Intended Use
Sportmesh™ is intended for use in general surgical procedures for reinforcement of soft tissue where weakness exists. Sportmesh™ is also intended for reinforcement of soft tissues that are repaired by suture or suture anchors, limited to the supraspinatus, during rotator cuff repair surgery. Sportmesh™ is not intended to replace normal body structure or provide the full mechanical strength to support the rotator cuff. Sutures used to repair the tear, and sutures or bone anchors used to attach the tissue to the bone, provide mechanical strength for the tendon repair. Sportmesh™ reinforces soft tissue and provides a degradable scaffold that is incorporated in the patient's own tissue.
Device Description
Sportmesh™is a knitted fabric made from ARTELON fibers. This construction permits the mesh to be cut into any desired shape or size without unraveling. The device is supplied in sheet form in sterile double layer peelable packaging.

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

No.
Sportmesh™ is intended for reinforcement of soft tissue, not for direct therapeutic treatment of a condition or disease. It provides mechanical support and a scaffold for tissue incorporation.

No

Sportmesh is a surgical mesh primarily used for reinforcement of soft tissue, not for identifying, monitoring, or predicting medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states that Sportmesh™ is a knitted fabric made from ARTELON fibers, supplied in sheet form. This indicates a physical, implantable medical device, not a software-only device.

Based on the provided information, Sportmesh™ is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: IVD devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This information is used for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Sportmesh™'s Intended Use: Sportmesh™ is intended for surgical implantation to reinforce soft tissue. It is a physical device used in the body, not a tool for analyzing samples from the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a knitted fabric made from fibers, designed for surgical use. This aligns with a surgical implant, not an IVD.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any analysis of biological samples, chemical reactions, or diagnostic information being generated by the device.

Therefore, Sportmesh™ falls under the category of a surgical implant or mesh, not an IVD.

Dear Ms. Powell:

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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such 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 comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); 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.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (240) 276-0115. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97).
