Intended Use
The ATS SIMULUS FC Annuloplasty Bands are for use in those patients undergoing surgery of diseased or damaged mitral or tricuspid valves in whom the surgeon determines that the valve can be preserved by employing the appropriate surgical repair. The annuloplasty bands provide support for the mitral or tricuspid annulus and restrict expansion of the annulus.
Device Description
The ATS SIMULUS FC Annuloplasty Bands are implantable, fully flexible, annular bands (Figure 1). The bands reduce and stabilize the atrioventricular annulus in patients undergoing mitral or tricuspid valve repair. The body of the band is made of braided Polyester. The band contains a circumferential flexible radiopaque marker. The entire circumference of the band is radiopaque. The annuloplasty bands and accessories are designed as an integrated system to ease implantation. Malleable stems connects the double ended sizers to their handle. The bands are available in the following sizes: 23 mm, 27 mm, 29 mm, 31 mm, 33 mm and 35 mm. The size refers to the inner diameter of the band. Green trigone markers are spaced at 120° from the midpoint of the posterior segment, which is also indicated by a green marker.

No
The device description and intended use focus on a physical implantable device for valve repair. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would suggest the use of AI/ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" and "Description of the training set..." sections are explicitly marked as "Not Found".

Yes
The device is used in surgery to repair diseased or damaged heart valves by providing support and restricting expansion of the annulus, which directly treats the medical condition.

No

The device is an implantable annuloplasty band designed to support and restrict the expansion of the mitral or tricuspid annulus during valve repair surgery. It is a therapy device, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly states that the device is an "implantable, fully flexible, annular band" made of "braided Polyester" and containing a "circumferential flexible radiopaque marker." This describes a physical, hardware medical device, not a software-only device.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples such as blood, urine, or tissue that have been taken from the human body to detect diseases or other conditions. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The ATS SIMULUS FC Annuloplasty Bands are implantable medical devices used during surgery to physically support and restrict the expansion of the mitral or tricuspid annulus. They are a surgical repair tool, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states they are for "use in those patients undergoing surgery... in whom the surgeon determines that the valve can be preserved by employing the appropriate surgical repair." This describes a surgical intervention, not a diagnostic process.
  • Device Description: The description details the physical components of an implantable band, not a test kit or analytical instrument.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the ATS SIMULUS FC Annuloplasty Bands are a surgical implant, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
