Intended Use
The PatchAssist™ device is intended to be used to facilitate the delivery of soft tissue prosthetics during the laparoscopic repair of soft tissue defects (e.g. hernia repair).
Device Description
The PatchAssist™ device is used to facilitate the delivery of mesh during the laparoscopic hernia repair. It is a tray like device that holds the mesh under tension and enables the surgeon to connect the mesh to its proper place. The PatchAssist™ device are manual laparoscopic surgical instrument. The surgeon connects a standard hernia mesh (not part of the device) to the device using a dedicated stapling apparatus, furls the mesh on the device deployment section (as it is a dedicated stapling apparatus), and inserts the device into the abdominal cavity through a standard laparoscopic port (trocar). Once inside the abdominal cavity, the device enables the surgeon to rapidly maneuver the mesh into position over the hernia, over the desired surgical location. The mesh is attached and placing the mesh is connected to the tissue using the same technique as currently performed by the surgeon (e.g., suturing or using fixated tacks). Upon the mesh fixation to the tissue, the surgeon releases the mesh from the device and removes the device from the abdominal cavity leaving the fixated mesh in its desired location. The PatchAssist™ Large is another model of the PatchAssist™ that has a slightly larger deployment frame to facilitate the insertion of large size meshes.

No
The device description and performance studies indicate a manual laparoscopic surgical instrument for mesh delivery, with no mention of AI/ML terms or data processing capabilities.

No.
The device facilitates the delivery of a prosthetic during a surgical procedure, but it does not directly treat or diagnose a condition itself. The therapeutic action comes from the implanted mesh.

No

The device is described as a surgical instrument used to facilitate the delivery and placement of mesh during hernia repair. It assists the surgeon in a procedural task, rather than providing information about the patient's condition or diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "tray like device" and a "manual laparoscopic surgical instrument," indicating it is a physical hardware device used to manipulate mesh.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • PatchAssist™ Function: The PatchAssist™ device is a surgical instrument used during a laparoscopic procedure to facilitate the delivery and placement of a soft tissue prosthetic (mesh) within the body. It does not analyze any biological samples.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "facilitate the delivery of soft tissue prosthetics during the laparoscopic repair of soft tissue defects." This is a surgical function, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description details its use as a manual laparoscopic surgical instrument for handling and positioning mesh within the abdominal cavity.

Therefore, the PatchAssist™ device falls under the category of a surgical instrument or device used in a surgical procedure, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description

The PatchAssist™ device is used to facilitate the delivery of mesh during the laparoscopic hernia repair. The PatchAssist™ device is a hand-held "tray like" device that holds the mesh under laparoscopic view and helps the surgeon to maneuver the mesh to its proper place.

The PatchAssist™ device are manual laparoscopic surgical instrument. The surgeon connects a standard hernia mesh (not part of the device) to the device using a dedicated stapling apparatus and furls the mesh on the device deployment section (as it is outside of the abdominal cavity). Once the mesh is attached to the device it can be inserted into the abdominal cavity through a standard laparoscopic port (trocar). Once inside the abdominal cavity, the device enables the surgeon to rapidly maneuver the mesh into position over the hermiamesh, over the desired surgical location. The mesh is connected to the tissue using the same technique as currently performed by the surgeon (e.g., permanent tacks). Upon its fixation to the tissue, the surgeon releases the mesh from the device and withdraws the device from the abdominal cavity leaving the fixated mesh in its desired location. The PatchAssist™ Large is another model of the PatchAssist™ that has a slightly larger deployment frame to facilitate the insertion of large size meshes.
