The device description and performance studies focus on the physical components and mechanical properties of the annuloplasty ring and its temporary reference system. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.
Yes
The device is intended for the "correction of mitral insufficiencies" and "dilatation and deformation of the mitral annulus," which are therapeutic medical conditions.
No
Explanation: The device is an implantable annuloplasty ring intended for the correction of mitral insufficiencies. It is used in surgical procedures and acts as a treatment or correction device, not a device that diagnoses a condition.
No
The device description clearly details a physical annuloplasty ring made of metallic alloy, silicone, and fabric, along with a removable thread system and a disposable holder. This is a hardware device.
Based on the provided information, the MEMO 3D ReChord device is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).
Here's why:
- IVDs are used to examine specimens derived from the human body. The MEMO 3D ReChord device is an implantable medical device intended for surgical correction of mitral valve issues. It is directly implanted into the patient's body and does not involve the analysis of biological samples.
- The intended use and device description clearly describe a surgical implant. The device is a ring designed to be sewn into the mitral annulus during open-heart surgery.
- The performance studies focus on the physical and mechanical properties of the implant and its components. Tests like extraction tests, biocompatibility, tensile strength, fatigue, and simulated use on porcine hearts are typical for implantable devices, not IVDs.
Therefore, the MEMO 3D ReChord device falls under the category of a surgical implant, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
MEMO 3D ReChord device is intended for correction of mitral insufficiencies or steno-insufficiences.
The use of the MEMO 3D ReChord device is indicated for correction of congenital or acquired mitral insufficiencies with dilatation and deformation of the mitral annulus. Type I insufficiencies, with no manifest lesions in the subvalvular apparatus, can be treated with the implant of the annuloplasty ring on its own. For type II insufficiencies, characterised by valve prolapse sustained by elongation/ breakage of the chordae tendineae and papillary muscles, and type III insufficiencies, characterised by partially immobilised leaflets due to the fusion/hypertrophy of the chordae tendineae, the device implantation must be accompanied by corrective valvuloplasty.

Device Description
Like its predicate device (the MEMO 3D Semirigid Annuloplasty Ring, K071327), the MEMO 3D ReChord Semirigid Annuloplasty Ring is supplied as a sterile, non-pyrogenic ring pre-mounted on a disposable holder.
Both the predicate and subject device are manufactured by embedding a superelastic metallic alloy inner core with medical grade silicone.
The resulting silicone sheath around the inner core is then encased within a tubular knitted fabric coated with a thin layer of turbostratic carbon (Carbofilm™). The fabric is then sewn along its length with a Carbofilm™ coated polyester thread.
The MEMO 3D ReChord features a fully removable system (the ReChord System) in the posterior curve of the annuloplasty ring, composed by a series of loops made by a single piece of yellow surgical thread retained in place by a single piece of blue surgical thread.
The ReChord System is designed to provide a temporary reference element to facilitate the sizing of the artificial chord length at the annular plane level when performing the replacement of mitral chordae tendineae in concomitance with the implant of the annuloplasty ring.
Both ReChord System threads end with a knot protruding from the ring surface, which is pulled at the end of the implant procedure to remove the threads from the ring. The annuloplasty ring is attached to a disposable holder (i.e., the two-piece holder) composed of a polysulfone disk and a polyetherimide template.
The disk attaches to a handle accessory and allows device handling, whilst the template keeps the device sufficiently stiff during suturing.
The MEMO 3D ReChord Semirigid Annuloplasty Ring is available in sizes 24 mm through 38 mm, in 2 mm increments. The number of the ReChord System thread loops varies based on the size of the annuloplasty ring: six (6) loops for ring sizes 24-30, eight (8) loops for ring sizes 32-38.
A complete set of accessories instrumentation is available separately to properly size the annulus and implant the annuloplasty ring.

The replacement of mitral chordae tendineae is a
common procedure which is routinely performed
in concomitance with annuloplasty ring implant.

Ring | The MEMO 3D ReChord annuloplasty ring, in its
final implant configuration, is identical to the
predicate device; thus, the safety and

unaffected by the proposed changes.
The additional components introduced on the ring
(i.e. the ReChord System threads) are made of
standard surgical sutures which are removed in
the course of the implant procedure.
The introduction of the disposable two-piece

VII. Non-Clinical Performance Data
Sorin Group Italia S.r.l. has conducted verification and validation testing of the MEMO 3D ReChord based on the risk analysis for the device.
Non-clinical testing included:
- extraction tests for the ReChord System threads and disposable holder;
- biocompatibility testing for the ReChord System thread and disposable holder components;
- simulated distribution testing; and
- simulated use testing (wet lab on isolated porcine hearts).
Ultimate tensile strenght, suture pull-out, rigidity determination, computational stress analysis, fatigue and durability testing, corrosion resistance, biocompatibility on the implanted materials and shelf life testing were previously conducted on the predicate device MEMO 3D and, since the implanted annuloplasty rings are identical, were not repeated for the MEMO 3D ReChord.
VIII. Clinical Performance Data
No clinical testing was conducted in support of the MEMO 3D ReChord Semirigid Annuloplasty Ring, as the indications for use are equivalent to those of its predicate device MEMO 3D.
These types of devices have been on the market for many years with proven safety and efficacy of use. The non-clinical testing referred to in this submission supports the substantial equivalence of this device.
IX. Statement of Substantial Equivalence
MEMO 3D ReChord Semirigid Annuloplasty Ring has been The demonstrated as safe and effective for its intended use as the legally marketed predicate device.
With respect to intended use and technological characteristics, the MEMO 3D ReChord Semirigid Annuloplasty Ring is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate device.
