The summary describes a surgical suture with modified packaging and does not mention any AI or ML capabilities.
Yes
Explanation: The device is a surgical suture used for soft tissue approximation or ligation and ophthalmic surgery, which are therapeutic medical procedures.
No
The device is a surgical suture used for tissue approximation or ligation, which is a treatment/surgical function, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description clearly states it is a "Polysorb* Synthetic Absorbable Suture," which is a physical medical device (suture) with modified packaging. It does not describe a software product.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for "soft tissue approximation or ligation and ophthalmic surgery." This describes a surgical device used directly on a patient's body, not a device used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) outside of the body to diagnose or monitor a condition.
- Device Description: The device is a "surgical suture," which is a physical material used to close wounds or tie off blood vessels during surgery. This is a surgical tool, not a diagnostic test.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies described are "in-vitro studies" to demonstrate the functional performance of the suture itself (how it holds up when pre-wetted), not studies evaluating its ability to detect or measure substances in a biological sample.
IVD devices are specifically designed to be used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens and provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device clearly falls under the category of a surgical device used in vivo (within the body).
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The device is indicated for use in soft tissue approximation or ligation and ophthalmic surgery, but not in cardiovascular or neural tissue.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
In-vitro studies were performed in accordance with the Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Surgical Sutures; Guidance for Industry and FDA, issued on June 3, 2003 to demonstrate that the functional performance of the suture is substantially equivalent to the predicate device when pre-wetted with sterile saline (0.9% NaCl) using the injection port for up to 12 hours at room temperature prior to use.

§ 878.4493 Absorbable poly(glycolide/l-lactide) surgical suture.
(a)
Identification. An absorbable poly(glycolide/l-lactide) surgical suture (PGL suture) is an absorbable sterile, flexible strand as prepared and synthesized from homopolymers of glycolide and copolymers made from 90 percent glycolide and 10 percent l-lactide, and is indicated for use in soft tissue approximation. A PGL suture meets United States Pharmacopeia (U.S.P.) requirements as described in the U.S.P. “Monograph for Absorbable Surgical Sutures;” it may be monofilament or multifilament (braided) in form; it may be uncoated or coated; and it may be undyed or dyed with an FDA-approved color additive. Also, the suture may be provided with or without a standard needle attached.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The special control for this device is FDA's “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Surgical Sutures; Guidance for Industry and FDA.” See § 878.1(e) for the availability of this guidance document.

Dear Mr. Zott:
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 (PMA), 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.
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 (240) 276-0120 Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97).
