Intended Use
AIGISRx® N is intended to hold a vagus nerve stimulator securely in order to create a stable environment when implanted in the body. AIGISRx® N contains the antimicrobial agents rifampin and minocycline, which have been shown to reduce infection in an in vivo model of bacterial challenge following surgical implantation of a pulse generator or defibrillator. This device is only intended to be used in conjunction with vagus nerve stimulators implanted in the infraclavicular fossa or anterolateral abdominal wall.
Device Description
AIGISRx® N is a dual component (resorbable and non-resorbable) sterile prosthesis designed to hold a vagus nerve stimulator securely to create a stable environment when implanted in the body. It is constructed of knitted filaments of polypropylene that are coated with a bioresorbable polyarylate polymer containing the antimicrobial agents rifampin and minocycline.
More Information

No
The summary describes a physical implantable device designed to hold a vagus nerve stimulator and release antimicrobial agents. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI or ML.

No
The device is described as a prosthesis designed to hold a vagus nerve stimulator and reduce infection. Its purpose is to create a stable environment and manage infection for another implanted device (vagus nerve stimulator), rather than to provide a therapeutic effect itself.

No
The device is a prosthesis designed to securely hold a vagus nerve stimulator and reduce infection; its intended use does not involve diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "dual component (resorbable and non-resorbable) sterile prosthesis" constructed of "knitted filaments of polypropylene" and a "bioresorbable polyarylate polymer," indicating it is a physical medical device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is designed to "hold a vagus nerve stimulator securely" and "reduce infection in an in vivo model of bacterial challenge following surgical implantation." This describes a device used in the body (in vivo) for structural support and antimicrobial delivery, not a device used outside the body (in vitro) to examine specimens from the body for diagnostic purposes.
  • Device Description: The description details a "sterile prosthesis" constructed of materials designed for implantation and containing antimicrobial agents. This aligns with an implantable medical device, not an IVD.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific analytes, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's condition.

Therefore, AIGISRx® N is an implantable medical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

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

AIGIS N is designed to be a biocompatible, sterile device intended to hold a vagus nerve stimulator securely in order to create a stable environment when implanted in the body. The AIGIS N subject device is identical to the AIGIS predicate device. Information on the cleared predicate device, K063091, is included by reference in this 510(k).

AIGIS is sterile, biocompatible, and non-pyrogenic. Sterility conforms to ISO 11137. and bench testing shows that gamma sterilization has no detrimental effect on the chemical structure or thermal properties of the polypropylene substrate mesh. Standard ISO 10993 testing demonstrated the biocompatibility and safety of the device. An in vivo functionality study showed that AIGIS devices do not alter or interfere with an implantable pacemaker or defibrillator.

Dear Ms. Olinger:

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.
