Intended Use
POPmesh™ may be used for the repair of abdominal wall hernia, including inguinal, femoral, and incisional uterovaginal prolapse and other fascial deficiencies that require support material. It may be used in open or laparoscopic abdominal procedures or for repair by the vaginal route.
Device Description
POPmeshTM is a non-absorbable polypropylene mesh constructed from knitted monofilaments of extruded polypropylene. POPmeshTM is constructed using a warp- knit process to a unique design that permits the mesh to be cut into any desired shape or size without unraveling. It maintains excellent isotropic properties arising from its knitted construction. POPmeshTM has the necessary strength, flexibility, durability and surgical adaptability. These properties permit the correct adaptation to the various stresses encountered in the body. The device is supplied sterile.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and intended use clearly describe a physical surgical mesh made of polypropylene, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

Yes
The device is used for the repair of abdominal wall hernia and uterovaginal prolapse, which are medical conditions, and aims to support fascial deficiencies, thus providing a therapeutic benefit to the patient.

No
The device, POPmesh™, is a surgical mesh used for the repair of hernias and fascial deficiencies, and its description highlights its material and construction for physical support and durability, not for detecting, diagnosing, or monitoring medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states that POPmesh™ is a physical mesh constructed from polypropylene, which is a hardware component.

No, 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, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • POPmesh™ Function: POPmesh™ is a surgical mesh intended for the physical repair of hernias and fascial deficiencies. It is implanted into the body to provide structural support.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Activity: The provided description clearly states the device's purpose is for surgical repair and support. There is no mention of it being used to analyze samples or provide diagnostic information.

Therefore, based on the provided information, POPmesh™ is a surgical implant, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
