Intended Use

COROLENE® sutures are intended for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in cardiovascular and vascular surgery, in ophthalmic surgery, in plastic surgery and in neurological surgery.

Device Description

COROLENE® is a monofilament synthetic non-absorbable surgical suture composed of polypropylene. The suture is available undyed or blue dyed with an FDA approved color additive: Phtalocyanine-copper (CI 74160), to enhance visibility. The suture may be provided with or without a standard needle attached.

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes a 510(k) summary for a new surgical suture called COROLENE®. The submission aims to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a predicate device, PROLENE™.

Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and study information:

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Acceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
Conformance to USP Monographs for non-absorbable surgical suturesThe device complied with the USP monographs.
Conformance to EP Monographs for non-absorbable surgical suturesThe device complied with the EP monographs.
Biocompatibility of Polypropylene materialThe polypropylene material used for both medical devices is commonly used in surgical applications and has been proven to be biocompatible.
Intended UseCOROLENE® has the same intended use as the predicate device PROLENE®.
Technological CharacteristicsCOROLENE® has similar technological characteristics as the predicate device PROLENE® (monofilament synthetic non-absorbable surgical suture, sterile, undyed or blue dyed).

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance

The document does not specify a "test set" in the context of clinical or performance testing on a specific sample size of devices, nor does it provide information on data provenance (e.g., country of origin, retrospective/prospective). The performance data cited are related to compliance with established industry standards (USP and EP monographs).

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts

Not applicable. The ground truth for this type of device (surgical suture) is established through adherence to recognized pharmacopoeia standards (USP, EP) rather than expert consensus on a test set in the way one might evaluate an AI diagnostic tool.

4. Adjudication method for the test set

Not applicable, as there isn't a "test set" requiring adjudication by experts.

5. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance

Not applicable. This device is a surgical suture, not an AI-assisted diagnostic or therapeutic tool that would involve human readers or AI assistance.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

Not applicable. This device is a surgical suture, not an algorithm or AI system.

7. The type of ground truth used

The "ground truth" for this device's performance is its conformance to the specifications and requirements outlined in the United States Pharmacopoeia (USP) Monographs and the European Pharmacopoeia (EP) Monographs for non-absorbable surgical sutures. This includes material properties, sterility, dimensions, tensile strength, and biocompatibility.

8. The sample size for the training set

Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device that requires a training set. The "device" is a physical surgical suture.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

Not applicable, as there is no training set for this type of device.

Statement of intended use

COROLENE® sutures are intended for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in cardiovascular and vascular surgery, in ophthalmic surgery, in plastic surgery and in neurological surgery.

COROLENE® has the same intended use as the predicate device PROLENT®

New Device Description

COROLENE® is a monofilament synthetic non-absorbable surgical suture composed of polypropylene. The suture is available undyed or blue dyed with an FDA approved color additive: Phtalocyanine-copper (CI 74160), to enhance visibility.
