The device description and performance studies focus on material properties and biocompatibility, with no mention of AI or ML.
No.
The device is a surgical sponge intended to protect neural tissues and absorb fluids during neurosurgical procedures, which are supportive functions rather than direct therapeutic actions like treating a disease or disorder.
No
The device is a surgical sponge intended for protection and absorption during neurosurgical procedures, not for diagnosis.
No
The device description clearly describes a physical surgical sponge made of cotton, polyester, or rayon with a PTFE layer, indicating it is a hardware medical device, not software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to protect neural tissues and absorb fluids during neurosurgical procedures. This is a direct interaction with the patient's body during a surgical intervention.
- Device Description: The device is a surgical sponge, a physical tool used in surgery.
- Lack of Diagnostic Purpose: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze samples (like blood, tissue, or urine) to provide information about a patient's health status, disease, or condition. IVDs are specifically designed for this type of diagnostic testing.
The device described is a surgical tool used for physical manipulation and protection during a medical procedure, not for in vitro diagnostic testing.

Device Description
The device is a non-adherent, strung, x-ray detectable surgical sponge that is sterile and disposable. The American Surgical Sponges (brand) product line is made from cotton, polyester, or rayon in various sizes and shapes and has been first marketed since 1985. The current cleared product line includes the Telfa® Sponges, which are cotton surgical sponges covered on both sides with polyethylene terephthalate. The Telfa® Sponges provide additional stiffness to the neurosurgical sponges. The new proposed addition to the product line includes neurosurgical sponges (cotton, polyester, or rayon) covered on one side with a thin single layer of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) to enhance the material stiffness and non-adherence properties while maintaining flexibility of the sponge. The polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) layer will be provided in a choice of three thicknesses, 0.001", 0.003" or 0.005". The sponges range in size from 6mm × 76mm × 76mm.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Biocompatibility Testing:
PTFE is widely used in medical devices. Biocompatibility testing conducted included Cytotoxicity, Sensitization and Irritation testing. Testing was completed in accordance with FDA's Blue Book Guidance G95-1 ("Use of International Standard ISO-10993, 'Biological' Evaluation of Medical Devices Part 1: Evaluation and Testing' "). The results of the studies demonstrate the lack of toxicity of the device and its biocompatibility for use as a neurosurgical sponge. All studies were conducted in compliance with U.S. Food and Drug Administration Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) regulations set forth in 21 CFR part 58.
Performance Standards:
No performance standards have been promulgated under Section 514 of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act for these devices. However, American Surgical Company conducted peel testing to quantify the amount of force necessary to pull apart the substrate and PTFE layers.
