No
The summary describes a surgical suture, a physical medical device, and contains no mention of software, algorithms, image processing, AI, or ML.

No
The device, Serralapg™ Synthetic Surgical Absorbable Sutures, is indicated for tissue approximation and ligation, which are surgical interventions, not therapeutic treatments.

No
Explanation: The device is described as an absorbable suture used for general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device is described as "Synthetic Surgical Absorbable Sutures," which are physical medical devices, not software. The summary provides no information suggesting a software component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states "general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation". This describes a surgical procedure performed directly on a patient's body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body (which is the definition of an in vitro diagnostic).
  • Device Description: While the description is "Not Found", the intended use is the primary indicator.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), diagnostic testing, or providing information about a patient's health status based on laboratory analysis.

Therefore, Serralapg™ Synthetic Surgical Absorbable Sutures are a surgical device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

§ 878.4493 Absorbable poly(glycolide/l-lactide) surgical suture.

(a)
Identification. An absorbable poly(glycolide/l-lactide) surgical suture (PGL suture) is an absorbable sterile, flexible strand as prepared and synthesized from homopolymers of glycolide and copolymers made from 90 percent glycolide and 10 percent l-lactide, and is indicated for use in soft tissue approximation. A PGL suture meets United States Pharmacopeia (U.S.P.) requirements as described in the U.S.P. “Monograph for Absorbable Surgical Sutures;” it may be monofilament or multifilament (braided) in form; it may be uncoated or coated; and it may be undyed or dyed with an FDA-approved color additive. Also, the suture may be provided with or without a standard needle attached.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The special control for this device is FDA's “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Surgical Sutures; Guidance for Industry and FDA.” See § 878.1(e) for the availability of this guidance document.

Dear Mr. Henderson:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898.
