Intended Use
PDO surgical suture is indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in pediatric cardiovascular tissue where growth is expected to occur and ophthalmic surgery other than contact with comea and/or sclera. PDO Suture is not intended for use in adult cardiovascular tissue, microsurgery or neural tissue. PGA surgical suture is indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in ophthalmic procedures, but not for use in cardiovascular or neural tissue. Fast Absorbing PGA (Trade Name: Vilet Quick): Vilet Quick surgical suture is indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation, including use in ophthalmic procedures, where only short-term wound support is required. Vilet Quick is not intended for use in cardiovascular or neurological procedures. PGCL: PGCL surgical suture is indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, but not for use in cardiovascular or neurological procedures.
Device Description
Riverpoint Medical 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). Available Suture sizes will be standard according to USP 32 requirements (12/0 through 7, depending on suture type).
More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes standard surgical sutures and their intended uses and material properties. There is no mention of any computational or analytical capabilities that would suggest the use of AI or ML.

No.
The device is a surgical suture used to secure tissues or close wounds, which is a supportive function during medical procedures rather than a therapeutic one designed to treat a disease or condition itself.

No

Explanation: The device description clearly states that these are "absorbable surgical sutures" used to "secure tissues together or create wound closures during a surgical procedure or after an injury." This indicates a therapeutic or reparative function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly states it 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:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health. These tests are performed outside of the body.
  • Device Description: The description clearly states that these are "surgical sutures" used to "secure tissues together or create wound closures during a surgical procedure or after an injury." This is a device used within the body during a medical procedure.
  • Intended Use: The intended use describes the application of the sutures in various soft tissues for approximation and ligation. This is a direct surgical intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.

The information provided aligns with the description of a surgical device used for wound closure and tissue repair, which is distinct from an in vitro diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

PDO surgical suture is indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in pediatric cardiovascular tissue where growth is expected to occur and ophthalmic surgery other than contact with comea and/or sclera. PDO Suture is not intended for use in adult cardiovascular tissue, microsurgery or neural tissue.

PGA surgical suture is indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in ophthalmic procedures, but not for use in cardiovascular or neural tissue.
Vilet Quick surgical suture is indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation, including use in ophthalmic procedures, where only short-term wound. support is required. Vilet Quick is not intended for use in cardiovascular or neurological procedures.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Each variety of Riverpoint Medical absorbable sutures has been designed and manufactured to be substantially equivalent to the predicate devices listed for safety and effectiveness. Materials used were selected based on known biocompatibility (per ISO 10993) and established histories of use in the medical device industry for implantable devices, and are identical or substantially equivalent to the materials used in the predicate devices listed. Biocompatibility testing performed on each variety of absorbable sutures within this submission includes the following: Cytotoxicity, Sensitization, Intracutaneous Reactivity, Systemic Toxicity, Genotoxicity - Bacterial Reverse Mutation and Chromosomal Aberration, Bone Marrow Micronucleus, Subchronic Toxicity (4-week, following subcutaneous implantation), Muscle Implantation (12-week).

Riverpoint Medical absorbable sutures have been designed to meet the requirements for diameter, tensile strength, and needle attachment strength as specified within USP 32. Testing is performed on each lot of product to verify that USP requirements have been met prior to release.

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.
