Intended Use
Quill™ PDO Knotless Tissue-Closure Device comprised of Polydioxanone, is indicated for soft tissue approximation where use of an absorbable suture is appropriate.
Device Description
The Quill™ PDO Knotless Tissue-Closure Device, Variable Loop Design (Polydioxanone) is a sterile, synthetic absorbable tissue-closure device that is intended for use in the closure of soft tissue. It is comprised of polyester [poly (p-dioxanone)], dyed with D&C Violet No. 2. The instrument is designed with small uni-directional barbs along the long axis of the suture monofilament which contains a welded primary loop and secondary loop design at the distal end. It is available in diameter Size 2 through 3-0 in various lengths affixed to various needle types.
More Information

No
The summary describes a physical surgical suture device with barbs and loops, and the performance studies focus on tensile strength and needle attachment, not computational analysis or algorithms. There is no mention of AI or ML in the text.

No.
The device is described as a tissue-closure device used for soft tissue approximation, which falls under surgical accessories rather than providing a therapeutic treatment for a disease or condition.

No

The device is indicated for soft tissue approximation (closure) and described as a tissue-closure device. Its function is to approximate tissue, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic purpose.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical tissue-closure device comprised of Polydioxanone with barbs and loops, and it is available in various sizes and lengths affixed to needles. This indicates a hardware 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 is "soft tissue approximation where use of an absorbable suture is appropriate." This describes a surgical procedure performed directly on a patient's body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a surgical suture with barbs and loops, designed for physically closing tissue. This is a mechanical device used in surgery.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in samples
    • Providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status
    • Use in a laboratory setting

The device is clearly intended for direct surgical use on a patient's soft tissue.

Summary of Performance Studies

Non-clinical laboratory performance testing was conducted to confirm that the Quill™ PDO Knotless Tissue-Closure device, Variable Loop Design (Polydioxanone), conforms to the USP monograph for absorbable sutures for tensile strength (as applicable) and needle attachment. This testing was performed in accordance with FDA's Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Surgical Sutures, Issued June 3, 2003. Additional performance testing was conducted in order to demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate device including in vitro post-hydrolysis tensile testing.
The results of this testing demonstrates that the QuillTM PDO Knotless Tissue-Closure device, Variable Loop Design (Polydioxanone), is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

§ 878.4840 Absorbable polydioxanone surgical suture.

(a)
Identification. An absorbable polydioxanone surgical suture is an absorbable, flexible, sterile, monofilament thread prepared from polyester polymer poly (p-dioxanone) and is intended for use in soft tissue approximation, including pediatric cardiovascular tissue where growth is expected to occur, and ophthalmic surgery. It may be coated or uncoated, undyed or dyed, and with or without a standard needle attached.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The special control for the 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.
