a surgical suture used for tissue approximation and ligation, which is a therapeutic purpose, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device is a physical surgical suture, not a software-only medical device. The description clearly outlines a braided material attached to needles.
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," which is a surgical procedure performed on the body, not in vitro (outside the body) for diagnostic purposes.
- Device Description: The description details a surgical suture, a physical device used to close wounds or tie off vessels during surgery. This is not a reagent, instrument, or system used to examine specimens from the human body to provide diagnostic information.
- Lack of Diagnostic Information: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze samples (like blood, urine, tissue) or provide any kind of diagnostic result.
IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on specimens taken from the human body to diagnose diseases or other conditions. This device is a surgical tool.

§ 878.5000 Nonabsorbable poly(ethylene terephthalate) surgical suture.
(a)
Identification. Nonabsorbable poly(ethylene terephthalate) surgical suture is a multifilament, nonabsorbable, sterile, flexible thread prepared from fibers of high molecular weight, long-chain, linear polyesters having recurrent aromatic rings as an integral component and is indicated for use in soft tissue approximation. The poly(ethylene terephthalate) surgical suture meets U.S.P. requirements as described in the U.S.P. Monograph for Nonabsorbable Surgical Sutures; it may be provided uncoated or coated; and it may be undyed or dyed with an appropriate FDA listed 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.

Dear Mr. Arguello:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate 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.
