The description focuses on the material and physical properties of a surgical mesh, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.
Yes
The device is indicated for tissue reinforcement and stabilization of fascial structures, which classifies it as a therapeutic device.
No
The device is a surgical mesh used for tissue reinforcement and stabilization, not for diagnosing conditions.
No
The device description clearly states it is a "knitted mesh of polypropylene fibers," which is a physical hardware component, not software.
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 "tissue reinforcement and long-lasting stabilization of fascial structures of the pelvic floor in vaginal wall prolapse where surgical treatment is intended." This describes a surgical implant used in vivo (within the body) to provide structural support.
- Device Description: The description of a "knitted mesh of polypropylene fibers" further supports its use as a surgical implant.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens in vitro (outside the body), such as blood, urine, or tissue samples, to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the body, while this device is implanted directly into the body for structural support.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The AMS Large Pore Polypropylene Mesh is indicated for tissue reinforcement and long-lasting stabilization of fascial structures of the pelvic floor in vaginal wall prolapse where surgical treatment is intended, either as mechanical support or bridging material for the fascial defect.

§ 884.5980 Surgical mesh for transvaginal pelvic organ prolapse repair.
(a)
Identification. Surgical mesh for transvaginal pelvic organ prolapse repair is a prescription device intended to reinforce soft tissue in the pelvic floor. This device is a porous implant that is made of synthetic material, non-synthetic material, or a combination of synthetic and non-synthetic materials. This device does not include surgical mesh for other intended uses (§ 878.3300 of this chapter).(b)
Classification. Class III (premarket approval).(c)
Date premarket application approval or notice of completion of a product development protocol is required. A premarket application approval or notice of completion of a product development protocol for a device is required to be filed with the Food and Drug Administration on or before July 5, 2018, for any surgical mesh described in paragraph (a) of this section that was in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976, or that has, on or before July 5, 2018, been found substantially equivalent to a surgical mesh described in paragraph (a) of this section that was in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976. Any other surgical mesh for transvaginal pelvic organ prolapse repair shall have an approved premarket application or declared completed product development protocol in effect before being placed in commercial distribution.

Dear Ms. Linke:
This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of March 24, 2004.
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 (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 additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must
