The summary describes a manually operated suturing device with no mention of AI or ML capabilities, image processing, or data sets for training/testing.

No.
The device is used to perform vascular stitching, which is a surgical procedure to close wounds or connect tissues, not for treating a disease or condition itself.

No
Explanation: The device is indicated for performing vascular stitching, which is a therapeutic rather than diagnostic procedure. There is no mention of it being used to detect, diagnose, or monitor a medical condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a hand-held, manually operated suturing device with physical components like a suture delivery device, suture, and accessory. This indicates it is a hardware device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This information is used for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description: The description clearly states the SRM-Stitch™ 8F is a "hand-held and manually operated suturing device" used for "performing vascular stitching." This is a surgical tool used directly on the patient's body, not for analyzing samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "performing vascular stitching in general surgery." This is a surgical procedure, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.

The device's function is to physically manipulate tissue (suture) within the body, which is the opposite of how an IVD operates.

§ 878.5010 Nonabsorbable polypropylene surgical suture.

(a)
Identification. Nonabsorbable polypropylene surgical suture is a monofilament, nonabsorbable, sterile, flexible thread prepared from long-chain polyolefin polymer known as polypropylene and is indicated for use in soft tissue approximation. The polypropylene surgical suture meets United States Pharmacopeia (U.S.P.) requirements as described in the U.S.P. Monograph for Nonabsorbable Surgical Sutures; it may be undyed or dyed with an FDA approved color additive; and the suture may be provided with or without a standard needle attached.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The special control for this 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.

Technological Characteristics

The SRM-Stitch™ 8F version is hand-held and manually operated suturing devices designed to allow a physician to place a suture to a remote site either directly, through a cannula/introducer, or through a laparascopic access device. The device contains the following components and accessories: a suture delivery device, monofilament polypropylene suture, and a KwiKnot™ accessory. The optional KnotPusher™ accessory has been eliminated from current packaging configuration of SRM-Stitch™ 8F.

Substantial Equivalence

The SRM-Stitch™ 8F has the same intended use and indications for use, principles of operation, and fundamental technological characteristics as the cleared SuperStitch®, except that the SRM-Stitch™ 8F has a reconfigured suture sleeve and a refined guidewire port. The minor modifications to the SRM-Stitch™ do not raise any new questions of safety or effectiveness. Thus, the SRM-Stitch™ 8F is substantially equivalent.
