No
The device description focuses solely on the material composition, physical structure, and configurations of the vascular grafts. There is no mention of any computational or analytical functions that would suggest the use of AI or ML.
Yes
The device is a vascular graft designed to repair or replace peripheral arteries and provide vascular access, which constitutes a therapeutic intervention.
No
This device is a vascular graft, designed to repair or replace arteries. Its intended use is therapeutic (surgical repair), not diagnostic.
No
The device description clearly indicates that the devices are physical vascular grafts made of materials like ePTFE and polyester, not software.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
- Device Description: The description clearly states that these are synthetic vascular grafts made of ePTFE or polyester. They are designed to be implanted into the body to repair or replace blood vessels.
- Intended Use: The intended use is to repair or replace peripheral arteries and provide vascular access. This is a surgical procedure involving implantation, not a laboratory test on a sample.
The device is an implantable medical device used in surgical procedures, not an IVD.

Device Description
EXXCEL™ & EXXCEL™ Soft ePTFE Vascular Grafts:
EXXCEL™ & EXXCEL™ Soft ePTFE Vascular Grafts are synthetic vascular grafts constructed of extruded, expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE). They are available in various configurations, with the following features:
EXXCEL™ grafts have a unique cross-helical PTFE yarn wrap to enhance mechanical strength, minimize kinking and increase suture retention strength.EXXCEL™ Soft grafts are ePTFE grafts without a yarn wrap, that possess enhanced handling characteristics.Straight grafts (available in EXXCEL™ & EXXCEL™ Soft)have a uniform diameter throughout their length.Short Taper and Step grafts (available in EXXCEL™ & EXXCEL™ Soft) are designed to have the arterial anastomosis of vascular access procedures created with the smaller diameter end to reduce the risk of steal syndrome.
Externally Supported grafts (available only in EXXCEL™ Soft) have a removable, continuous spiral support coil to increase compression resistance and to minimize kinking.
Centrally Supported grafts (available in EXXCEL™ & EXXCEL™ Soft) have a non-removable, continuous spiral support coil located in the center of the graft's length, to provide additional kink and compression resistance for grafts implanted in a looped configuration for vascular access.
All EXXCEL™ & EXXCEL™ Soft ePTFE Vascular Grafts feature a GUIDELINE™ Stripe to facilitate proper graft alignment.
MICROVEL™ KNITTED DOUBLE VELOUR:
This seamless knitted double velour polyester graft incorporates a lower inner pile for minimal luminal compromise and a higher outer pile to promote perigraft tissue adherence. This graft is soft, pliable, and complies with ease to the host vessel. This graft features CONCENTRICRIMP™ Pleats, which assist in proper length adjustment of the prosthesis and maintenance of an open lumen at the anastomosis, and throughout the entire graft. There is a GUIDELINE™ Stripe to facilitate proper graft alignment. The knitted velour construction of this graft is preferred by surgeons in abdominal and peripheral procedures. Not recommended for thoracic procedures.
WOVEN DOUBLE VELOUR:
This seamless woven polyester graft incorporates a velour inner pile to promote attachment of the pseudointima and a velour outer pile to promote perigraft tissue adherence. The unique woven double velour construction provides soft and supple handling characteristics, while maintaining a low porosity. CONCENTRICRIMP™ Pleats help in proper length adjustment of the prosthesis and maintenance of an open lumen at the anastomosis, and throughout the entire graft, while the two GUIDELINE™ Stripes help provide greater assurance of proper graft alignment. The Woven Double Velour graft is suitable for use in thoracic, abdominal and peripheral procedures.
COOLEY™ VERI-SOFT™:
The COOLEY™ VERI-SOFT™ graft is tightly woven polyester to maintain a low, controlled porosity level for minimal blood loss and high burst strength. This unique design offers significant advantages to heparinized patients or to those with rare blood types or coagulopathies. The soft texture provides a supple graft with enhanced healing characteristics. CONCENTRICRIMP™ Pleats resist kinking, reduce stress on the suture line and assist in proper length adjustment. The intrawoven GUIDELINE™ Stripe aids in graft alignment. The COOLEY™ VERI-SOFT™ woven graft is suitable for use in thoracic and abdominal procedures.

§ 870.3450 Vascular graft prosthesis.
(a)
Identification. A vascular graft prosthesis is an implanted device intended to repair, replace, or bypass sections of native or artificial vessels, excluding coronary or cerebral vasculature, and to provide vascular access. It is commonly constructed of materials such as polyethylene terephthalate and polytetrafluoroethylene, and it may be coated with a biological coating, such as albumin or collagen, or a synthetic coating, such as silicone. The graft structure itself is not made of materials of animal origin, including human umbilical cords.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The special control for this device is the FDA guidance document entitled “Guidance Document for Vascular Prostheses 510(k) Submissions.”
