Intended Use
The GMD Universal Sling is indicated for use in women as a suburethral sling for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) resulting from either urethral hypermobility and/or intrinsic sphincter deficiency.
Device Description
The GMD Universal Sling System ™ – is a sterile, single use device for the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence. The Universal Sling is comprised of a polypropylene knitted mesh protected by a disposable polyurethane sheath with a disposable low density polypropylene universal sleeve at each end for attachment of the sling to GMD's single use or reusable trocars (sold separately). The universal sleeve has three trocar insertion points, the distal and proximal trocar insertion points are for inside-out / bottom-up approaches and a sleeve end trocar insertion point is for outside-in / top-down approaches. The method of placement and surgical approach chosen by the physician should be appropriate for the patient's diagnosis and anatomy.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical properties and surgical placement of a mesh sling, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.

Yes
The device is indicated for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence, which is a medical condition.

No

The device description indicates that the GMD Universal Sling is a surgical implant used for treating stress urinary incontinence, not for diagnosing a condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a sterile, single-use device comprised of a polypropylene knitted mesh and other physical components, indicating it is a hardware medical device.

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 stress urinary incontinence by implanting a suburethral sling. This is a surgical procedure performed on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is a sterile, single-use surgical implant made of polypropylene mesh. It is designed to be physically placed within the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) outside of the body to provide information about a person's health. This device does not involve the analysis of any biological samples.

Therefore, the GMD Universal Sling is a surgical implant, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
