More Information

NDA 17-804 & 17-809

No
The summary describes a mechanical suture and needle assembly and does not mention any computational or data-driven components indicative of AI/ML.

No
The device is a suture and needle assembly used for passing sutures through soft tissue during surgical procedures for approximation and/or ligation. It is an instrument used in a therapeutic procedure rather than a therapeutic device that directly treats a condition.

No

Explanation: The device description clearly states it is a "suture and needle assembly to be used in vivo for suture passage through soft tissue during the surgical procedure". Its intended use is for tissue approximation and ligation, which are therapeutic actions, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "suture and needle assembly" and is designed to be used with a "Mitek Suture Passer," indicating it is a physical medical device with hardware components.

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 "general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation in orthopedic procedures." This describes a surgical procedure performed on the patient's body (in vivo), not a test performed on a sample taken from the patient's body (in vitro).
  • Device Description: The description confirms it's a "suture and needle assembly to be used in vivo for suture passage through soft tissue during the surgical procedure." Again, this is an in-vivo application.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any components or processes related to analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to diagnose, monitor, or screen for diseases or conditions.

IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples outside of the body to provide information about a person's health. This device is a surgical tool used directly within the body during a procedure.

§ 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.
