More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a mechanical device (suture anchor set) and its performance testing, with no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data-driven algorithms.

No
The device is described as a "Gastrointestinal Suture Anchor Set" intended for "anchoring the anterior wall of the stomach to the abdominal wall prior to introduction of interventional catheters." Its function is structural anchoring, a preparatory step, rather than directly treating a disease or therapeutic condition.

No
The device is described as a "Suture Anchor Set" intended for "anchoring the anterior wall of the stomach to the abdominal wall," which is a therapeutic or interventional function, not a diagnostic one. There is no mention of it being used to detect, diagnose, or monitor a medical condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of physical components (introducer needles, anchors, guidewire) and is supplied sterile, 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 examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body (in vitro).
  • Device Function: The Connex Gastrointestinal Suture Anchor Set is a surgical device used to physically anchor the stomach to the abdominal wall. It is used within the body (in vivo) during a procedure.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical procedure for anchoring tissue, not for testing biological samples.
  • Device Description: The description details needles, anchors, and a guidewire – components of a surgical device, not an IVD.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies listed (Tensile Testing, Insertion Testing, Biocompatibility Testing) are relevant to the physical and biological properties of a surgical implant, not the analytical performance of an IVD.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the Connex Gastrointestinal Suture Anchor Set is a surgical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

§ 876.5010 Biliary catheter and accessories.

(a)
Identification. A biliary catheter and accessories is a tubular flexible device used for temporary or prolonged drainage of the biliary tract, for splinting of the bile duct during healing, or for preventing stricture of the bile duct. This generic type of device may include a bile collecting bag that is attached to the biliary catheter by a connector and fastened to the patient with a strap.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The device, when it is a bile collecting bag or a surgical biliary catheter that does not include a balloon component, is exempt from the premarket notification procedures in subpart E of part 807 of this chapter subject to the limitations in § 876.9.
