No
The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical components and physical properties, with no mention of AI/ML, image processing, or data analysis.

No.
The device is used for soft tissue or prosthetic material approximation during surgical procedures, which is a supportive function rather than directly treating a disease or condition to restore health.

No
The device, neoClose® PDS, is indicated for the approximation of soft tissue or prosthetic material during surgical procedures. It is a surgical tool used for physically joining tissues, not for identifying a disease, condition, or health status.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of physical components: absorbable PDS Anchors and neoClose Drivers, which are hardware.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "approximation of soft tissue or prosthetic material during open or laparoscopic surgical procedures." This describes a surgical device used directly on a patient's body during a procedure.
  • Device Description: The description details absorbable anchors and drivers used to physically manipulate tissue. This is consistent with a surgical implant or fixation device.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze samples (like blood, urine, or tissue) outside of the body to provide diagnostic information about a patient's health status. IVDs are designed for this type of analysis.

Therefore, the neoClose® PDS device falls under the category of a surgical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

V. INDICATIONS FOR USE

neoClose® PDS is indicated for the approximation of soft tissue or prosthetic material during open or laparoscopic surqical procedures.

VI. COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS WITH THE PREDICATE DEVICE

The subject and predicate devices are based on the following technological elements:

  • . Anchors are delivered into the abdominal cavity using a delivery device, and the sutures are tied to achieve approximation
  • A delivery device is used to deliver the Anchor into the abdominal . cavitv

The following differences exist between the subject and predicate devices:

  • A long-term absorbable suture has been introduced for the neoClose . PDS Anchor. All other materials are identical to the neoClose predicate.

VII. Support of Substantial Equivalence

neoSurqical has submitted information on indication for use, design and principle of operation, biocompatibility and performance characteristics to establish that the neoClose device is substantially equivalent to the currently marketed predicate devices. The neoClose device components have the same intended use as the predicate devices identified. Results of testing have demonstrated that no adverse effects were introduced and the physical properties are appropriate for the intended use. In Vitro and Ex Vivo testing were completed.

VIII. CONCLUSIONS

The neoClose PDS Anchor is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices. It has the same intended use and does not raise new questions reqarding safety or effectiveness. It is considered substantially equivalent in safety and effectiveness to the predicate device when used in accordance with the Instructions for Use.
