Intended Use
The OPTIFIX™ Absorbable Fixation System is indicated for the approximation of soft tissue and fixation of surgical mesh to tissues during open or laparoscopic surgical procedures, such as hernia repair.
Device Description
The OPTIFIX™ Absorbable Fixation System is a sterile single use device that delivers either 15 or 30 synthetic absorbable fasteners via a straight shaft. The shaft of the OPTIFIX™ Absorbable Fixation System is 39 cm in length. The fasteners are designed with a retention feature on the end and are manufactured from Poly (D, L)-lactide.
More Information

No
The description focuses on the mechanical function and material properties of a surgical fixation system, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" and "Mentions image processing" sections are explicitly marked as "Not Found".

No
The device is used for soft tissue approximation and mesh fixation during surgical procedures, which are mechanical actions rather than therapeutic.

No
The device is described as an absorbable fixation system for approximating soft tissue and fixing surgical mesh, indicating it is used for surgical procedures rather than diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly states it is a sterile single-use device that delivers fasteners via a straight shaft, indicating it is a physical hardware 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 is for the "approximation of soft tissue and fixation of surgical mesh to tissues during open or laparoscopic surgical procedures, such as hernia repair." This describes a surgical device used in vivo (within the body) for mechanical fixation.
  • Device Description: The description details a device that delivers physical fasteners made of an absorbable material. This is consistent with a surgical implant or fixation device, not a diagnostic test performed in vitro (outside the body) on biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device's function is purely mechanical fixation during surgery.
