No
The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical components and biocompatibility, with no mention of AI/ML or related concepts.

No
The device is used to facilitate the delivery of absorbable AutoAnchors through soft tissues during surgery for tissue approximation, which is a surgical tool rather than a therapeutic device that treats or cures a condition.

No
The device, neoClose, is described as facilitating the delivery of absorbable AutoAnchors for soft tissue approximation during surgery, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function.

No

The device description explicitly details physical components (absorbable AutoAnchors, neoClose Drivers) and their function in delivering these anchors through tissue, indicating it is a hardware-based medical device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "facilitate the delivery of absorbable AutoAnchors through soft tissues of the body during endoscopic/laparoscopic surgery." This describes a surgical tool used in vivo (within the body) for tissue approximation.
  • Device Description: The description details a system of absorbable anchors and drivers used to deliver these anchors through tissue layers. This is consistent with a surgical device, not a device used to examine specimens in vitro (outside the body).
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological specimens (blood, urine, tissue samples, etc.), detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on in vitro testing.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. The neoClose device does not fit this description.

III. PREDICATE DEVICE

neoClose Hasson and neoClose Universal (K123280; K131688) This predicate has not been subject to a design-related recall.

IV. DEVICE DESCRIPTION

The neoClose AutoAnchor Pack consists of absorbable AutoAnchors and neoClose Drivers. The neoClose AutoAnchor consists of an absorbable suture attached to an absorbable polymeric anchor. There are two distinct product codes: the neoClose 2 AutoAnchor Pack (NCAA2-U) and the neoClose 4 AutoAnchor Pack (NCAA4-U). The neoClose AutoAnchors and Drivers are provided sterile (EtO).

Each neoClose AutoAnchor is pre-loaded on a neoClose Driver. The neoClose Driver is used to deliver an AutoAnchor through the abdominal wall layers into the abdominal cavity for subsequent soft tissue approximation. The neoClose AutoAnchor and Driver are to be used in conjunction with a neoClose Guide.

  • V. INDICATIONS FOR USE
    neoClose is intended to facilitate the delivery of absorbable AutoAnchors through soft tissues of the body during endoscopic/laparoscopic surgery.

The Indications for Use statement for the neoClose AutoAnchor Pack is identical to the predicate device.

  • VI. COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS WITH THE PREDICATE DEVICE
    Both the subject and predicate devices are used for the delivery of absorbable AutoAnchors into the abdominal cavity for subsequent soft tissue approximation. At a high level, the subject and predicate devices are based on the following same technological elements:

CONFIDENTIAL: DO NOT REPRODUCE WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM NEOSURGICAL

  • . Absorbable AutoAnchors are delivered into the abdominal cavity for subsequent approximation of tissue
  • A neoClose Driver is used to deliver an AutoAnchor into the abdominal . cavity
  • . The neoClose AutoAnchor and Driver are to be used in conjunction with a neoClose Guide

The following differences exist between the subject and predicate devices:

  • The modified neoClose Driver is stiffer than the predicate neoClose Driver ●
  • The modified neoClose Driver has a revised tip design
  • An alternative suture has been introduced for the neoClose AutoAnchor
  • . The packaging has been modified

VII. PERFORMANCE DATA

The following performance data were provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination.

Biocompatibility

A biological evaluation was conducted for the neoClose AutoAnchor Pack in accordance with the FDA Blue Book Memorandum #G95-1 "Use of International Standard ISO 10993, 'Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices - Part 1: Evaluation and Testing" May 1, 1995, and International Standard ISO 10993-1 "Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices – Part 1: Evaluation and Testing Within a Risk Management Process," as recognized by the FDA.

The neoClose AutoAnchor is considered a permanent implant, while the neoClose Driver is considered tissue contacting for a duration that is less than 24 hours.

Bench Testing

Bench Testing was conducted for the neoClose AutoAnchor Pack to demonstrate that it is at least as safe and effective as the predicate device.

VIII. CONCLUSIONS

The neoClose AutoAnchor Pack is considered substantially equivalent to the predicate device. It has the same intended use and does not raise new questions reqarding safety or effectiveness. It is considered at least as safe and effective as the predicate device when used in accordance with the Instructions for Use.
