More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a physical, absorbable staple and a manual stapler, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

No
The device is a synthetic absorbable staple used for the temporary approximation of skin, which is a surgical tool rather than a device for treating or curing a medical condition.

No
Explanation: The device is described as absorbable staples intended for "subcuticular closure of skin where an absorbable tissue fastener is desired for temporary tissue approximation." This indicates a therapeutic or surgical function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical staple and is used in conjunction with a manual surgical stapler, indicating it is a hardware device.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the "subcuticular closure of skin where an absorbable tissue fastener is desired for temporary tissue approximation." This describes a surgical device used directly on the patient's body for tissue closure.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical staple used in conjunction with a surgical stapler.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue samples) outside of the body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment.

IVD devices are used in vitro (in glass, or outside the body) to analyze biological samples. This device is used in vivo (in the body) for surgical closure.

Dear Mr. Herridge:

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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.
