The 510(k) summary describes a physical medical device (staple line reinforcement material) and a minor modification (introducer sleeve). There is no mention of software, algorithms, data processing, or any terms related to AI/ML. The focus is entirely on the material and its delivery mechanism.
No.
The device is a staple line reinforcement material, which is a surgical accessory used to reinforce staple lines during various gastrointestinal procedures, not a device that treats or diagnoses a disease.
No
The device is described as a "Staple Line Reinforcement Material" used during surgical procedures to reinforce staple lines. Its function is to provide physical support, not to diagnose a condition.
No
The device description clearly states it is a "Staple Line Reinforcement Material" and includes a "polymer introducer sleeve," indicating it is a physical medical device, not software.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use describes a material used during surgical procedures to reinforce staple lines in soft tissue anastomoses. This is a direct surgical intervention on the patient's body.
- Device Description: The device is a staple line reinforcement material and an introducer sleeve. These are physical tools used in surgery.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
IVD devices are typically used to test samples like blood, urine, or tissue to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. This device is a surgical implant/accessory used directly on the patient during a procedure.

Device Description
This 510(k) is being submitted for a minor modification to the product configuration made to the SEAMGUARD® Bioabsorbable Staple Line Reinforcement Material for use with circular staplers cleared under K053200. The proposed modification that is subject of this 510(k) submission is to include a polymer introducer sleeve as an accessory within the current packaging configuration for use as a tool to facilitate the delivery of the CBSG product through the abdominal wall to bariatric anastomotic sites during laparoscopic procedures. No other changes are being made to the SEAMGUARD device or its packaging as cleared under K053200.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
A variety of tests, assessments, and comparisons demonstrate that the SEAMGUARD® Staple Line Reinforcement Material with optional introducer sleeve for Circular Staplers is substantially equivalent to its predicate in terms of design, intended use, principle of operation, and performance attributes.
Differences between the predicate SEAMGUARD® device and the proposed SEAMGUARD® device with optional sleeve do not raise any significant issues of safety or effectiveness.

Dear Ms. Smith:
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) 276-0115. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97).
