Synthetic absorbable INSORB staples are intended for the subcuticular closure of skin where an absorbable tissue fastener is desired for temporary tissue approximation.

Device Description

INSORB Absorbable Staples are 5 mm in length, 0.8 mm thick, 3.5 mm wide overall, and have cleat tips that are 0.8 mm apart. They are used in conjunction with a manual surgical stapler from Incisive Surgical Inc. (Note: manual surgical stapler is a Class I exempt device pursuant to 21 CFR 878.4800 and is not the primary subject of this submission).

AI/ML Overview

This document is a 510(k) K120373 summary for the Incisive Surgical INSORB® Absorbable Staple. It is a Special 510(k) that seeks to clarify the intended use of the device, stating that the subject device and the predicate device (INSORB Absorbable Staple K090159) are identical. Therefore, this submission does not contain information on new acceptance criteria or a new study.

Here's a breakdown of why the requested information cannot be found in this document:

Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance: Not applicable. The document explicitly states, "The subject device and the predicate device are identical. This Special 510(k) seeks only to more clearly communicate the device's intended use for the subcuticular closure of skin." There are no new performance tests or acceptance criteria because the device is identical to an already cleared predicate.
Sample Size for Test Set and Data Provenance: Not applicable. No new test set or study was conducted for this Special 510(k). The basis of clearance is substantial equivalence to a predicate device.
Number of Experts and Qualifications: Not applicable. No new clinical or performance data requiring expert review was generated for this submission.
Adjudication Method: Not applicable. As no new data requiring adjudication was generated, there is no mention of an adjudication method.
Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study: Not applicable. This type of study is not relevant to a device like an absorbable staple, which is typically evaluated for its physical properties and clinical performance through non-AI-assisted methods.
Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance: Not applicable. This device is an absorbable surgical staple, not an AI or algorithm-based device.
Type of Ground Truth Used: Not applicable. No new Bdata requiring ground truth establishment was used in this Special 510(k).
Sample Size for the Training Set: Not applicable. This device is not an AI/ML product and does not have a "training set."
How Ground Truth for Training Set was Established: Not applicable. See point 8.

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.
