The summary describes a physical medical device (a sling) and its mechanical function, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.
Yes
The device is indicated for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and female urinary incontinence, which describes a therapeutic purpose.
No
The device, a NEEDLELESS SLING, is described as a treatment for stress urinary incontinence, functioning as a vaginal sling to support the urethra and regulate continence. Its purpose is therapeutic, not diagnostic.
No
The device description clearly states it is a "vaginal sling" and uses a "mesh sling," indicating it is a physical implantable device, not software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
- Device Description: The NEEDLELESS SLING is a physical device (a vaginal sling) that is surgically implanted to treat stress urinary incontinence. It does not involve testing samples from the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use is the treatment of a medical condition (stress urinary incontinence) through a physical intervention, not through diagnostic testing.
The description clearly indicates a surgical implant used for treatment, which falls outside the scope of in vitro diagnostics.

Device Description
The NEEDLELESS SLING is included in the sling techniques for the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence. This device is a vaginal sling that permits for the regulation of continence in the female incontinent patient. This system uses a mesh sling, placed under the urethra, that can be regulated during the intervention and just after it to achieve continence. The sling is passed through the endopelvic fascia, creating a fibrosis that supports the mid urethra as a limitation to its descending and thus providing continence.

Device Description:
The NEEDLELESS SLING is included in the sling techniques for the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence. This device is a vaginal sling that permits for the regulation of continence in the female incontinent patient. This system uses a mesh sling, placed under the urethra, that can be regulated during the intervention and just after it to achieve continence. The sling is passed through the endopelvic fascia, creating a fibrosis that supports the mid urethra as a limitation to its descending and thus providing continence.

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 (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 (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.
