Intended Use
The Attune™ Adjustable Flexible Annuloplasty Ring is indicated for use in the repair of a mittal or tricuspid valve that is diseased or damaged due to acquired or congenital valvular disease. It is the responsibility of the surgeon to determine that the valve is repairable. The decision to undertake annuloplasty can be made only after visual analysis of the valve pathology. Only surgeons who have received appropriate training should perform valve repair using the Attune™ Adjustable Flexible Annuloplasty Ring
Device Description
The Attune™ Adjustable Flexible Annuloplasty Ring is a fully flexible ring fabricated with a medical grade silicone rubber core surrounded by polyester fabric and containing a suture that will allow adjustment after implantation.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a physical medical device (annuloplasty ring) and its mechanical properties and intended use in surgical repair. There is no mention of software, algorithms, image processing, or any terms related to AI/ML.

Yes

The device is intended for the repair of diseased or damaged valves, which aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device designed to treat a medical condition.

No
The device is an annuloplasty ring used for surgical repair of heart valves. Its function is to physically support the valve, not to diagnose a condition. The "decision to undertake annuloplasty can be made only after visual analysis of the valve pathology," indicating that diagnosis happens prior to the device's use.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical ring fabricated with silicone rubber and polyester fabric, indicating it is a hardware medical device.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Function: The Attune™ Adjustable Flexible Annuloplasty Ring is a physical implant used to repair heart valves. It is surgically placed within the body and does not perform any tests on samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it is for the "repair of a mittal or tricuspid valve." This is a surgical intervention, not a diagnostic test.

The information provided about the device's description, performance studies (tensile strength, suture pullout, etc.), and predicate device (another annuloplasty ring) all confirm its nature as a surgical implant, not an IVD.

Dear Mr. McKelvey:

This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of January 23, 2009.

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.
