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
The device is a surgical suture used for tissue approximation and ligation, which is a structural or supportive function, not a therapeutic treatment of a disease or condition.

No

Explanation: The device is a surgical suture used for tissue approximation and/or ligation, which are therapeutic functions. There is no mention of it being used to diagnose conditions or diseases.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "natural nonabsorbable silk surgical suture," which is a physical material, 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 "soft tissue approximation and/or ligation including use in cardiovascular, ophthalmic and neurological procedures." This describes a surgical tool used directly on a patient's body.
  • Device Description: The description details a "surgical suture," which is a physical material used to close wounds or tie off blood vessels during surgery.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) outside of the body to provide information about a patient's health status, which is the defining characteristic of an IVD.

Therefore, the TRUSILK Non-absorbable Silk Surgical Suture is a surgical device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
