No
The device description focuses on the physical materials and mechanical function of a surgical implant, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.
Yes
The device is intended for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence, which is a medical condition, making it a therapeutic device.
No
The device is described as an implant for treating stress urinary incontinence, acting as a urethral support. Its purpose is therapeutic, not diagnostic.
No
The device description clearly states that the device is a permanent implant manufactured with biocompatible silicone elastomers and polypropylene, and includes surgical instruments for implantation. This indicates it is a physical medical device, not software-only.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to be permanently implanted in women for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence. This is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
- Device Description: The device is a surgical implant (sling) made of biocompatible materials. It is designed to provide physical support to the urethra.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) outside of the body to provide information about a physiological state, health, or disease.
IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to diagnose, monitor, or screen for diseases or conditions. This device is a surgical implant used for treatment.

Device Description
PROMEDON's Slings, SAFYRE VS and SAFYRE T, are manufactured with biocompatible silicone elastomers and polypropylene. Each sling is a permanent implant and is offered as a single use sterile product. Safyre consists of a monofilament polypropylene mesh between two silicone columns that are made of multiple coneshaped soft tissue anchors. These units are the basis of the self anchoring system. The polypropylene mesh lies on the mid-urethra and the interconnective tissue grows among its pores, between the vaginal flap and the urethra, which leads to integration of the implant without a loss of vascularization between the bladder and the vagina. The two columns are fixed to the abdominal fascia or the obturator muscle. This self anchoring system is strong enough to keep the sling in its place when there is an important muscular activity, such as coughing or other strains.
SAFYRE VS consists of a sling and a pair of single-use surgical instruments to facilitate its vaginal or suprapubic implantation ; while SAFYRE T is made up of the same sling, only varying in length with respect to the model VS, and a needle intended for the transobturator technique. Both are supplied with the surgical instruments to aid implantation.

E. Comparison of Technological Characteristics
All of the devices are indicated for permanent implantation for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence grades II and III acting as a urethral support. All of the devices are made of the same or similar materials and are supplied with insertion instruments.
The SAFYRE VS and SAFYRE T are substantially equivalent to the predicate device. The intended use, technological characteristics of the device materials and design of the SAFYRE VS and SAFYRE T support the concept of substantial equivalence.
F. Performance Testing
Bench testing and biocompatibility testing was performed on the SAFYRE VS and SAFYRE T.
