Intended Use
ProPatch® is indicated for implantation to reinforce soft tissues where weakness exists including, but not limited to: defects of the abdominal and thoracic wall, muscle flap reinforcement, hernias, suture-line reinforcement, and reconstructive procedures. ProPatch® is indicated for the reinforcement, where weakness exists, of soft tissues repaired by sutures or by suture anchors during tendon repair surgery including, but not limited to: reinforcement of rotator cuff, patellar, Achilles, biceps, quadricens, or other tendons.
Device Description
ProPatch Soft Tissue Repair Matrix (ProPatch) is a surgical mesh manufactured from bovine pericardium. Decellularized tissues undergo chemical microbial reduction and viral inactivation processes, are inspected for freedom from defects, packaged, and terminally sterilized via gamma radiation. ProPatch is comprised of a single tissue layer, nominally 0.6 mm thick, and is provided as a sterile and non-pyrogenic product that is fully hydrated and ready for use without the need for rinsing or rehydration prior to implantation.
More Information

No
The summary describes a biological mesh for tissue reinforcement and does not mention any computational or analytical functions that would typically involve AI/ML.

No.
The device is a surgical mesh used to reinforce soft tissues, not to treat a disease or condition in itself.

No

The device description clearly states ProPatch is a "surgical mesh manufactured from bovine pericardium" used for "reinforcing soft tissues where weakness exists," indicating it is a therapeutic implant for repair, not a diagnostic tool.

No

The device description clearly states that ProPatch is a surgical mesh manufactured from bovine pericardium, which is a physical material, not software.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use of ProPatch is for surgical implantation to reinforce soft tissues. This is a therapeutic and structural function within the body.
  • Device Description: The device is a surgical mesh made from bovine pericardium, designed to be implanted.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of this device being used to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or compatibility. IVDs are used outside the body to analyze samples like blood, urine, or tissue.

The information provided clearly describes a surgically implanted medical device, not an in vitro diagnostic product.

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

The equivalence of the biomechanical properties of the proposed device to the predicate device has been demonstrated through testing the characteristics identified below:

  • Tensile Properties the manner in which a material reacts to forces applied in tension.
  • Tear Propagation Resistance - the ability of a material to resist tearing.
  • Bursting Strength the ability of a material to resist bursting due to pressure exerted on the material.
  • Suture Retention Strength - the ability of a material to resist tearing from tension applied to suture that has been passed through the material.

The characteristics outlined above were tested and the biomechanical properties of the proposed device were found to be substantially equivalent to the biomechanical properties of the predicate device.

The decellularization efficiency of the improved process was demonstrated by evaluating the cellular content of finished devices. The decellularization observed was equivalent to that observed in the predicate device. Therefore, the decellularization efficiency of the improved process is equivalent to the process by which the predicate device is manufactured.

In summary, all testing demonstrates that the proposed device has the same technical characteristics as the predicate device.

ProPatch is comprised of a single tissue layer, nominally 0.6 mm thick, and is provided as a sterile and non-pyrogenic product that is fully hydrated and ready for use without the need for rinsing or rehydration prior to implantation.

Equivalence to Predicate Device:

The improved manufacturing process is very similar to the process by which the predicate device is manufactured. However, the improved process utilizes raw material (bovine pericandia) that are packed and shipped to the device manufacturer in a different manner. Additionally, process changes have been made to remove the use of antimicrobials, thereby eliminating concerns of patient sensitivity to potential residuals of these antimicrobials. Despite these minor changes to the process, the technical characteristics of the device are the same.

The equivalence of the biomechanical properties of the proposed device to the predicate device has been demonstrated through testing the characteristics identified below:

  • Tensile Properties the manner in which a material reacts to forces applied in tension.
  • l Tear Propagation Resistance - the ability of a material to resist tearing.
  • Bursting Strength the ability of a material to resist bursting due to pressure ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------exerted on the material.
  • । Suture Retention Strength - the ability of a material to resist tearing from tension applied to suture that has been passed through the material.

The characteristics outlined above were tested and the biomechanical properties of the proposed device were found to be substantially equivalent to the biomechanical properties of the predicate device.

The decellularization efficiency of the improved process was demonstrated by evaluating the cellular content of finished devices. The decellularization observed was equivalent to that observed in the predicate device. Therefore, the decellularization efficiency of the improved process is equivalent to the process by which the predicate device is manufactured.

In summary, all testing demonstrates that the proposed device has the same technical characteristics as the predicate device.

Dear Ms. DiCono:

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.
