No
The summary describes a mechanical fixation device and lacks any mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data-driven performance metrics.

No.
The device is used for fixation of prosthetic material, performing a mechanical and structural function rather than a therapeutic one (e.g., healing, treating disease, or restoring function).

No
The device is indicated for fixation of prosthetic material to soft tissue, which is a therapeutic rather than diagnostic function.

No

The device description and intended use clearly describe a physical device (AbsorbaTack™ and Applicator) used for surgical fixation, not a software-only product.

Based on the provided information, the AbsorbaTack™ and Applicator are not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the fixation of prosthetic material to soft tissue during surgical procedures. This is a direct surgical intervention on the patient's body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) in vitro (outside the body).
    • Providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status, disease, or condition.
    • Using reagents or calibrators.

IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The AbsorbaTack™ and Applicator are a surgical tool used for mechanical fixation within the body.

Dear Ms. Willetts:

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.
