Intended Use

Polyform™ Synthetic Mesh is indicated for tissue reinforcement and stabilization of fascial structures of the pelvic floor via an abdominal approach, where surgical treatment is intended, either as mechanical support or bridging material for the fascial defect.

Device Description

Polyform™ Synthetic Mesh is intended to be utilized for surgical procedures pertaining to the pelvic floor. Polyform Synthetic Mesh is supplied sterile and provided in sheet form to be cut to size and sutured by the surgeon to meet the individual patient's needs. Polyform Synthetic Mesh is manufactured from monofilament polypropylene fibers.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the Polyform™ Synthetic Mesh. It describes the device, its intended use, and a summary of testing. However, it does not contain information about acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets those criteria in the context of clinical performance or AI algorithm performance.

The "SUMMARY of TESTING" section states that:

  • "Bench test data reveal Polyform™ Synthetic Mesh has mechanical and material characterization values that are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices."
  • "The biocompatibility test results show that the material used in the design and manufacture of the device is non-toxic and nonsensitizing to biological tissues consistent with their intended use."
  • "Updated test data on the bench and the rodent, as summarized in the updated product brochure, shows comparable technical properties to the more contemporary material properties like those in the Gynemesh PS."

This indicates that the device's substantial equivalence was established through bench testing, biocompatibility testing, and rodent studies comparing its material properties and mechanical characteristics to predicate devices. These are not studies that would involve clinical acceptance criteria, human readers, ground truth established by experts, or AI algorithm performance as typically understood for diagnostic or prognostic AI devices.

Therefore, I cannot fulfill the request to provide:

  1. A table of acceptance criteria and reported device performance.
  2. Sample size used for the test set and data provenance.
  3. Number of experts used to establish ground truth and their qualifications.
  4. Adjudication method.
  5. MRMC comparative effectiveness study details or effect size.
  6. Standalone algorithm performance.
  7. Type of ground truth used.
  8. Sample size for the training set.
  9. How ground truth for the training set was established.

These specific requirements pertain to studies evaluating the performance of AI/CADe devices, which this document does not describe. The summary focuses on the physical and biological properties of a surgical mesh, not a software or AI-driven diagnostic tool.

SUBSTANTIALLY EQUIVALENT TO: Polyform™ Synthetic Mesh is substantially equivalent to the Mersilene Mesh (Ethicon, Inc.), the Prolene Soft Mesh (Ethicon, Inc.), and the Bard Mesh (C.R. Bard, Inc.) a polypropylene mesh.

DESCRIPTION of the DEVICE:

Polyform™ Synthetic Mesh is intended to be utilized for surgical procedures pertaining to the pelvic floor. Polyform Synthetic Mesh is supplied sterile and provided in sheet form to be cut to size and sutured by the surgeon to meet the individual patient's needs. Polyform Synthetic Mesh is manufactured from monofilament polypropylene fibers.

INDICATIONS FOR USE:

Polyform™ Synthetic Mesh is indicated for tissue reinforcement and stabilization of fascial structures of the pelvic floor via an abdominal approach, where surgical treatment is intended, either as mechanical support or bridging material for the fascial defect.

SUMMARY of TESTING:

Bench test data reveal Polyform™ Synthetic Mesh has mechanical and material characterization values that are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices. The biocompatibility test results show that the material used in the design and manufacture of the device is non-toxic and nonsensitizing to biological tissues consistent with their intended use.Updated test data on the bench and the rodent, as summarized in the updated product brochure, shows comparable technical properties to the more contemporary material properties like those in the Gynemesh PS.

Dear Ms. Duncan:

This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of June 17, 2005.

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. Drue. 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.

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.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must

{2}------------------------------------------------

comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please go to http://www.fda.gov/AboutFDA/CentersOffices/CDRH/CDRHOffices/ucm115809.htm for the Center for Devices and Radiological Health's (CDRH's) Office of Compliance. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to

http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Safety/ReportalProblem/default.htm for the CDRH's Office of Surveillance and Biometrics/Division of Postmarket Surveillance.

You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 796-7100 or at its Internet address http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Resourcesfor You/Industry/default.htm.
