Device Description
The WEGO-PGCL Absorbable Surgical Monofilament Suture is a monofilament, synthetic absorbable suture indicated for use in soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, but not for use in cardiovascular or neurological surgery. The Synthetic Absorbable Suture is composed of poly (glycolide-co-caprolactone) (PGCL): and it is available dyed and undyed (natural). The D&C violet No. 2 (Colour Index Number 60725) is the used colorant for dyed suture. The proposed suture size is 3-0, which is the size identified in the currently recognized United States Pharmacopoeia. The performance of this absorbable sutures complies with United States Pharmacopeia (U.S.P.) monograph requirements for Absorbable Surgical Suture, USP 35<861>, USP 35<871> and USP35 <881>. The Synthetic Absorbable Suture is provided EO sterilized as a single used device.
More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes a standard surgical suture and its material properties, with no mention of AI or ML technology.

Yes
The device is an absorbable surgical monofilament suture used for soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, which are therapeutic medical procedures.

No

This device is an absorbable surgical suture, indicated for tissue approximation and ligation, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly states it is a monofilament, synthetic absorbable suture composed of poly (glycolide-co-caprolactone) (PGCL), which is a physical material, not software. The performance studies also focus on physical properties like diameter, tensile strength, and absorption rate.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation." This describes a surgical procedure performed directly on a patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is a "surgical suture," which is a tool used in surgery.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue samples) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVD devices are used outside the body to analyze samples and provide diagnostic information. This device is used inside the body during surgery.

§ 878.4493 Absorbable poly(glycolide/l-lactide) surgical suture.

(a)
Identification. An absorbable poly(glycolide/l-lactide) surgical suture (PGL suture) is an absorbable sterile, flexible strand as prepared and synthesized from homopolymers of glycolide and copolymers made from 90 percent glycolide and 10 percent l-lactide, and is indicated for use in soft tissue approximation. A PGL suture meets United States Pharmacopeia (U.S.P.) requirements as described in the U.S.P. “Monograph for Absorbable Surgical Sutures;” it may be monofilament or multifilament (braided) in form; it may be uncoated or coated; and it may be undyed or dyed with an FDA-approved color additive. Also, 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.

Dear Ms. Hong:

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.
