Intended Use
The Biomerix Ventral Hernia Repair Mesh is intended for the reconstruction of hernias and soft tissue deficiencies and for the temporary bridging of fascial defects. The resorbable protective film minimizes tissue attachment to the device in case of direct contact with the viscera.
Device Description
The Biomerix Ventral Hernia Repair Mesh is a sterile, composite mesh comprised of three layers: 1) a thin sheet of the Biomerix Biomaterial™, 2) a layer of knitted polypropylene monofilament fibers and 3) a resorbable lactide-caprolactone film. The resorbable film separates the permanent mesh from underlying tissues and organ surfaces, and it is designed to minimize the risk of a tissue attachment to the device during the wound healing period. The Biomerix Ventral Hernia Repair Mesh is provided sterile for single use and is available as individually packaged thin sheets in various shapes and sizes.

The summary describes a physical surgical mesh device and its materials, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.

No

Explanation: A therapeutic device is used to treat or manage a disease or condition. This device, while used in surgery for repair, is a mesh for reconstruction and physical support, not a therapeutic agent itself that directly heals a condition.

No
The provided text describes a surgical mesh intended for hernia repair and tissue reconstruction, not a device for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical mesh comprised of multiple layers of materials, intended for surgical implantation. It is a hardware medical device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the "reconstruction of hernias and soft tissue deficiencies and for the temporary bridging of fascial defects." This describes a surgical implant used directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The description details a "sterile, composite mesh comprised of three layers" designed to be implanted.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the body, not implanted within the body for structural support or repair.

Summary of Performance Studies

Bench testing, conducted in accordance with FDA's Guidance for the Preparation of a Premarket Notification Application for a Surgical Mesh (issued March 2, 1999), was performed to demonstrate that the device as manufactured meets the performance specifications. Test results demonstrate that the device meets the specifications, performs comparably to predicate devices and is acceptable for clinical use. Biocompatibility testing in accordance ISO 10993-1 standards was conducted, and results demonstrate that the device is biocompatible according to these standards. Animal testing demonstrates that the Biomerix Ventral Hernia Repair Mesh performs equivalently to a predicate device in terms of minimization of tissue attachment to the device and histological response.

Dear Ms. Kichula:

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 application (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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

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.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but nov limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set
