Intended Use
The Bard® InnerLace™ BioUrethral Support System is intended for use as a soft tissue patch to reinforce soft tissue where weakness exists and for the surgical repair of damaged or ruptured soft tissue membranes. It is specifically indicated for use as a pubourethral sling for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence in women resulting from urethral hypermobility and/or intrinsic sphincter deficiency.
Device Description
The Bard® InnerLace" BioUrethral Support System consists of a Bard InnerLace™ System Pelvicol® implant and an introducer device to facilitate quick and simple placement of the implant. The Bard® InnerLace™ System Pelvicol® Implant is positioned suburethrally to provide a natural backboard for the urethra during abdominal pressure increases. The introducer allows a choice of either suprapubic or retropubic implantation techniques depending on physician preference. The introducer set includes a removable handle, two introducer needles, and four snap-on tissue connectors.

Not Found

No
The summary describes a surgical implant and introducer device, with no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies.

Yes
The device is used to treat stress urinary incontinence in women, which is a medical condition, making it a therapeutic device.

No
The device is described as a "soft tissue patch to reinforce soft tissue" and a "pubourethral sling" for surgical repair and treatment of stress urinary incontinence. Its function is to provide physical support and reinforcement, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of a physical implant and an introducer device, which are hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use describes a surgical implant and support system for treating stress urinary incontinence. This involves a physical intervention within the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a surgical implant (soft tissue patch) and an introducer device for placement. This is a medical device used in a surgical procedure.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples from the body (like blood, urine, tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to diagnose a condition. IVDs are typically tests or kits used for diagnostic purposes on biological samples.

The device is clearly intended for surgical repair and support in vivo (within the body), which is characteristic of a surgical medical device, not an IVD.
