No
The summary describes a mechanical device (trocar) and does not mention any software, algorithms, or AI/ML terms.

No
The device is a trocar used to create and maintain a port of entry and facilitate the delivery of sutures and anchors during endoscopic/laparoscopic surgery. It is an surgical instrument rather than a device intended to treat or cure a disease or medical condition.

No

Explanation: The device, a bladeless trocar, is used to create and maintain a port of entry and facilitate suture delivery during endoscopic/laparoscopic surgery. It does not appear to perform any diagnostic functions like detecting, monitoring, or predicting diseases.

No

The device description explicitly states "TroClose1200™ bladeless trocar," which is a physical surgical instrument, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical instrument used to create and maintain a port of entry and deliver sutures during endoscopic/laparoscopic surgery. This is a direct intervention on the body, not a test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a "bladeless trocar," which is a surgical tool.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting diseases or conditions, or providing information for diagnosis in vitro (outside the body).

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment of diseases or conditions. This device's function is entirely within the realm of surgical intervention.

§ 878.4493 Absorbable poly(glycolide/l-lactide) surgical suture.

(a)
Identification. An absorbable poly(glycolide/l-lactide) surgical suture (PGL suture) is an absorbable sterile, flexible strand as prepared and synthesized from homopolymers of glycolide and copolymers made from 90 percent glycolide and 10 percent l-lactide, and is indicated for use in soft tissue approximation. A PGL suture meets United States Pharmacopeia (U.S.P.) requirements as described in the U.S.P. “Monograph for Absorbable Surgical Sutures;” it may be monofilament or multifilament (braided) in form; it may be uncoated or coated; and it may be undyed or dyed with an FDA-approved 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.

Dear Dr. Alpert:

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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you; however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.
