No
The device description focuses on the physical materials and structure of a hernia patch, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.
No
The device is a hernia patch made of mesh material intended for hernia repair, which is a structural reinforcement and not a therapeutic function for disease treatment.
No
Explanation: The device is described as a hernia patch intended for repair, which is a therapeutic function rather than a diagnostic one. It does not mention any capabilities related to detecting, identifying, or monitoring medical conditions.
No
The device description clearly details a physical, multi-layered hernia patch made of polypropylene mesh, PET polymer, and ePTFE, indicating it is a hardware medical device, not software.
Based on the provided information, the Bard Ventralex Hernia Patch is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for "hernia repair requiring reinforcement with a nonabsorbable support material" and "repair soft tissue deficiencies". This describes a surgical implant used directly on the patient's body.
- Device Description: The description details a physical patch made of polypropylene mesh, a PET ring, and ePTFE. This is a physical medical device, not a diagnostic test performed on samples outside the body.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific analytes, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's condition based on laboratory testing.
IVDs are devices used to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. The Bard Ventralex Hernia Patch does not fit this description.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Bard Ventralex Hernia Patch is intended for use in all forms of hernia repair requiring reinforcement with a nonabsorbable support material. The small Bard Ventralex Patch (REF 0010301) is also intended to repair soft tissue deficiencies including deficiencies caused by trocars.

Device Description
The proposed Ventralex Patch is a self-expanding, three layer device. Two layers consist of polypropylene mesh. The top layer of polypropylene mesh forms a positioning strap and pocket. The purpose of the strap and pocket is to facilitate placement, positioning and fixation of the device. After the device has been properly placed and attached, the positioning strap must be removed and properly discarded. The monofilament PET polymer "ring" is captured between the two layers of polypropylene mesh and adds stability to the device enabling greater simplicity and assurance in the proper placement. The third layer of the device is a single laver of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) that is attached to the polypropylene mesh with an interlocking PTFE stitch pattern. The peripheral edge of the polypropylene mesh is heat sealed to the ePTFE layer.

Dear Mr.Kanerviko:
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.
