The device description and performance studies focus on the physical properties and mechanical performance of a barbed suture, with no mention of AI or ML technology.
No
The device is a surgical suture used for soft tissue approximation, which falls under general surgical tools rather than a specific therapeutic modality.
No
Explanation: The device, STRATAFIX™ Spiral PDS™ Plus Knotless Tissue Control Device, is indicated for "soft tissue approximation," which is a treatment or surgical function, not a diagnostic one. Its description as an "absorbable device" and "barbed suture material" further confirms its role in closing wounds or incisions, not in identifying diseases or conditions.
No
The device description clearly describes a physical, absorbable surgical suture with barbs and a needle, which is a hardware medical device, not software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is "soft tissue approximation where use of an absorbable suture is appropriate." This describes a surgical procedure performed on the body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body.
- Device Description: The description details a surgical suture with barbs and a loop, designed for physically joining tissues. This is a surgical tool, not a diagnostic test kit or instrument.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific analytes, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device clearly falls outside of that definition.

Device Description
The STRATAFIX™ Spiral PDS™ Plus Device is an antibacterial monofilament, synthetic absorbable device consisting of dyed (violet) polyester, poly(p-dioxanone), the empirical molecular formula of which is (C4HgO3)x. The device contains IRGACARE®* MP (triclosan), a broad spectrum antibacterial agent, at no more than 2360 µg/m. The pigment for the violet dye is D&C Violet No. 2. Polydioxanone polymer has been found to be nonallergenic, nonpyrogenic and elicits only a slight tissue reaction during absorption.
The STRATAFIX™ Spiral PDS™ Plus Knotless Tissue Control Device, Variable Loop Design consists of barbed suture material, armed with a surgical needle on one end and a fixation loop at the opposite end. The STRATAFIX™ Spiral PDSTN Plus Device is designed to anchor with a closed loop at one end and a unidirectional barbed section on the other end. The STRATAFIX™ Spiral PDS™ Plus Device barbs are oriented in one direction to allow tissue approximation without the need to tie surgical knots.
While the formation of barbs in the STRATAFIX™ Spiral PDSTM Plus Device reduces the tensile strength relative to non-barbed suture material of the same size, tying of knots in nonbarbed suture materials also reduces their effective strength. For this reason, the strength of the STRATAFIX™ Spiral PDS™ Plus Device can be compared to USP knot strength of nor-broad sutures. Additionally, USP designations for diameter are used to describe the STRATAFIX™ Spiral PDSTM Plus Device suture material after barbing, except for minor variation in suture diameter with a maximum overage of 0.1 mm.

§ 878.4840 Absorbable polydioxanone surgical suture.
(a)
Identification. An absorbable polydioxanone surgical suture is an absorbable, flexible, sterile, monofilament thread prepared from polyester polymer poly (p-dioxanone) and is intended for use in soft tissue approximation, including pediatric cardiovascular tissue where growth is expected to occur, and ophthalmic surgery. It may be coated or uncoated, undyed or dyed, and with or without a standard needle attached.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The special control for the device is FDA's “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Surgical Sutures; Guidance for Industry and FDA.” See § 878.1(e) for the availability of this guidance document.

Dear Ms. Marshall:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food. Drug. and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
