The summary describes a surgical suture and its physical properties and performance characteristics, with no mention of AI or ML.
No
The device is a surgical suture used for tissue approximation and wound support, which aids in healing but does not directly treat a disease or condition itself.
No
The device described is a surgical suture, which is used for tissue approximation and support, not for diagnosing medical conditions.
No
The device description clearly states it is a surgical suture made of polyester polymers, which is a physical, hardware component, not software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices intended for use in vitro for the examination of specimens, including blood, tissue, and urine, from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes.
- Device Description and Intended Use: The description clearly states that this is a surgical suture used for soft tissue approximation. It is implanted directly into the body to hold tissues together during healing.
- Lack of Specimen Examination: There is no mention of this device being used to examine any biological specimens outside of the body. Its function is entirely within the body.
Therefore, the Demetech Absorbable Polydioxanone Surgical Suture is a surgical implant, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
Demetech Absorbable Polydioxanone Surgical Suture is indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation including pediatric cardiovascular tissue where growth is expected to occur and ophthalmic surgery, but not for use in adult cardiovascular, microsurgery and neural tissue. These sutures are useful where absorbable suture with extended wound support (up to six weeks) is desirable.

§ 878.4840 Absorbable polydioxanone surgical suture.
(a)
Identification. An absorbable polydioxanone surgical suture is an absorbable, flexible, sterile, monofilament thread prepared from polyester polymer poly (p-dioxanone) and is intended for use in soft tissue approximation, including pediatric cardiovascular tissue where growth is expected to occur, and ophthalmic surgery. It may be coated or uncoated, undyed or dyed, and with or without a standard needle attached.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The special control for the 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.
