The device description and performance studies focus on the physical components and mechanical function of the sling and wound retractor, with no mention of AI or ML.
Yes
The "Virtue Male Sling System" component of this combined device is indicated for the treatment of male stress urinary incontinence, which is a therapeutic purpose.
No
Explanation: The descriptions of both the Virtue Male Sling System and the Alexis Wound Retractor clearly state their intended uses as treatment (implantable support sling for SUI) and surgical access/protection, respectively. Neither device is described as being used to diagnose conditions or impairments.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components made of polypropylene mesh, stainless steel, and plastic, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.
Based on the provided text, neither the Virtue Male Sling System nor the Alexis Wound Retractor are IVDs (In Vitro Diagnostics).
Here's why:
- IVDs are used to examine specimens from the human body. The intended uses and device descriptions clearly indicate that these devices are used on the human body during surgical procedures (implanting a sling, retracting tissue). They do not involve testing or analyzing samples like blood, urine, or tissue outside of the body.
- The descriptions focus on surgical support and access. The Virtue Sling provides structural support, and the Alexis Retractor provides access and protection during surgery. These are not diagnostic functions.
Therefore, these devices are not IVDs. They are surgical devices.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Virtue Male Sling System is an implantable, suburethral support sling indicated for the treatment of male stress urinary incontinence (SUI). The Applied Alexis Wound Retractor is indicated for use to: Access the abdominal cavity during surgery through an atraumatically retracted incision. Deliver maximum exposure of the abdominal cavity with minimum incision. Protect against wound contamination during laparoscopic and open surgery. The smaller two sizes of Alexis are also intended to be used to: Seal off the incision opening to permit insufflating the peritoneum. Convert the incision wound to an additional trocar port site. Access the thoracic cavity or other soft tissue retraction during cardiac and general surgical procedures through an atraumatically-retracted incision.

Device Description
The Coloplast Virtue Male Sling System consists of a polypropylene mesh with four arms. The four arms are each covered with a sleeve and a suture is affixed at each end to allow for attachment to the introducer. The introducer consists of a handle and stainless steel wireform. The device kit (implant plus introducer) is provided sterile and for single use only.
The Alexis Wound Retractor is constructed as a cylindrical membrane sheath that has two rings attached to each open end. The rings are molded in a plastic material. The wound Retractor package includes an incision template. The device is manufactured in four sizes, small, medium, medium-large, and large.
The Coloplast Virtue Male Sling System with Alexis Wound Retractor consists of one Virtue Sling System and one small Alexis Wound Retractor, provided in a single shelf box.

Summary of Performance Studies
The minor design modifications, including a decrease in the mesh body and addition of suture knots were evaluated via design verification testing and simulated use tests in a cadaveric laboratory. These tests confirmed that the Virtue System as modified meets the established design specifications and is substantially equivalent to the predicate. The Virtue System was subjected to biocompatibility testing to support the original 510k (K041711), and since there have been no changes to materials, the previous testing supports the modified Virtue device. In addition, since there were no changes to the sterilization method, SAL, or sterilization parameters, the existing sterilization validation supports the modified Virtue device.
