The summary describes a mechanical device for surgical mesh fixation and does not mention any AI or ML components or capabilities.
No
The device is described as a fixation system used to secure surgical mesh to tissues during open surgical procedures. Its function is mechanical fixation, not direct treatment of a disease or condition for therapeutic effect.
No
The device is described as a fixation system for surgical mesh during open surgical procedures, which indicates it is used for surgical repair and not for diagnosing a condition.
No
The device description clearly states it is a physical device comprised of a deployment component and an absorbable fastener component, and describes its physical characteristics (sterile, single use, curved shaft, length, fastener length, material).
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The device is intended for the "fixation of surgical mesh to tissues during open surgical procedures, such as hernia repair." This is a direct surgical intervention on the patient's body.
- Device Description: The description details a mechanical device for delivering fasteners to tissue.
- 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 screening.
IVD devices are used outside the body to analyze samples and provide diagnostic information. This device is used inside the body during surgery for mechanical fixation.

V. INDICATIONS FOR USE
The OptiFix" Open Absorbable Fixation System is indicated for the fixation of surgical mesh to tissues during open surgical procedures, such as hernia repair.
The Indications for Use statement for the proposed device falls within the indications for use of the predicate device. The proposed and predicate devices have the same intended use.
VI. COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS WITH THE PREDICATE DEVICE
The fixation of surgical mesh to tissues during open surgical procedures, such as hernia repair using the mechanical actuation (trigger) force to guide the fastener and launch the implant is the operating principle for both the proposed and predicate devices.
The proposed and predicate devices are based on the following similar elements:
- Deployment component - mechanical component used to position and launch the fastener (implant) into tissue, consisting of a shaft connected to an ergonomic handle and integrated user-controller trigger.
- Fastener component -absorbable component composed of Poly (D, L)-lactide, used to ● fixate surgical mesh to tissue.
The following differences exist between the proposed and predicate devices:
- The handle configuration of the proposed device is rotated 180° compared to the predicate device
- The deployment shaft of the proposed device is shorter in length (27 cm) compared to the deployment shaft of the predicate device (39cm).
- The deployment shaft of the proposed device has a 35° permanent angle, whereas the ● predicate device has a straight deployment shaft.

Animal Study
Animal studies were not performed on the proposed device for this submission. Based on identical materials and substantially equivalent mechanical strengths measured at the bench level, the in vivo safety and performance of the proposed device was evaluated via the animal and histological studies conducted on the reference devices: Davol Absorbable Fastener System - SorbaFix" (K082396) and OptiFix " Absorbable Fixation System (K132134), which were used to support the predicate OptiFix " Absorbable Fixation System (K142873).
Clinical Studies
Clinical studies were not performed for the submission of this proposed device nor were clinical studies performed for the predicate device.
VIII. CONCLUSIONS
The proposed OptiFix™ Open device is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate device for the following reasons:
- A) The same intended use as the predicate device.
- B) Similar technological characteristics as the predicate device such as: the fastener delivery system, deployment device trigger, and the fastener dimensions, shape/design and material.
- C) The same principle of operation.
The comparative analysis, see Table 5-1 below, as well as the bench and preclinical testing results demonstrate that the proposed OptiFix™ Open device performs as intended and is substantially equivalent to the predicate device that is currently marketed for the same intended use.
