More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical properties and USP compliance of a surgical suture, with no mention of AI or ML.

No.
A surgical suture is used to approximate tissue and assist in the healing process, but it does not treat a disease or condition itself, rather it is a tool used in a therapeutic procedure.

No

The device is a surgical suture used for approximating and ligating soft tissue, which is a treatment function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical surgical suture made from polyethylene terephthalate, which is a hardware component.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states "soft tissue approximation and/or ligation including use in cardiovascular, ophthalmic and neurological procedures." This describes a device used within the body during surgery, not a device used to test samples outside the body (in vitro).
  • Device Description: The description details a surgical suture, a physical thread used to close wounds or tie off vessels. This is a surgical implant/device, not a diagnostic test.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), reagents, or any other components typically associated with in vitro diagnostics.

This device is a surgical suture, which falls under the category of medical devices used for surgical procedures.
