Intended Use
The GMD Universal Urinary Incontinence Sling-1011 is a suburethral sling indicated for use in women for treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) resulting from either urethral hypermobility and/or intrinsic sphincter deficiency. The mesh is placed transvaginally using reusable introducers (sold separately) either through a transobturator or retropubic approach. The use of the device in males and children under 18 years of age is not supported by clinical studies.
Device Description
The GMD Universal Urinary Incontinence Sling™-1011 is a sterile, single use device for the treatment of female Stress Urinary Incontinence. The Universal Urinary Incontinence Sling™ -1011 is comprised of the same polypropylene knitted mesh as its Model 1010 and Model 1012 predicates, protected by the same disposable polypropylene sheath as its Model 1012 predicate with a disposable low density polypropylene universal sleeve at each end made of the same material and similar in design to the sleeve of its Model 1010 predicate, for attachment of the sling to GMD's reusable trocars (sold separately). Similar to both predicates, the Universal Urinary Incontinence Sling™ -- 1011 is used for inside-out / bottom-up and outside-in / top-down approaches. Similar to both predicates, the method of placement and surgical approach chosen by the physician should be appropriate for the patient's diagnosis and anatomy.
More Information

No
The description focuses on the material and design of a surgical sling and its equivalence to predicate devices, with no mention of AI or ML technology.

Yes.
The device is indicated for the treatment of a medical condition (stress urinary incontinence).

No

The device is a suburethral sling used for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI), which is a therapeutic purpose, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly states it is a sterile, single-use device comprised of polypropylene knitted mesh and other physical components, indicating it is a hardware medical device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health. This information is used for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description: The GMD Universal Urinary Incontinence Sling-1011 is a surgical implant (a suburethral sling) used to physically support the urethra to treat stress urinary incontinence. It is placed directly into the body during a surgical procedure.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to treat a physical condition (stress urinary incontinence) by providing mechanical support. It does not involve testing or analyzing biological specimens.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the GMD Universal Urinary Incontinence Sling-1011 is a surgical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

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

Bench and animal studies were performed on the GMD Universal Sling and previously submitted with the premarket notification cleared under K083471. Additional bench testing was performed on the modifications to the Model 1010 predicate incorporated into the Model 1011 sling. Cadaver labs were conducted on the Model 1010 predicate and submitted with K083471, on the Model 1012 predicate and submitted with K101440 and were conducted on the Model 1011 to prove the substantial equivalence of the Model 1011 to its predicates. The data demonstrates that the GMD Universal Urinary Incontinence Sling™-1011 is substantially equivalent to the predicate device(s) and that there is no change in the safety and effectiveness due to the modification.

Comparison to Predicate Devices:

The GMD Universal Urinary Incontinence Sling™-1011 has the same intended use and similar technological characteristics as the predicate devices: GMD Universal Sling™-1010 (K083471) and GMD Universal Sling™-1012 (K101440). The GMD Universal Urinary Incontinence Sling™-1011 is equivalent to the predicates.

Non-Clinical Studies:

Bench and animal studies were performed on the GMD Universal Sling and previously submitted with the premarket notification cleared under K083471. Additional bench testing was performed on the modifications to the Model 1010 predicate incorporated into the Model 1011 sling. Cadaver labs were conducted on the Model 1010 predicate and submitted with K083471, on the Model 1012 predicate and submitted with K101440 and were conducted on the Model 1011 to prove the substantial equivalence of the Model 1011 to its predicates. The data demonstrates that the GMD Universal Urinary Incontinence Sling™-1011 is substantially equivalent to the predicate device(s) and that there is no change in the safety and effectiveness due to the modification.

Conclusion:

The GMD Universal Urinary Incontinence Sling™-1011 has a similar design and the same intended use as the predicates GMD Universal Sling ™-Model 1010 (K083471) and GMD Universal Sling™-1012 (K101440). Biocompatibility testing and the current knowledge of the material provided by scientific literature demonstrated the appropriateness of the device materials for the proposed intended use. Bench and cadaver lab testing demonstrates that the GMD Universal Urinary Incontinence Sling™-1011 has similar mechanical and performance characteristics as the predicate devices as described in Section 13. Therefore, the GMD Universal Urinary Incontinence Sling™-1011 is substantially equivalent.
