More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a standard surgical mesh made of polyester and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.

Yes
The device is indicated for hernia repair, which is a therapeutic intervention aimed at correcting a medical condition.

No
Explanation: The device, Parietex™ Monofilament Polyester Mesh, is indicated for hernia repair, which is a treatment/surgical function, not a diagnostic one. The description focuses on its material and shape as an implant, not on detecting or identifying a medical condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "non-absorbable bi-dimensional monofilament polyester knitting," which is a physical mesh, not software.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "inguinal and ventral hernia repair." This is a surgical procedure performed in vivo (within the body) to repair a physical defect.
  • Device Description: The device is a "non-absorbable bi-dimensional monofilament polyester knitting." This describes a physical implant used during surgery.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The provided information does not mention any such use or interaction with biological specimens outside the body.

Therefore, the Parietex™ Monofilament Polyester Mesh is a surgical implant, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
