Intended Use
The Mentor NovaSilk Mesh is indicated for tissuc reinforcement and long-lasting rne Memor of fascial structures of the pelvic floor in vaginal wall prolapse where surgical treatment is intended, cither as mechanical support or bridging matcrial for the fascial defect.
Device Description
NovaSilk is a permanent, synthetic knitted polypropylenc mesh that is square in shape. It is a sterile, single use device which will be available in quantitics of three.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical and mechanical properties of a surgical mesh, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.

Yes
The device is a mesh indicated for tissue reinforcement and mechanical support in vaginal wall prolapse, which is a therapeutic intervention.

No

Explanation: The device, Mentor NovaSilk Mesh, is described as a permanent, synthetic knitted polypropylene mesh used for tissue reinforcement and bridging fascial defects. Its purpose is mechanical support in surgical treatment, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "permanent, synthetic knitted polypropylene mesh," which is a physical hardware component, not software.

Based on the provided information, the Mentor NovaSilk Mesh is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "tissue reinforcement and long-lasting repair of fascial structures of the pelvic floor in vaginal wall prolapse where surgical treatment is intended." This describes a device used in vivo (within the body) during surgery, not a test performed in vitro (outside the body) on biological samples to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: The description details a "permanent, synthetic knitted polypropylene mesh" that is surgically implanted. This is consistent with a surgical implant, not an IVD.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring specific analytes
    • Providing diagnostic information about a disease or condition

The device is a surgical mesh used for structural support, which falls under the category of medical devices, but not specifically In Vitro Diagnostics.

N/A

Intended Use / Indications for Use

The Mentor NovaSilk Mesh is indicated for tissue reinforcement and long-lasting stabilization of fascial structures of the pelvic floor in vaginal wall prolapse where surgical treatment is intended, either as mechanical support or bridging material for the fascial defect.

§ 884.5980 Surgical mesh for transvaginal pelvic organ prolapse repair.

(a)
Identification. Surgical mesh for transvaginal pelvic organ prolapse repair is a prescription device intended to reinforce soft tissue in the pelvic floor. This device is a porous implant that is made of synthetic material, non-synthetic material, or a combination of synthetic and non-synthetic materials. This device does not include surgical mesh for other intended uses (§ 878.3300 of this chapter).(b)
Classification. Class III (premarket approval).(c)
Date premarket application approval or notice of completion of a product development protocol is required. A premarket application approval or notice of completion of a product development protocol for a device is required to be filed with the Food and Drug Administration on or before July 5, 2018, for any surgical mesh described in paragraph (a) of this section that was in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976, or that has, on or before July 5, 2018, been found substantially equivalent to a surgical mesh described in paragraph (a) of this section that was in commercial distribution before May 28, 1976. Any other surgical mesh for transvaginal pelvic organ prolapse repair shall have an approved premarket application or declared completed product development protocol in effect before being placed in commercial distribution.
