No
The device description and intended use focus on the physical properties and antimicrobial function of an absorbable envelope for implantable nerve stimulators. There is no mention of AI or ML in the provided text.

No
This device is an antibacterial envelope designed to hold implanted neurostimulation devices and reduce infection. It does not directly treat a disease or condition; rather, it supports other therapeutic devices.

No

This device is intended to securely hold nerve stimulators and to reduce infection, not to diagnose medical conditions or diseases.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "fully absorbable, dual component sterile device" constructed of knitted filaments and coated with a polymer mixture containing antimicrobial agents. This describes a physical, implantable medical device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The TYRX Neuro Absorbable Antibacterial Envelope is a physical device designed to hold an implanted medical device (like a nerve stimulator) and release antimicrobial agents to reduce infection at the surgical site. It is implanted in the body, not used to test samples from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for securely holding an implanted device and reducing infection, not for diagnosing or monitoring a condition through testing bodily samples.
  • Device Description: The description details the materials and construction of a physical envelope, not a diagnostic test kit or instrument.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on antimicrobial activity and safety in vivo (in living organisms), not on the accuracy or performance of a diagnostic test.

Therefore, the TYRX Neuro Absorbable Antibacterial Envelope is a medical device, specifically an implantable device with an antimicrobial function, but it does not fit the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic.

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

Animal Studies In vitro studies referenced in the predicate device 510(k). K142611. demonstrated antimicrobial activity against Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Staphylococcus aureus, Acinetobacter baumannii, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus lugdunensis and Escherichia coli. In vivo efficacy testing, referenced in the predicate device 510(k), K142611, demonstrated effectiveness in reducing infections. The bacteria tested were Staphylococcus aureus, Acinetobacter baumannii, Staphylococcus epidermidis and Escherichia coli, Methicillinresistant Staphylococcu aureus (MRSA), and Staphylococcus lugdunensis. It should be noted that the in vivo and in vitro activity of the TYRX TM Antibacterial Envelope antimicrobials is variable against non-epidermidis strains of coagulase-negative Staphylococci. To provide additional evidence on the safety of TYRX Neuro Absorbable Antibacterial Envelope when implanted with neuromodulators, an animal study was conducted to address the question of minocycline diffusion with the TYRX Neuro Antibacterial Envelope (absorbable and nonabsorbable) and possible central nervous system (CNS) effects. The purpose of the study was to determine the concentration of minocycline and rifampin in the plasma and cerebrospinal fluid of sheep implanted with a neuromodulator and a TYRX Neuro Antibacterial Envelope (absorbable or non-absorbable), with or without a lead. The study consisted of four (4) treatment groups: sheep in Group 1 received either a TYRX Neuro Envelope or TYRX Neuro Absorbable envelope with a neuromodulator: sheep in Groups 2 and 3 received either a TYRX Neuro Envelope or TYRX Neuro Absorbable Envelope and neuromodulator and a lead. Sheep in Group 4 were implanted with a single neuromodulator without the TYRX Neuro Envelopes and received oral doses of minocycline and rifampin daily. Each group consisted of 2 sheep and the study duration was for 7 days. The study demonstrated that the TYRX Neuro Absorbable Antibacterial Envelope was safe in the sheep model as assessed by the absence of adverse clinical signs. There were no quantifiable concentrations of minocycline or rifampin in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid samples collected up to 7 days after implantation of the neuromodulator enclosed in the TYRX Neuro Absorbable Antibacterial Envelope, with or without leads. This study demonstrated that the amount of minocycline in CSF and plasma, as a result of the TYRX Neuro Absorbable Antibacterial Envelope implantation, are not detectable and do not pose a significant risk for CNS side effects.

Device Description:

TYRX 110 Neuro Absorbable Antibacterial Envelope is a fully absorbable, dual component sterile device designed to hold a vagus nerve stimulator (VNS), a deep brain stimulator (DBS), a spinal cord neuromodulator (SCN) or a sacral nerve stimulator (SNS) securely to create a stable environment when implanted in the body. It is constructed of knitted filaments of a commercially available absorbable polymer, Glycoprene II, comprised of glycolide, caprolactone and trimethylene carbonate polymer, and coated with an absorbable polyarylate polymer mixture containing the antimicrobial agents rifampin and minocycline. Rifampin and minocvcline have been shown to reduce infection in an in vivo model of bacterial challenge following surgical implantation of an implantable electronic device. This device is to be used in a healthcare facility/hospital by qualified personnel experienced in the procedure of VNS, DBS, SCN, or SNS implantation.

Indications for Use

TYRX ™ Neuro Absorbable Antibacterial Envelope is intended to hold a vagus nerve stimulator. deep brain stimulator, spinal cord neuromodulator, or sacral nerve stimulator securely in order to create a stable environment when implanted in the body.

TYRX "1" Neuro Absorbable Antibacterial Envelope contains the antimicrobial agents rifampin and minocycline which have been shown to reduce infection in an in vivo model of bacterial challenge following surgical implantation of a pulse generator. This device is intended to be used in conjunction with vagus nerve stimulators or deep brain stimulators implanted in the infraclavicular fossa or in conjunction with spinal cord neuromodulators or sacral nerve stimulators implanted laterally to the body midline and slightly superior to the gluteal region.

The only difference between the subject and predicate device is that the subject device has an expanded Indication for Use to include use in conjunction with deep brain stimulators and sacral nerve stimulators.

TYRX™ Neuro Absorbable Antibacterial Envelope is intended for single-patient, one-time use only.

Technological Results

The technological characteristics of the TYRX™ Neuro Absorbable Antibacterial Envelope are identical to the predicate. Both devices have the same intended use which is to create a stable environment for the implanted device.

The TYRX™ Neuro Absorbable Antibacterial Envelope is fully absorbable containing the absorbable Glycoprene II substrate mesh and coated with an absorbable polyarvlate polymer coating containing the antibiotics rifampin and minocycline in concentrations of 102ug/cm².

5

There is no difference in the manufacturing processes for the subject device. The difference is only an extension of the Indications for Use to include use in conjunction with Deep Brain Stimulators or Sacral Nerve Stimulators.

Biocompatability Results

TYRX™ Neuro Absorbable Antibacterial Envelope is supplied sterile, biocompatible, and nonpyrogenic. TYRX follows the ISO 11137 standard for sterility.

Biocompatability testing of the predicate device in accordance with ISO 10993 demonstrated the safety of the subject device.

Animal Studies

In vitro studies referenced in the predicate device 510(k). K142611. demonstrated antimicrobial activity against Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), Staphylococcus aureus, Acinetobacter baumannii, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus lugdunensis and Escherichia coli.

In vivo efficacy testing, referenced in the predicate device 510(k), K142611, demonstrated effectiveness in reducing infections. The bacteria tested were Staphylococcus aureus, Acinetobacter baumannii, Staphylococcus epidermidis and Escherichia coli, Methicillinresistant Staphylococcu aureus (MRSA), and Staphylococcus lugdunensis. It should be noted that the in vivo and in vitro activity of the TYRX TM Antibacterial Envelope antimicrobials is variable against non-epidermidis strains of coagulase-negative Staphylococci.

To provide additional evidence on the safety of TYRX Neuro Absorbable Antibacterial Envelope when implanted with neuromodulators, an animal study was conducted to address the question of minocycline diffusion with the TYRX Neuro Antibacterial Envelope (absorbable and nonabsorbable) and possible central nervous system (CNS) effects. The purpose of the study was to determine the concentration of minocycline and rifampin in the plasma and cerebrospinal fluid of sheep implanted with a neuromodulator and a TYRX Neuro Antibacterial Envelope (absorbable or non-absorbable), with or without a lead.

The study consisted of four (4) treatment groups: sheep in Group 1 received either a TYRX Neuro Envelope or TYRX Neuro Absorbable envelope with a neuromodulator: sheep in Groups 2 and 3 received either a TYRX Neuro Envelope or TYRX Neuro Absorbable Envelope and neuromodulator and a lead. Sheep in Group 4 were implanted with a single neuromodulator without the TYRX Neuro Envelopes and received oral doses of minocycline and rifampin daily. Each group consisted of 2 sheep and the study duration was for 7 days.

The study demonstrated that the TYRX Neuro Absorbable Antibacterial Envelope was safe in the sheep model as assessed by the absence of adverse clinical signs. There were no quantifiable concentrations of minocycline or rifampin in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid samples collected up to 7 days after implantation of the neuromodulator enclosed in the TYRX Neuro Absorbable Antibacterial Envelope, with or without leads. This study demonstrated that the amount of

6

minocycline in CSF and plasma, as a result of the TYRX Neuro Absorbable Antibacterial Envelope implantation, are not detectable and do not pose a significant risk for CNS side effects.

CONCLUSION:

In summary, the TYRX Neuro Absorbable Antibacterial Envelope is identical in terms of physical construct to the cleared predicate, TYRX Neuro Absorbable Antibacterial Envelope. The polymer coating containing the antibiotics rifampin and minocycline in concentrations of 102ug/cm² applied to the substrate remains unchanged. The device is sterile and non-pyrogenic. The implantation site is the same anatomical location as the currently cleared predicate device, the infraclavicular fossa for spinal cord neuromodulators and laterally to the body midline and slightly superior to the gluteal region for the currently cleared vagus nerve stimulators. The only difference is that the subject device has an expanded Indications for Use to include use in conjunction with Deep Brain Stimulators and Sacral Nerve Stimulators.

Based on the 510(k) summaries and the information provided, we conclude that TYRX 110 Neuro Absorbable Antibacterial Envelope is safe and effective for its intended use, and is substantially equivalent to the predicate device TYRX Neuro Absorbable Antibacterial Envelope (K142611).
