The description focuses on the material properties and mechanical function of a barbed suture, with no mention of AI or ML.
No
The device is a surgical suture used for tissue approximation, not for treating or diagnosing a specific disease or condition.
No.
The device is a surgical suture used for tissue approximation, not for diagnosing medical conditions.
No
The device description clearly indicates it is a physical suture made of PDO, not a software application.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is "soft tissue approximation where use of an absorbable suture is appropriate." This describes a surgical procedure performed on the body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body.
- Device Description: The description details a surgical suture with barbs for tissue approximation. This is a physical device used in surgery.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific analytes, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. This device does not fit that description.

Device Description
The Quill™ Self-Retaining System (SRS) comprised of PDO is a synthetic absorbable suture available in various suture lengths and needle configurations in USP Sizes 3-0 and 4-0. Each suture has bi-directional barbs along the long axis of the suture strand. Barbs allow for tissue approximation without the need to tie surgical knots.
Quill™ SRS is comprised of dyed (D&C Violet No. 2 per 21 CFR 74.3602) polyester [poly (p-dioxanone)], the empirical molecular formula of which is (C4H6O3)x. Polydioxanone polymer has been found to be nonantigenic, nonpyrogenic and elicits only a slight tissue reaction during absorption.
As with interrupted sutures, if the Quill™ Self-Retaining System (SRS) comprised of PDO breaks, the remaining suture passes will hold the wound edges in approximation.

5. Intended Use of the Device:
Quill" Self-Retaining System (SRS) comprised of PDO is indicated for soft tissue approximation where use of an absorbable suture is appropriate.
6. Characteristics of the device in comparison to those of the predicate devices
Indication for Use and Technology Comparison:
The Quill™ Self-Retaining System (SRS) comprised of PDO is equivalent to the Quill® Synthetic Absorbable Polydioxanone Barbed Suture in its intended use of soft tissue approximation where use of an absorbable suture is appropriate and the technology of using barbs instead of knots to hold the tissue in approximation. The Quill™ Self-Retaining System (SRS) comprised of PDO and the Ethicon PDS II were used in animal studies to assess the capabilities of the barbs to maintain wound approximation as compared to knots.
Material Comparison:
The Quill™ Self-Retaining System (SRS) comprised of PDO is materially equivalent to the predicate devices, Quill® Synthetic Absorbable PDO Barbed Suture and PDS II Synthetic Absorbable Surgical Suture. The Quill" Synthetic Absorbable PDO Barbed Suture and the predicate devices contain similar materials (monofilament fiber, needles & packaging materials), with same or similar EtO sterilization methods.
