More Information

No
The summary describes a surgical suture and its intended use, with no mention of AI or ML technology. The performance studies focus on compliance with USP requirements for sutures.

No
The device is a surgical suture used for tissue approximation and ligation, which are procedures rather than direct therapeutic treatments.

No
Explanation: The device, CP-Fiber, is described as a synthetic non-absorbable suture used for soft tissue approximation and/or ligation in surgeries. Its intended use is therapeutic (repair/joining tissue) rather than diagnostic (detecting, monitoring, or predicting disease).

No

The device description clearly states that CP-Fiber is a "synthetic non-absorbable suture composed of a braided polyblend," which is a physical hardware component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use of CP-Fiber is for "soft tissue approximation and/or ligation" during surgical procedures. This is a direct surgical intervention on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: It is described as a "synthetic non-absorbable suture." Sutures are used to physically close wounds or tie off vessels during surgery.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Activity: There is no mention of this device being used to analyze samples (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a patient's health status, disease, or condition. This is the core function of an IVD.

IVDs are devices used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens from the human body to provide diagnostic information. CP-Fiber is used in vivo (inside the body) during surgery.

§ 878.5000 Nonabsorbable poly(ethylene terephthalate) surgical suture.

(a)
Identification. Nonabsorbable poly(ethylene terephthalate) surgical suture is a multifilament, nonabsorbable, sterile, flexible thread prepared from fibers of high molecular weight, long-chain, linear polyesters having recurrent aromatic rings as an integral component and is indicated for use in soft tissue approximation. The poly(ethylene terephthalate) surgical suture meets U.S.P. requirements as described in the U.S.P. Monograph for Nonabsorbable Surgical Sutures; it may be provided uncoated or coated; and it may be undyed or dyed with an appropriate FDA listed 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.
