More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and intended use focus on a physical suture and needle assembly for soft tissue approximation, with no mention of AI/ML terms, image processing, or data-driven performance metrics.

No
The device is a needle and suture assembly used for soft tissue approximation and ligation during orthopedic surgical procedures, which are restorative rather than therapeutic.

No
The device description and intended use indicate it is an assembly for suture passage and soft tissue approximation/ligation during surgical procedures, not for diagnostic purposes.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical suture and needle assembly intended for in vivo use during surgical procedures. It is a hardware device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. These tests are performed outside of the body (in vitro).
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The description clearly states that this device is a "suture and needle assembly to be used in vivo for suture passage through soft tissue during the surgical procedure." This means it is used inside the body during surgery.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Testing: There is no mention of this device being used to analyze samples or provide diagnostic information about a patient's condition. Its purpose is purely for surgical repair and reconstruction.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a surgical instrument or implant, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

§ 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.
