The description focuses on the mechanical function of crimping sutures and does not mention any AI/ML components or capabilities.
No
The device, "Suture Clinch," is used to fasten sutures by crimping their ends during soft tissue approximation. It is a mechanical aid for surgery and does not directly treat or prevent a disease, nor does it restore, modify, or correct body function or structure in a therapeutic manner beyond the mechanical act of holding sutures. Its function is to facilitate the surgical closure of tissue, not to provide therapy itself.
No
The device, "Suture Clinch," is described as fastening sterile non-absorbable sutures by crimping suture ends during soft tissue approximation. Its function is to secure sutures, which is a therapeutic or procedural action, not a diagnostic one. There is no mention of the device being used to identify, detect, or assess a medical condition.
No
The device description clearly states the device is manufactured from poly acetyl plastic and is a physical component used to crimp sutures. It is not software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to fasten sutures during soft tissue approximation. This is a surgical procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
- Device Description: The device is a physical object (a plastic clip) used to mechanically secure sutures. It does not involve analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) outside of the body.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples, detecting analytes, providing diagnostic information, or any other activity typically associated with in vitro diagnostics.
IVDs are devices used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. The Suture Clinch does not fit this description.

Device Description
The Suture Clinch fastens sterile non-absorbable sutures in sizes 0 to 4-0 USP by crimping the suture ends during soft tissue approximation. The Suture Clinch is manufactured from poly acetyl plastic. Its unique shape provides an optimum means of capturing and securing the suture. The unique shape of the Suture Clinch also allows the applicator (clip applier) to close the Suture Clinch completely around the suture. The single use Suture Clinch Cartridge is supplied sterile, packaged individually in a Tyvek® pouch. The method of sterilization is EO with a Sal of 10°.
