The summary describes a surgical sling system and instrument, with no mention of AI or ML technology in the intended use, device description, or performance studies.
Yes
The device is intended for the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence, which is a medical condition, making it a therapeutic device.
No
Explanation: The device is a surgical sling system used for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence, not for diagnosing a condition. Its function is to provide physical support, not to analyze or interpret data for medical conclusions.
No
The device description explicitly states it consists of a sling (polymeric mesh) and a surgical instrument (Needle Passer), which are physical hardware components.
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 surgical treatment of female stress urinary incontinence by placing a suburethral sling. This is a surgical procedure performed on a patient's body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body.
- Device Description: The device is a surgical sling and instrument for implantation. This is a medical device used in a surgical setting, not a diagnostic test kit or instrument used to analyze biological samples.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
- Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
- Detecting or measuring substances in biological samples
- Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening
Therefore, the AMS MiniArc Sling System is a surgical implant and instrument, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Dear Mr. Onstad:
This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of January 30, 2008.
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 (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 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
