Intended Use
KIM (Knotless Incontinence Mesh) is a surgical mesh kit for treatment of female stress urinary incontinence resulting from urethral hyper mobility and / or intrinsic sphincter deficiency.
Device Description
KIM (Knotless Incontinence Mesh) is a sterile, single use surgical mesh kit for the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence resulting from urethral hypermobility and/or intrinsic sphincter deficiency. KIM (Knotless Incontinence Mesh) is composed by a monofilament polypropylene mesh sling and two passers used to pass the sling through the obturator foramens. Polypropylene monofilament traction threads are fixed at each end of the mesh to facilitate the attachment of the passers to the mesh. The passers are used to deliver the sling via the trans-obturator "out-inside" approach. The traction threads are removed after placement of the sling. When placing the mesh, the sling can be adjusted by the surgeon to leave the mesh flat under the urethra, at the proper tension providing extra support to the urethra.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical components and mechanical properties of a surgical mesh kit, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

Yes
The device is described as a surgical mesh kit for the "treatment of female stress urinary incontinence," indicating its therapeutic purpose.

No

The device is a surgical mesh kit used for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence, not for diagnosing it.

No

The device description clearly states it is a surgical mesh kit composed of physical components (mesh sling, passers, traction threads) and is used in a surgical procedure. It is 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 the surgical treatment of female stress urinary incontinence. This involves a surgical procedure to implant a mesh sling.
  • Device Description: The device is a surgical mesh kit, including a mesh sling and passers for implantation.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or compatibility testing. IVDs are typically used in laboratories or point-of-care settings to analyze biological samples.

This device is clearly intended for surgical intervention and not for in vitro diagnostic testing.

510(K) Supplement KIM K103022 12/19/2011

There are differences compared to the predicate devices:

  • 1.- GYNECARE TVT, DESARA MESH SLING and GMD UNIVERSAL SLING are covered by a plastic sheath.
    The differences between the devices do not raise new questions on the safety and effectiveness. We consider the proposed device is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.

Dear Dr. Shideman:

This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of December 20, 2011.

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 (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.

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
