No
The 510(k) summary describes a physical implant and delivery system and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI or ML. The sections specifically looking for mentions of AI, DNN, or ML are marked as "Not Found".

Yes
The Refine™ Support System is indicated for reinforcement of soft tissue, which is a therapeutic intervention aimed at treating or improving a medical condition.

No
Justification: The device's 'Intended Use' states it is "indicated for reinforcement of soft tissue in plastic or reconstructive procedures." This describes a therapeutic or supportive function, not a diagnostic one (e.g., detecting, identifying, or monitoring a disease or condition).

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of a non-absorbable implant (mesh and suture anchor) and a delivery system, 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 "reinforcement of soft tissue in plastic or reconstructive procedures." This describes a surgical implant used directly on the patient's body, not a test performed on samples taken from the body (like blood, urine, or tissue).
  • Device Description: The device is described as a "non-absorbable implant and a delivery system." This further confirms it's a physical device implanted in the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples, detecting substances, or providing diagnostic information based on in vitro testing.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. The Refine™ Support System does not fit this description.

Dear Mr. Benke:

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 application (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.

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 comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
