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.

Yes
The intended use states that the device is implanted to reinforce soft tissue where weakness exists, which is a therapeutic action.

No
Explanation: The device, a surgical mesh system, is described as being implanted to reinforce soft tissue, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "series of specialized shapes of surgical mesh made from commercially available polyester suture fibers," indicating a physical, implantable hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to be "implanted to reinforce soft tissue where weakness exists." This describes a device that is surgically placed within the body to provide structural support.
  • Device Description: The device is described as "surgical mesh made from commercially available polyester suture fibers." This is a physical implantable material.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health. The provided description does not mention any interaction with biological specimens or diagnostic testing.

Therefore, the Surgical Mesh System is a surgical implant, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
