The 510(k) summary describes a physical wound closure device and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI or ML.
No
The device is described as a wound closure device used for soft tissue approximation. Therapeutic devices are typically used for treatment or mitigation of a disease, not for direct wound closure.
No
Explanation: The device is indicated for soft tissue approximation, meaning it is used for surgical closure of wounds, not for diagnosing medical conditions.
No
The device description clearly states it is a physical wound closure device made from a copolymer, indicating it is a hardware product, 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 soft tissue approximation where use of an absorbable suture is appropriate." This describes a surgical or procedural use within the body, not a test performed on samples taken from the body (which is the definition of an in vitro diagnostic).
- Device Description: The description details the material and form of a wound closure device (suture), which is consistent with a surgical implant or tool, not an IVD.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.
Therefore, the V-Loc™ 180 absorbable wound closure device is a medical device used for surgical closure, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

§ 878.4493 Absorbable poly(glycolide/l-lactide) surgical suture.
(a)
Identification. An absorbable poly(glycolide/l-lactide) surgical suture (PGL suture) is an absorbable sterile, flexible strand as prepared and synthesized from homopolymers of glycolide and copolymers made from 90 percent glycolide and 10 percent l-lactide, and is indicated for use in soft tissue approximation. A PGL suture meets United States Pharmacopeia (U.S.P.) requirements as described in the U.S.P. “Monograph for Absorbable Surgical Sutures;” it may be monofilament or multifilament (braided) in form; it may be uncoated or coated; and it may be undyed or dyed with an FDA-approved color additive. Also, the suture may be provided with or without a standard needle attached.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The special control for this device is FDA's “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Surgical Sutures; Guidance for Industry and FDA.” See § 878.1(e) for the availability of this guidance document.
