More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a physical surgical sling made of mesh and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.

Yes
The T-Sling is used to treat medical conditions (Genuine Stress Urinary Incontinence, mixed incontinence, and vaginal vault prolapse) by positioning a mesh. This direct treatment purpose classifies it as a therapeutic device.

No
The device is described as a surgical sling for treating incontinence and prolapse, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is made of "monofilament polypropylene warp knitted into composite mesh construction," indicating it is a physical implant, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the T-Sling is used in females to position a mesh for the treatment of medical conditions (stress urinary incontinence, mixed incontinence, vaginal vault prolapse). This is a surgical implant used in vivo (within the body).
  • Device Description: The description details the material and construction of a surgical sling, not a reagent, instrument, or system intended for use in the in vitro examination of specimens derived from the human body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting substances, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory tests.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) outside the body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The T-Sling is a therapeutic device implanted inside the body.

Dear Marla Kengen:

This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of February 3, 2006.

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 application (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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
