No
The device description and intended use clearly describe a physical, non-electronic wound retractor. There is no mention of software, data processing, or any technology that would incorporate AI or ML.
No
The device is a wound retractor used to provide access and protect against wound contamination during surgical procedures, which are not therapeutic functions.
No
The Alexis Wound Retractor is used to provide access and protection during surgical procedures, not to diagnose medical conditions.
No
The device description clearly outlines a physical, disposable medical device made of polymer materials with rings and a membrane sheath. It is used for physical retraction and protection during surgery.
Based on the provided information, the Alexis Wound Retractor is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Alexis Wound Retractor Function: The Alexis Wound Retractor is a surgical tool used to physically retract and protect incisions during surgery. It is a mechanical device that interacts directly with the patient's body during a procedure.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes its function in providing access and protecting incisions during surgical procedures, not for analyzing biological specimens.
- Device Description: The description details its physical construction and how it is used to maintain an open incision and protect the wound.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, using reagents, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.
Therefore, the Alexis Wound Retractor falls under the category of a surgical instrument or device used in vivo (within the living body) rather than in vitro (in glass or outside the living body).

§ 878.4370 Surgical drape and drape accessories.
(a)
Identification. A surgical drape and drape accessories is a device made of natural or synthetic materials intended to be used as a protective patient covering, such as to isolate a site of surgical incision from microbial and other contamination. The device includes a plastic wound protector that may adhere to the skin around a surgical incision or be placed in a wound to cover its exposed edges, and a latex drape with a self-retaining finger cot that is intended to allow repeated insertion of the surgeon's finger into the rectum during performance of a transurethral prostatectomy.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The device, when it is an ear, nose, and throat surgical drape, a latex sheet drape with self-retaining finger cot, a disposable urological drape, a Kelly pad, an ophthalmic patient drape, an ophthalmic microscope drape, an internal drape retention ring (wound protector), or a surgical drape that does not include an antimicrobial agent, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 878.9.

JAN 190 2007SUMMARY STATEMENT: The Applied Alexis Wound Retractor (large and extra large size only) is indicated for use to assist in non-urgent cesarean deliveries that are nutine procedures . It is intended to provide incision retraction and to protect against open wound contamination during a cesarean section. It is indicated for use as a surgical retractor for both vertical and transverse incisions.
To perform these functions, Alexis Wound Retractors are constructed as a cylindrical membrane sheath that has two rings attached to each open end. The rings are molded in a plastic material The Wound Retractor package also includes an incision template,
The Wound Retractor is simple to set up and easy to use. A sterile skin marker is used to mark an incision line at the surgery site and the incision is made. The Wound Protecting theath is placed in position through the incision with one ring inside the abdomen. The external ing is placed in traction and folded over itself until it contacts the abdomen. Once securely in place, the Alexis Wound Refractor keeps the incision open during the procedure. The wound protective sheath lines the incision and protects against wound contamination during the procedure,

The Alexis Wound Retractor has been found non-irritant when tested in accordance with ISO 10993, Part I: Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices. The materials used in the manufacturing of the Alexis Wound Retractor have been tested in accordance with applicable standards and was determined to pass tensile strength, elongation, (ASTM D 412) and Tear Strength (ASTM D 624). Functional performance testing has been completed and has passed the required testing.
The Applied Wound Retractor is a disposable, single-use device and is packaged inside a Tyvek/Mylar peel pouch, which is standard packaging material for Applied's products. The packaged product is then placed in an outer product shelf pack.
The Applied Wound Retractor is sterilized using 100% EO. Applied's 100% EO sterilization cycle provides a sterility assurance level of 10°. Sterilization for Applied Medical's EO cycle uses three half-cycle validation runs, which incorporate biological indicators and temperature monitors distributed throughout the load to verify gas penetration and profile temperature distribution. Spore strip biological indicators of Bacillus Airophaeus with a population of 10 are used to monitor routine finished product sterilization loads. Sterilant residue levels will be in compliance with ANSI/AAMI/ISO 10993-7:1995 for limited exposure devices which is 20 mg ethylene oxide and 12 mg ethylene chlorohydrin.
The Alexis Wound Retractor is substantially equivalent to predicate devices in design methodology, principle of operation and clinical utility. The device introduces no new safety or effectiveness issues when used as instructed.

Dear Ms. Blake:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Image /page/2/Picture/10 description: The image is a black and white circular seal. The seal contains the letters "DA" in a bold, sans-serif font in the center. Above the letters, the numbers "1906-1996" are printed. Below the letters, the word "Centennial" is printed in a cursive font. The seal is surrounded by a dotted border and some text that is difficult to read.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at one of the following numbers, based on the regulation number at the top of this letter:
