No
The summary describes a mechanical device for tissue approximation and does not mention any AI/ML components or functionalities.

No
A therapeutic device is one that treats or prevents a disease or condition. This device is used for "approximation of soft tissue," which is a surgical procedure, but the device itself isn't treating a disease in a therapeutic sense.

No
The device is described as an "Anchor System" intended for "approximation of soft tissue in open surgical procedures," which points to a surgical/therapeutic function, not diagnosis. There is no mention of diagnostic capabilities, image processing, or AI/ML.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of a "single use delivery device" and "permanently implantable NeoTract Anchors" made of physical materials like nitinol and stainless steel. This indicates a hardware-based medical device, not a software-only one.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "for the approximation of soft tissue in open surgical procedures." This describes a surgical tool used directly on a patient's body during a procedure.
  • Device Description: The device consists of anchors and a delivery system, designed for physical implantation and tissue manipulation.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue samples) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVDs are used in vitro (outside the body) to analyze biological samples. This device is used in vivo (inside the body) during surgery.

§ 878.5000 Nonabsorbable poly(ethylene terephthalate) surgical suture.

(a)
Identification. Nonabsorbable poly(ethylene terephthalate) surgical suture is a multifilament, nonabsorbable, sterile, flexible thread prepared from fibers of high molecular weight, long-chain, linear polyesters having recurrent aromatic rings as an integral component and is indicated for use in soft tissue approximation. The poly(ethylene terephthalate) surgical suture meets U.S.P. requirements as described in the U.S.P. Monograph for Nonabsorbable Surgical Sutures; it may be provided uncoated or coated; and it may be undyed or dyed with an appropriate FDA listed 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.
