The device description and performance studies focus on the physical properties and manufacturing standards of a surgical suture, with no mention of AI or ML.
No
A therapeutic device is one that treats a disease or condition. This device is a surgical suture, which is used for approximation and ligation of tissues (closing wounds), not for treating a disease or condition itself.
No
This device is a surgical suture used for approximation and ligation of tissues. Its function is to hold tissues together, not to diagnose a medical condition.
No
The device is a surgical suture, which is a physical medical device, not software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for "general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in cardiovascular, ophthalmic and neurological procedures." This describes a surgical device used within the body for physical repair.
- Device Description: The description details a surgical suture, a physical thread used to close wounds or tie off vessels.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD is a device used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) outside the body to provide information about a person's health. This device does not perform any such analysis.
Therefore, the ORLON® Polyamide Nonabsorbable Needle Suture USP is a surgical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

Summary of Performance Studies
All the testing and the manufacturing process conform to the standards of the United States Pharmacopoeia. After sterilization, the sutures are subjected to physical tests of diameter, tensile strength, needle attachment and sterility. Once all these tests are conducted and the sutures pass these tests, they are released for distribution.
