No
The 510(k) summary describes a surgical suturing device and does not mention any AI or ML capabilities, image processing, or data-driven performance metrics.

No
The device is described as an M-Connector and Needle Cassette for placing suture, which is a surgical tool, not a therapeutic device.

No
Explanation: The device is indicated for placing sutures through soft tissue, which is a therapeutic or surgical function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The intended use describes a device for placing sutures through soft tissue, which inherently involves physical manipulation and likely hardware components. The summary does not mention any software-only functionality.

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 "placement of Braided Polyester Suture through soft tissue in endoscopic and other limited access procedures." This describes a surgical or procedural tool used directly on the patient's body.
  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. This device does not perform any such testing on biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD-related information: The provided text lacks any mention of biological samples, testing, analysis, or diagnostic purposes, which are hallmarks of IVD devices.

Therefore, the Opus SmartStitch M-Connector and Needle Cassette are surgical or procedural devices, not IVDs.
