Intended Use
SeriScaffold™ surgical mesh is indicated for use as a transitory scaffold for soft tissue support and repair to reinforce deficiencies where weakness or voids exist that require the addition of material to obtain the desired surgical outcome.
Device Description
SeriScaffold surgical mesh is a knitted, multi-filament, bioengineered, silk mesh. It is mechanically strong, biocompatible, and long-term bioresorbable. SeriScaffold surgical mesh is a sterile, single use only mesh and is supplied in a variety of shapes and sizes ready for use in open or laparoscopic procedures. The device is flexible and well suited for delivery through a laparoscopic trocar due to its strength, tear resistance, suture retention, and ability to be cut in any direction. SeriScaffold surgical mesh provides immediate physical and mechanical stabilization of a tissue defect through the strength and porous (scaffold-like) construction of its mesh.
More Information

No
The description focuses on the material properties and mechanical function of a surgical mesh, with no mention of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is described as a "transitory scaffold for soft tissue support and repair to reinforce deficiencies where weakness or voids exist," which indicates its use in treating or managing a condition, thus making it a therapeutic device.

No

Explanation: The device is described as a surgical mesh used for soft tissue support and repair to reinforce deficiencies, acting as a scaffold. Its purpose is mechanical and structural, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "knitted, multi-filament, bioengineered, silk mesh" and describes its physical properties and use in surgical procedures, indicating it is a physical medical device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that SeriScaffold™ surgical mesh is for "soft tissue support and repair to reinforce deficiencies where weakness or voids exist". This describes a device used in vivo (within the body) during surgery.
  • Device Description: The description details a "knitted, multi-filament, bioengineered, silk mesh" that is "mechanically strong, biocompatible, and long-term bioresorbable". This is consistent with a surgical implant, not a diagnostic test performed on samples in vitro (outside the body).
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific analytes, or providing diagnostic information.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of a disease or condition. SeriScaffold surgical mesh does not fit this description.

Summary of Performance Studies

Results from performance testing based on "Guidance for the Preparation of a Premarket Notification Application for a Surgical Mesh", March 2, 1999 demonstrates substantial equivalence of SeriScaffold surgical mesh to predicate surgical mesh products. Results from an in vitro bioresorption study characterize the bioresorption properties of SeriScaffold surgical mesh versus Vicryl Mesh which support the long-term bioresorption property of SeriScaffold surgical mesh. Biocompatibility was conducted according to internationally recognized standards and all results indicate the device is biocompatible. Data from an in vivo rabbit study further support the bioresorption and biocompatibility properties of the device.

SUBSTANTIALLY EQUIVALENT TO:

SeriScaffold surgical mesh is substantially equivalent to predicate surgical mesh products legally marketed in the United States as follows: Bard Mesh® (pre-amendment), VicryI™ Mesh (K810428), Mersilene™ Mesh (pre-amendment) and Permacol® Surgical Implant (collagen) (K043366). Any minor differences between SeriScaffold surgical mesh and the predicate devices do not introduce new safety or performance issues.

DESCRIPTION of the DEVICE:

SeriScaffold surgical mesh is a knitted, multi-filament, bioengineered, silk mesh. It is mechanically strong, biocompatible, and long-term bioresorbable. SeriScaffold surgical mesh is a sterile, single use only mesh and is supplied in a variety of shapes and sizes ready for use in open or laparoscopic procedures.
