Intended Use
ProGrip™ laparoscopic self-fixating mesh is indicated for the reinforcement of soft tissues during repair of inguinal hernia defects by laparoscopic approach.
Device Description
Both the predicate and the proposed mesh are made of knitted monofilament polyester with monofilament polylactic acid resorbable grips on one side and a resorbable film made of collagen from porcine origin and glycerol, on the other side. The grips allow positioning and fixation of the mesh to the surrounding tissue, while the collagen film facilitates mesh handling and deployment. The mesh incorporates a green band to facilitate orientation. The monofilament polylactic acid grips are bioresorbable and provide the fixation of the mesh to surrounding tissue for at least 8 weeks. The polylactic acid grips degrade and resorb in vivo by hydrolysis and are metabolized by the body into CO2 and H2O.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical properties and mechanical performance of the mesh and its components, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

Yes
The device is indicated for the reinforcement of soft tissues during the repair of inguinal hernia defects. This involves treating a medical condition and restoring normal function, which aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device.

No
Explanation: The device is a surgical mesh for reinforcing soft tissues during hernia repair, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly details a physical mesh made of various materials with grips and a film, indicating it is a hardware medical device, not software-only.

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 "reinforcement of soft tissues during repair of inguinal hernia defects by laparoscopic approach." This describes a surgical implant used in vivo (within the body) during a surgical procedure.
  • Device Description: The description details a surgical mesh with resorbable components designed for physical fixation and support of tissue. This is consistent with a surgical implant, not a device used to examine specimens in vitro (outside the body).
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to test or analyze biological specimens (blood, urine, tissue samples, etc.) to provide diagnostic information.

IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health status. This device is a surgical implant used to repair a physical defect.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Bench performance evaluations were completed to verify that the proposed additional sizes of ProGrip™ Laparoscopic Self-Fixating Mesh (16x12cm and 16x14cm) are compatible with 10mm and/or 12mm trocars. Mesh sizes 16x12cm and 16x14cm were chosen for testing due to their worst case configuration regarding trocar passage compared to 15x10cm size.

The tests performed were:

  • Passage through 10mm and/or 12mm trocar
  • Visual inspection after trocar passage
  • Gripping point measurement and comparison with specification (≤27 gripping points for 16x12cm and 16x14cm) after trocar passage.

Bench testing results demonstrate that the proposed additional sizes of Progrip™ Laparoscopic Self-Fixating Mesh are substantially equivalent to the predicate Progrip™ Laparoscopic Self-Fixating Mesh (K142900).

Summary comparing the technological characteristics of the subject and predicate devices:

Both the predicate and the proposed ProGrip™ Laparoscopic Self-Fixating Mesh are knitted monofilament polyester with monofilament polylactic acid resorbable grips on one side and an absorbable film made of collagen from porcine origin and glycerol. on the other side. The intended use and technology of the three additional sizes of ProGrip™ Laparoscopic Self-Fixating Mesh are identical to that of the predicate ProGrip™ Laparoscopic Self-Fixating Mesh.

Performance data:

The materials of the new ProGrip™ Laparoscopic Self-Fixating Mesh references are identical to the predicate ProGrip™ Laparoscopic Self-Fixating Mesh and therefore, the performance data submitted in the predicate ProGrip™ Laparoscopic Self-Fixating Mesh 510k (K142900) applies to the three additional sizes.

ProGrip™ Laparoscopic Self-Fixating Mesh new sizes are composed of biocompatible materials that are in compliance with ISO 10993-1 standard.

As materials and manufacturing processes have not changed, the stability data of the predicate ProGrip™ Laparoscopic Self-Fixating Mesh (K142900) is applicable for the additional sizes of ProGrip™ Laparoscopic Self-Fixating Mesh.

In addition to tests referenced in K142900, bench performance evaluations were completed to verify that the proposed additional sizes of ProGrip™ Laparoscopic Self-Fixating Mesh (16x12cm and 16x14cm) are compatible with 10mm and/or 12mm trocars. Mesh sizes 16x12cm and 16x14cm were chosen for testing due to their worst case configuration regarding trocar passage compared to 15x10cm size.

The tests performed were:

  • Passage through 10mm and/or 12mm trocar ●
  • . Visual inspection after trocar passage
  • Gripping point measurement and comparison . with specification (≤27 gripping points for 16x12cm and16x14cm) after trocar passage.

ProGrip™ Laparoscopic Self-Fixating Mesh

Conclusion:

Bench testing results demonstrate that the proposed additional sizes of Progrip™ Laparoscopic Self-Fixating Mesh are substantially equivalent to the predicate Progrip™ Laparoscopic Self-Fixating Mesh (K142900).
