Intended Use

The PARIETEX™ OPTIMIZED COMPOSITE MESH is used for the reinforcement of tissues during surgical repair. It is indicated for the treatment of incisional hernias, abdominal wall repair and parietal (i.e. pertaining to the walls) reinforcement of tissues. The non-absorbable three-dimensional polyester mesh provides long term reinforcement of soft tissues. On the opposite side, the absorbable hydrophilic film minimizes tissue attachment to the mesh in case of direct contact with the viscera.

Device Description

PARIETEX™ Optimized Composite Mesh is available in rectangular and round shape. This device is made out of a threedimensional multifilament polyester knit for wall reinforcement, covered with an absorbable, continuous and hydrophilic film on one of its sides. This film is made up of collagen from porcine origin and glycerol, and extends 5 mm over the edge of the reinforcement. One or many non-absorbable color monofilaments are tied to the three-dimensional mesh

AI/ML Overview

The provided text describes the PARIETEX™ Optimized Composite Mesh, a surgical mesh, and its comparison to predicate devices, but it does not contain acceptance criteria or detailed study results for a device that uses AI or machine learning.

In general, information about acceptance criteria and comprehensive study results for AI/ML devices typically includes quantifiable metrics (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, AUC for diagnostic devices; accuracy, precision for other AI applications), thresholds for these metrics, and detailed breakdowns of how these metrics were achieved in various test sets.

The document discusses "performance data" which refers to bench testing and in-vivo animal model testing for the surgical mesh in question, focusing on mechanical properties and reduction of visceral attachment compared to a predicate device. This is a medical device, but not one that employs artificial intelligence or machine learning for diagnostic or predictive purposes, which is what the prompt seems to be geared towards.

Therefore, I cannot fulfill the request as formatted, as the input document does not provide information relevant to AI/ML device performance and acceptance criteria.

If the request is for the acceptance criteria and study general to this surgical mesh (and not specific to AI/ML):

Based on the provided text, here's what can be inferred about the acceptance criteria and studies (non-AI/ML specific):

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

Acceptance Criteria CategorySpecific Criteria (Inferred)Reported Device PerformanceComments
Mechanical StrengthHigher mechanical resistance compared to predicate device."Improved mechanical properties of proposed device versus predicate."Bench testing conducted.
Visceral AttachmentCollagen film minimizes visceral attachment to the mesh, equivalent to predicate."The results demonstrated the performance of the collagen film of PARIETEX™ Optimized Composite Mesh was equivalent to the predicate."In-vivo performance testing on animal model conducted.
Suture ComplianceCompliance with Tensile Strength Suture US Monograph for Dermalon® threads."Confirmation tests on Dermalon® threads were conducted and demonstrated the compliance with the Tensile Strength Suture US Monograph."Confirmed ability to fill the suture function.
Overall PerformancePerforms as well as or better than the legally marketed predicate devices."The results of the nonclinical and pre-clinical tests demonstrate that the device performs as well as or better than the legally marketed predicate devices."

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:

  • Mechanical Testing (Bench): Not specified. Likely involves a sufficient number of devices for statistical analysis of mechanical properties.
  • In-vivo performance testing (Animal Model): Not specified.
    • Data Provenance: The document does not specify the country of origin for the animal study, but the submitter is based in France. The study is prospective in the sense that it evaluates the performance of the new mesh design.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g., radiologist with 10 years of experience):

  • This type of information (expert review for ground truth) is not applicable to the mechanical and animal model studies described for this surgical mesh. The "ground truth" for mechanical properties is typically established by engineering standards and measurements, while for the animal study, it would be direct observation and pathological assessment of visceral attachment by veterinary pathologists or researchers. No specific number or qualifications of such experts are mentioned.

4. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:

  • Not applicable for the types of studies described (bench testing, animal model). Adjudication methods are more commonly used in clinical trials or image-based diagnostic studies involving human interpretation.

5. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance:

  • No, an MRMC study was not done. This device is a surgical mesh, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

  • No, this is not an AI algorithm. Therefore, standalone performance (in the context of AI) is not applicable.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):

  • Bench Testing: Mechanical measurements against engineering standards.
  • In-vivo Performance Testing: Direct histological or gross pathological assessment of visceral attachment in an animal model.

8. The sample size for the training set:

  • Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device that requires a training set.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

  • Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device.

Reason for 510(k) submission:To introduce the PARIETEX™ Optimized Composite mesh which ismade from a three-dimensional multifilament polyester knit coveredwith an absorbable, continuous and hydrophilic film on one side.The multifilament polyester material provides long term wallreinforcement while the hydrophilic film minimizes tissueattachment to the mesh in case of direct contact with the viscera.One or many non-absorbable color monofilament threads are pre-tied to the three-dimensional mesh to facilitate placement andfixation of the mesh. The proposed PARIETEX™ OptimizedComposite Mesh has been improved compared to the predicatedevices as the knitting textile has been modified to obtain a highermechanical resistance of the mesh and the collagen filmformulation has been changed to get a film more resistant to handling.

Summary comparing the technological characteristics of the subject and predicate devices:

Indications for use:

The subject PARIETEX™ Optimized Composite Mesh is equivalent to the predicate devices PARIETEX™ Composite Mesh (K002699, K040998) and Dermalon® suture (K981532) in terms of its technological characteristics and material. The three-dimensional multifilament polyester knit and and monofilament sutures are identical to the predicates. No major technological changes are proposed to the currently marketed devices PARIETEX™ Composite Mesh and Dermalon® suture in this submission.

Performance data: Bench testing was conducted in accordance with FDA's quidance for the Preparation of a Premarket Notification Application for Surgical Mesh to evaluate the performance characteristics of the proposed PARIETEX™ Optimized Composite Mesh. Bench testing for Surgical Mesh included physical characterization and extensive mechanical performance testing with comparison to the predicate PARIETEX™ Composite Mesh. These tests demonstrated improvement of mechanical properties of proposed device versus predicate.

Confirmation tests on Dermalon® threads were conducted and demonstrated the compliance with the Tensile Strength Suture US Monograph. This tests confirmed Dermalon ability to fill the suture function.

In-vivo performance testing on representative animal model was conducted in comparison with predicate to demonstrate the collagen film minimizes visceral attachment to the mesh. The results demonstrated the performance of the collagen film of PARIETEX™ Optimized Composite Mesh was equivalent to the predicate.

The results of the nonclinical and pre-clinical tests demonstrate that the device performs as well as or better than the legally marketed predicate devices.
