Intended Use
RiverBond, RiverSilk, RiverPro, and RiverLon non-absorbable sutures are intended to be used for soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological procedures. HS Fiber non-absorbable suture is indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in cardiovascular procedures, and the use of allograft tissue for orthopedic procedures.
Device Description
Riverpoint Medical non-absorbable surgical sutures are medical devices used to secure tissues together or create wound closures during a surgical procedure or after an injury. They are composed of the applicable suture material and a standard medical grade suture needle as applicable (sutures can be provided without needles as well).
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical properties and USP standards of surgical sutures, with no mention of AI or ML.

No
The device is a non-absorbable surgical suture used for tissue approximation and ligation, which is a structural or supportive function rather than a therapeutic one. It does not actively treat or cure a disease.

No
The device description and intended use state that the non-absorbable sutures are "used to secure tissues together or create wound closures" and "for soft tissue approximation and/or ligation," which are therapeutic actions, not diagnostic.

No

The device description explicitly states the device is composed of suture material and a needle, which are physical components, 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 and/or ligation" during surgical procedures. This is a direct intervention on the body, not a test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The device is described as "medical devices used to secure tissues together or create wound closures during a surgical procedure or after an injury." This aligns with a surgical tool, not a diagnostic test.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. This device does not fit that description.

§ 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.

Dear Mr. Rowley:

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 not limited to: registration and listing (21
