More Information

Not Found

No
The 510(k) summary describes absorbable sutures, which are physical medical devices used for tissue approximation. There is no mention of software, algorithms, image processing, or any terms related to AI/ML in the provided text.

No
The device, absorbable sutures, is used for soft tissue approximation. While it aids in the healing process, its primary function is mechanical closure and support, not direct treatment of a disease or condition in the way a therapeutic device typically would (e.g., drug delivery, ablation, stimulation).

No
The provided text describes absorbable sutures used for soft tissue approximation. There is no indication that this device is used for diagnosing medical conditions; its function is treatment/repair.

No

The 510(k) summary describes absorbable sutures, which are physical medical devices, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use describes the device as absorbable sutures used for soft tissue approximation. This is a surgical procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics (IVDs) are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.

The description of the device's use clearly falls outside the scope of in vitro testing.

§ 878.4840 Absorbable polydioxanone surgical suture.

(a)
Identification. An absorbable polydioxanone surgical suture is an absorbable, flexible, sterile, monofilament thread prepared from polyester polymer poly (p-dioxanone) and is intended for use in soft tissue approximation, including pediatric cardiovascular tissue where growth is expected to occur, and ophthalmic surgery. It may be coated or uncoated, undyed or dyed, and with or without a standard needle attached.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The special control for the 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. Walls:

·

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

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 set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Pan 801), please go to http://www.fda.gov/AboutFDA/CentersOffices/CDRH/ODRHOffices/ucm1 LS800.htm for the Center for Devices and Radiological Health's (CDRH's) Office of Compliance. Alease note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 (CFR Preu 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to
