More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes a physical medical device (a flexible sheet of PVA) and its intended use and performance studies. There is no mention of software, algorithms, data processing, or any terms related to AI or ML.

No
The device acts as a physical barrier to minimize tissue contact between vessels and the spine during surgery, rather than treating a disease or condition.

No
The device is described as a "cover for vessels" used during surgery, specifically designed to minimize tissue contact. Its function is protective and physical, not to identify or determine the nature of a disease or condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a flexible sheet of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) material, which is a physical material, not software.

Based on the provided information, the MiMedx HydroFix™ Vaso Shield is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is clearly stated as a "cover for vessels during anterior vertebral surgery." This is a surgical device used in vivo (within the body) during a surgical procedure.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical sheet of material used as a barrier. It does not describe a test, reagent, instrument, or system intended for use in the examination of specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information.

IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples like blood, urine, tissue, etc., to help diagnose diseases or conditions. The MiMedx HydroFix™ Vaso Shield is a surgical implant/accessory used directly on the patient during surgery.

Substantially Equivalent Devices:

The following devices as substantially equivalent predicate devices listed below.

K090022 Paradis Vaso ShieldTM K100905 HydroFix™ Vaso Shield K101826 HydroFix™ Vaso Shield K101805 HydroFix™ Vaso Shield

The MiMedx HydroFix™ Vaso Shield was shown to be substantially equivalent to a previously cleared device and has the same indications for use, design, function, and/or materials.

Intended Use:

Fusion surgery, Adjacent level surgery, Artificial Disc Implantation, Implant or Hardware Removal, Trauma, Vascular Surgery in the Spine.

Brief Comparison Summary:

To demonstrate substantial equivalence of the MiMedx HydroFix™ Vaso Shield to the predicate devices, technological characteristics and performance criterion were evaluated using in vitro testing as indicated below:

In Vitro Testing

  • Simulated Use .
  • Environmental conditioning testing for 49℃ to 54℃ high temperature exposure limit

The results from these tests demonstrate that the technological characteristics and performance criteria of the MiMedx HydroFix™ Vaso Shield are comparable to the predicate devices and that it can perform in a manner equivalent to devices currently on the market for the same intended use.

Conclusion:

The sponsor believes that the data and information presented in this 510(k) application, including in vitro testing, and numerous device similarities support a determination of substantial equivalence, and therefore market clearance of the MiMedx HydroFix™ Vaso Shield through this 510(k) Premarket Notification.

Dear Ms. Thorsen:

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). You may, therefore, market the device subject to the general controls provisions of the Act and the limitations described below. 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.

The Office of Device Evaluation has determined that there is a reasonable likelihood that this device will be used for an intended use not identified in the proposed labeling and that such use could cause harm. Therefore, in accordance with Section 513(i)(1)(E) of the Act, the following limitation must appear in the Warnings section of the device's labeling and any promotional materials:

The safety and effectiveness of this device for reducing the incidence, severity, and extent of post-operative adhesion formation have not been established.

Furthermore, the indication for use as a cover for vessels during anterior vertebral surgery must be prominently displayed in all labeling, including pouch box, and carton labels, instructions for use, and other promotional materials, in close proximity to the trade name, of a similar point size, and in bold print.
