The summary describes a physical surgical suture device and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI or ML.
No.
The device is a medical device for soft tissue approximation (suture), not a therapeutic device that delivers therapy or treatment.
No
Explanation: The device is indicated for soft tissue approximation and closure, functioning as an absorbable suture, not for diagnosing conditions.
No
The device description clearly states it is a physical tissue-closure device made of Polydioxanone monofilament suture material with barbs and a loop. It is a physical implantable 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 "soft tissue approximation where use of an absorbable suture is appropriate." This describes a surgical procedure performed directly on a patient's body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body.
- Device Description: The description details a physical device (suture with barbs and a loop) used for closing tissue. This is consistent with a surgical device, not a diagnostic test.
- Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on the physical properties of the suture (tensile strength, needle attachment) and its equivalence to predicate surgical sutures, not on diagnostic accuracy metrics.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device does not fit that description.

Device Description
The Quill™ Knotless Tissue-Closure Device comprised of PDO (Polydioxanone) is a synthetic absorbable tissue-closure device that is intended for use in the closure of soft tissue. It is comprised of polyester [poly (p-dioxanone)] monofilament suture material, dyed with D&C Violet No. 2. The device is designed with small uni-directional barbs along the length of the device, and a welded loop at the distal end which is used to form the secondary variable loop, used to secure the device at the distal end. The device is available in diameter Size 0 in various lengths affixed to various needle types.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Non-clinical laboratory performance testing was conducted to confirm that the QuillTM Knotless Tissue-Closure Device comprised of PDO (Polydioxanone) conforms to the USP monograph for absorbable sutures for tensile strength (as applicable) and needle attachment. This testing was performed in accordance with FDA's Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Surgical Sutures. Issued June 3, 2003.
The results of this testing demonstrates that the Ouill™ Knotless Tissue-Closure Device comprised of PDO (Polydioxanone) is substantially equivalent in safety and performance to the predicate devices.

§ 878.4840 Absorbable polydioxanone surgical suture.
(a)
Identification. An absorbable polydioxanone surgical suture is an absorbable, flexible, sterile, monofilament thread prepared from polyester polymer poly (p-dioxanone) and is intended for use in soft tissue approximation, including pediatric cardiovascular tissue where growth is expected to occur, and ophthalmic surgery. It may be coated or uncoated, undyed or dyed, and with or without a standard needle attached.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The special control for the device is FDA's “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Surgical Sutures; Guidance for Industry and FDA.” See § 878.1(e) for the availability of this guidance document.

Substantial The Quill™ Knotless Tissue-Closure Device comprised of PDO Equivalence: (Polydioxanone) has the same design and materials as its predicates, including the same intended use, technological characteristics and size ranges as the predicate devices. The intended use is identical to both predicate devices. The material and chemical composition of the proposed device is identical to the predicate Quill Synthetic Absorbable Barbed Suture (K051609). The design of the proposed device is similar to the predicate V-Loc 180 Absorbable Wound Closure Device regarding the uni-directional barbs and the welded loop on the distal end. The technique used for deployment of the device is similar to the predicate V-Loc 180 Absorbable Wound Closure Device (K082662). Performance tests: Non-clinical laboratory performance testing was conducted to confirm that the QuillTM Knotless Tissue-Closure Device comprised of PDO (Polydioxanone) conforms to the USP monograph for absorbable sutures for tensile strength (as applicable) and needle attachment. This testing was performed in accordance with FDA's Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Surgical Sutures. Issued June 3, 2003.
The results of this testing demonstrates that the Ouill™ Knotless Tissue-Closure Device comprised of PDO (Polydioxanone) is substantially equivalent in safety and performance to the predicate devices.

Dear Ms. Stowell:
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) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. 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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you; however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
