More Information

No
The summary describes a surgical mesh implant and its physical properties and biocompatibility, with no mention of AI or ML technology.

Yes
The device is intended for the treatment of urinary incontinence and for implantation to reinforce soft tissues, which are therapeutic applications.

No
The device is a surgical mesh intended for reinforcing soft tissues, not for diagnosing conditions. Its purpose is treatment, not diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly states it is an "implant" and a "pre-cut piece" of "material," indicating it is a physical medical device, 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 that the device is an "implant that is intended for the treatment of urinary incontinence... and for implantation to reinforce soft tissues". This describes a device that is surgically placed within the body for therapeutic or supportive purposes.
  • Device Description: The description details a "pre-cut piece" of mesh, which is consistent with a surgical implant.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue samples) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVD devices are used outside the body to analyze samples and provide diagnostic information. This device is an implant used inside the body for structural support and treatment.

Dear Ms. Benson:

This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of December 14, 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.
