The device description and intended use are solely focused on the physical properties and function of surgical sutures and a suture organizer. There is no mention of any computational analysis, data processing, or algorithmic decision-making that would indicate the presence of AI/ML.
Yes.
The device, NextStitch® cardiovascular valve suture, is indicated for use in cardiovascular valve replacement procedures, which are therapeutic in nature. The other sutures described are also used for soft tissue approximation and/or ligation in various medical procedures, including cardiovascular, ophthalmic, and neurological procedures, all of which fall under therapeutic applications.
No
The provided text describes various types of surgical sutures and a suture organizer, all of which are used for approximation, ligation, and organizing in surgical procedures. These devices are therapeutic or assistive during surgery, not for diagnosing conditions.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components made of various materials (polyester, polypropylene, nylon, silk, stainless steel) and accessories like a suture guide. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use/Indications for Use: The intended use clearly states the devices are for "soft tissue approximation and/or ligation" in various surgical procedures. This involves physically joining or tying off tissues within the body.
- Device Description: The description details different types of surgical sutures made from various materials (polyester, polypropylene, nylon, silk, stainless steel) and an accessory for organizing sutures. These are all physical devices used during surgery.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue samples) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment. IVDs typically involve reagents, analyzers, or test kits used outside the body.
The device described is a surgical suture and a suture organizer, which are considered medical devices used in vivo (within the body) during surgical procedures, not in vitro (in glass/outside the body) for diagnostic purposes.

Device Description
Deknatel Nonabsorbable Surgical Sutures are available in five (5) different material options.
-
- Poly(ethylene terephthalate) a polyester fiber.
- The three types of polyester sutures are 'cottony'™ II, 'silky' II POLYDEK, and ● TEVDEK II. 'cottony' II is uncoated polyester suture. 'silky' II POLYDEK® suture has a light coating of Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and TEVDEK II has a heavy PTFE coating.
- . NextStitch Cardiovascular Valve Suture is a combination of 'silky' II POLYDEK and/or TEVDEK II polyester suture. NextStitch is a continuous chain of linked sutures designed to provide an alternative suturing technique for cardiovascular valve replacement procedures.
-
- Polypropylene: DEKLENE II and DEKLENE® MAXX are the two varieties of this material.
-
- NYLON is composed of monofilament synthetic polyamide fiber.
-
- SILK is composed of grade 4A Chinese silk derived from the domesticated species Bombyx mori (B mori) of the family Bombycidae.
-
- STERNOTOMY STAINLESS STEEL sutures are composed of 316 LVM stainless steel.
All sutures are provided in a variety of lengths, with and without needles, and (if applicable) with and without pre-attached pledgets (if applicable).
An accessory that can be used with the Nonabsorbable Surgical Sutures is the Gabbay-Frater Suture Guide which is a convenient suture organizer which keeps suture ends tangle-free.

(a)
Identification. Nonabsorbable poly(ethylene terephthalate) surgical suture is a multifilament, nonabsorbable, sterile, flexible thread prepared from fibers of high molecular weight, long-chain, linear polyesters having recurrent aromatic rings as an integral component and is indicated for use in soft tissue approximation. The poly(ethylene terephthalate) surgical suture meets U.S.P. requirements as described in the U.S.P. Monograph for Nonabsorbable Surgical Sutures; it may be provided uncoated or coated; and it may be undyed or dyed with an appropriate FDA listed color additive. Also, the suture may be provided with or without a standard needle attached.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The special control for this 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.

H. Comparison To Predicate Devices
The proposed Deknatel Nonabsorbable Surgical Sutures have the same technology, indications for use and functional characteristics as the predicate system. The proposed modification is to add a stability claim of 5 years and to transfer the ownership from Genzyme to Teleflex Medical.
I. Materials
All patient contacting materials are in compliance with ISO10993-1.
J. Technological Characteristics
A comparison of the technological characteristics of the proposed Deknatel Nonabsorbable Surgical Sutures and the predicate has been performed. The results of this comparison demonstrate that the Nonabsorbable Surgical Sutures are equivalent to the marketed predicate devices in performance characteristics.
K. Performance Data
Non-clinical real-time aging testing has been performed in accordance with ISO11607-1:2006, Packaging for Terminally Sterilized Medical Devices - Part 1: Requirements for materials, sterile barrier systems and packaging systems and USP (United States Pharmacopeia) 36-NF 31 Sutures - Diameter, Sutures- Needle Attachment, and Tensile Strength in order to verify addition of a 5 year shelf-life of the proposed Deknatel Nonabsorbable Surgical Sutures are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
L. Conclusion
Based upon the comparative test results, the proposed Deknatel Nonabsorbable Surgical Sutures are substantially equivalent in performance to the predicate devices cleared to market via 510(k)s K021019. K001440. K930738 and K802093.
