The SIS Hernia Graft is intended for implantation to reinforce soft tissues where weakness exists. Indications for use include repair of a hernia or body wall defect. The graft is supplied sterile and intended for one time only use.
The SIS Hernia Graft is composed of multiple layers of a bioabsorbable, extracellular collagen membrane matrix (Small Intestinal Submucosa, SIS) that are held together with a biodegradable suture to improve the device handling characteristics at time of implant. The SIS Hernia Graft is identical in its base material to its predicate SIS Hernia Repair Device (K974540/K062697), also manufactured by Cook Biotech Incorporated. The SIS Hernia Graft is substantially equivalent to its predicate in its technology in that it has the ability to be incorporated into the body. The device is substantially equivalent to its predicate in its intended use for reinforcement and repair of hernias or a body wall defect. The device is packaged in a dried state and supplied sterile in a sealed double pouch system.
The provided document describes the 510(k) premarket notification for the "SIS Hernia Graft." This document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device rather than presenting a study with specific acceptance criteria and detailed device performance metrics in the way one might find for a novel diagnostic or AI-driven device.
Therefore, many of the requested details about acceptance criteria, specific performance metrics, sample sizes for test/training sets, expert consensus, and reader studies are not applicable or not provided in this type of regulatory submission.
However, I can extract the relevant information and structure it as much as possible according to your request categories, noting where information is not available from the provided text.
Acceptance Criteria and Device Performance (Based on Substantial Equivalence)
The acceptance criteria for this 510(k) submission are fundamentally based on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a previously legally marketed device (the predicate device). This means the device must meet similar performance standards and safety profiles as the predicate. The "performance" is demonstrated through various tests and comparisons rather than numerical thresholds for a specific diagnostic accuracy.
Table 1: Acceptance Criteria (Demonstration of Substantial Equivalence) and Reported Device Performance
| Category | Acceptance Criteria (Implied) | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|---|
| Biocompatibility | Device must meet biocompatibility requirements of ISO 10993-1 standard. | Demonstrated through various tests on sterilized SIS devices (genotoxicity, hemolysis, cytotoxicity, muscle implantation, acute intracutaneous reactivity, skin irritation, ISO sensitization, acute systemic toxicity, pyrogenicity, LAL endotoxins, subchronic systemic toxicity). Results provided evidence that the SIS Hernia Graft meets biocompatibility requirements. |
| Mechanical Strength | Device must provide adequate mechanical strength for its intended application. | Tested for Suture retention strength, Burst strength, Ultimate tensile strength, Tear strength, Stiffness. Results provided evidence that the SIS Hernia Graft provided adequate mechanical strength for its application. |
| Animal Testing (Safety & Biocompatibility) | Device should be well-tolerated, show minimal tissue response, and satisfactory remodeling characteristics. | Study 1 (Pig Hernia Model, 27 days): Device was well tolerated with minimal localized tissue response. Study 2 (Pig Hernia Model, 1 & 6 months): Satisfactory remodeling characteristics with minimal inflammation (used as a control article). Study 3 (Mouse, Angiogenesis): Sutured SIS performed as well as sutureless control SIS with robust vascular penetration. Results show the device is safe and biocompatible in its application. |
| Material Composition | Identical to predicate device. | Porcine small intestinal submucosa (porcine), primarily Types I, III, IV, and VI collagen (constituents of the extracellular matrix). (Identical to predicates K974540 and K062697). |
| Intended Use | Identical to predicate device. | Intended for implantation to reinforce soft tissues where weakness exists, including repair of a hernia or body wall defect. (Identical to predicates K974540 and K062697). |

| Stitching | Addition of biodegradable suture to improve handling, without affecting the SIS material or its characteristics post-resorption. | New Device: Yes (resorbable suture). Predicates: No. (Addition for handling, suture is resorbed without effect on SIS material). |
Additional Information on Studies (Not Directly Applicable/Provided for 510(k))
This 510(k) submission is for a medical device (surgical graft), not a diagnostic algorithm or AI system. Therefore, many of the requested items related to AI/diagnostic study design are not relevant to this type of submission.

The following biocompatibility tests were performed on sterilized SIS devices, which are identical in base material composition to the SIS Hernia Graft (according to the ISO 10993-1 standard):
- Genotoxicity .
- Direct contact in vitro hemolysis .
- Cytotoxicity �
- Muscle implantation .
- Acute intracutaneous reactivity .
- Skin irritation ●
- ISO Sensitization .
- Acute systemic toxicity .
- Pyrogenicity ●
- LAL endotoxins .
- . Subchronic systemic toxicity
The results of these tests provided evidence that the SIS Hernia Graft meets biocompatibility requirements of the ISO standard.
Mechanical Testing
The SIS Hernia Graft material was tested for the following:
- Suture retention strength .
- . Burst strength
- Ultimate tensile strength .
- Tear strength .
- Stiffness test .
The results of the mechanical testing provided evidence that the SIS Hernia Graft provided adequate mechanical strength for its application.
{2}------------------------------------------------
Animal Testing
A study was performed where the SIS Hernia Graft was implanted in a pig hernia model and examined for gross and histopathological results after 27 days. The results show that the device is well tolerated with minimal localized tissue response. A second pig hernia study used the SIS Hernia Graft as a control article and examined one and 6-months post-implant showed satisfactory remodeling characteristics with minimal inflammation. Another animal study in the mouse examined the angiogenesis of the SIS Hernia Graft showed that the sutured SIS performed as well as its sutureless control SIS with robust vascular penetration. The results of the studies show that the device is safe and biocompatible in its application.

While the SIS Hernia Graft is dried differently than the predicate SIS Hernia Repair Device, the SIS material is the same and exhibits similar incorporation and resorption characteristics when implanted. The suture stitching of the SIS Hernia Graft is intended to hold the layers of the device together during the implantation period and is resorbed without any effect on the SIS material.
CONCLUSION: The biocompatibility, mechanical, and animal tests performed on the SIS Hernia Graft show that the device is substantially equivalent to its predicate.
