Intended Use
The device is intended for use as a soft tissue patch to reinforce soft tissue where weakness exists and for the surgical repair of damaged or ruptured soft tissue membranes. Indications for use include the repair of hernias and /or body wall defects which require the use of reinforcing or bridging material to obtain the desired surgical outcome. The device is intended for single patient use only.
Device Description
The proposed device is an implantable surgical mesh comprised of non-crosslinked porcine dermis that has been processed, terminally sterilized and is stored hydrated and ready to use. The proposed device is designed to perform as a scaffold that allows for neovascularization and permits replacement of the device with host tissue. The device in its unopened, undamaged package is sterile.

No
The summary describes a biological implantable mesh and does not mention any computational or analytical capabilities, let alone AI/ML.

No.
The device is a surgical mesh intended to reinforce or bridge soft tissue for conditions like hernias, acting as a scaffold for host tissue replacement, rather than providing direct therapy or treatment of symptoms itself.

No

This device is an implantable surgical mesh intended for reinforcing and repairing soft tissue, functioning as a scaffold for tissue regeneration, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is an "implantable surgical mesh comprised of non-crosslinked porcine dermis," which is a physical, hardware component. The summary focuses on the material properties and biological evaluation of this physical mesh.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for surgical repair of soft tissue defects by implanting a patch. This is a therapeutic and structural function within the body, not a diagnostic test performed on samples outside the body.
  • Device Description: The device is an implantable surgical mesh. IVDs are typically reagents, instruments, or systems used to examine specimens from the human body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information.

The device is clearly intended for surgical implantation and tissue reinforcement, which falls under the category of a medical device, but not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

The biomechanical properties of the proposed and predicate devices were evaluated in a series of in vitro tests. Unimplanted tensile maximum load, burst strength and suture pullout strength were equivalent for the proposed and predicate devices.

The ability of the manufacturing process to inactivate model viruses was evaluated using porcine dermis at the stage in the chemical processing applicable to the chemical being evaluated. The results demonstrate the ability of the process to inactivate viruses with a wide range of characteristics (enveloped and non-enveloped, RNA and DNA, low resistance and high resistance) when used to process porcine dermis for the proposed device.

Pyrogenicity of the device was evaluated using the rabbit pyrogen test on the final sterilized device. The device did not elicit a response. All device lots will be tested to ensure the endotoxin level is
