The 510(k) summary describes a physical medical device (an annuloplasty ring) and its materials, design changes, and non-clinical testing. There is no mention of software, algorithms, image processing, or any terms related to AI or ML.
Yes.
The device is intended for the "correction of mitral insufficiencies or steno-insufficiencies" and is implanted in the body for this therapeutic purpose.
No
The device description indicates that the MEMO 4D is an annuloplasty ring intended for the correction of mitral insufficiencies, functioning as an implant. Its described use is therapeutic (correcting a condition), not diagnostic (identifying or characterizing a condition).
No
The device description clearly outlines a physical annuloplasty ring made of metallic alloy, silicone, and fabric, intended for surgical implantation. It also mentions a disposable holder and accessories, all of which are hardware components. There is no mention of any software component.
Based on the provided text, the MEMO 4D device is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for the correction of mitral insufficiencies or steno-insufficiencies by implanting an annuloplasty ring. This is a surgical intervention performed in vivo (within the living body).
- Device Description: The device is a physical implant (an annuloplasty ring) designed to be surgically placed on the mitral annulus.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any components or functions related to testing samples of human origin (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information about a physiological state, health, or disease.
Therefore, the MEMO 4D device is a surgical implant, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
Memo 4D device is intended for correction of mitral insufficiencies or steno-insufficiencies.
The use of the Memo 4D device is indicated for correction of congenital insufficiencies with dilatation and deformation of the mitral annulus. Type I insufficiencies, with no manifest lesions in the subvalvular apparatus, can be treated with the implant of the annuloplasty ring on its own. For type II insufficiencies, characterised by valve prolapse sustained by elongation/ breakage of the chordae tendineae and papillary muscles, and type III insufficiencies, characterised by partially immobilised leaflets due to the fusion/hypertrophy of the chordae tendineae, the device implantation must be accompanied by corrective valvuloplasty.

Device Description
Like its predicate device (the MEMO 3D ReChord Semirigid Annuloplasty Ring, K142221), the MEMO 4D Semirigid Annuloplasty Ring is supplied as a sterile, non-pyrogenic ring pre-mounted on a disposable holder.
Both the predicate and subject device are manufactured by embedding a superelastic metallic alloy inner core with medical grade silicone.
The resulting silicone sheath around the inner core is then encased within a tubular knitted fabric coated with a thin layer of turbostratic carbon (Carbofilm™). The fabric is then sewn along its length with a Carbofilm™ coated polyester thread.
Both the predicate and subject device feature a fully removable system (i.e., the ReChord System) in the posterior curve of the annuloplasty ring, composed by a series of loops made by a single piece of yellow surgical thread retained in place by a single piece of blue surgical thread.
The ReChord System is designed to provide a temporary reference element to facilitate the sizing of the artificial chord length at the annular plane level when performing replacement of mitral chordae tendineae in concomitance with the implant of the annuloplasty ring.
The following changes were implemented:
The MEMO 4D is available in two new sizes: 40mm and 42mm.
The MEMO 4D features a larger silicone filler layer in the outer portion of the ring, intended to further facilitate ring suturing to the annulus.
A re-shaping of the MEMO 4D annuloplasty ring was implemented for sizes 34 to 42 mm. These sizes maintain the same core cross-sectional diameter and commissure-to-commissure dimension as the predicate MEMO 3D ReChord, but feature a gradual increase of the ring antero-posterior dimension and an out-of-plane "saddle" shape in the anterior ring portion. The ring re-shaping creates a differentiated design for the MEMO 4D with respect to the MEMO 3D ReChord. The design includes a rounder shaped implant to accommodate cases of excess leaflet tissue which may be indicative of degenerative mitral disease.
Minor design changes to the disposable holder to adapt to the modified ring shape and a new injection molding supplier for the holder were also introduced. The MEMO 4D packaging system was redesigned, introducing a double nested blister to replace the polysulfone containers used for the predicate MEMO 3D ReChord.
A complete set of accessories is available separately to properly size the annulus and implant the MEMO 4D annuloplasty ring.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
No clinical testing was conducted in support of the MEMO 4D Semirigid Annuloplasty Ring, as the indications for use are equivalent to those of its predicate device MEMO 3D ReChord. These types of devices have been on the market for many years with proven safety and efficacy of use. The nonclinical testing referred to in this submission supports the substantial equivalence of this device.
Non-clinical testing included:
- computational stress analysis (FEA) and tensile strength testing;
- fatique and durability testing;
- extraction tests for the ReChord System threads and disposable holder;
- biocompatibility testing;
- MRI compatibility testing;
- simulated distribution testing;
- package integrity and microbial barrier test after accelerated ageing;
- simulated use testing.
Suture pull-out, corrosion resistance, and long-term biocompatibility testing were previously conducted on the predicate device MEMO 3D ReChord and remain valid for the MEMO 4D due to similar materials, design and manufacturing technologies.

V. Indications for Use
MEMO 4D device is intended for correction of mitral insufficiencies or stenoinsufficiencies.
The use of the MEMO 4D device is indicated for correction of congenital or acquired mitral insufficiencies with dilatation and deformation of the mitral annulus. Type I insufficiencies, with no manifest lesions in the subvalvular apparatus, can be treated with the implant of the annuloplasty ring on its own. For type II insufficiencies, characterised by valve prolapse sustained by elongation/ breakage of the chordae tendineae and papillary muscles, and type III insufficiencies, characterised by partially immobilised leaflets due to the fusion/hypertrophy of the chordae tendineae, the device implantation must be accompanied by corrective valvuloplasty.

VII. Non-Clinical Performance Data
Sorin Group Italia S.r.l. has conducted verification and validation testing of the MEMO 4D based on the risk analysis for the device.
Non-clinical testing included:
- computational stress analysis (FEA) and tensile strength testing;
- fatique and durability testing;
- extraction tests for the ReChord System threads and disposable holder; ।
- biocompatibility testing;
- MRI compatibility testing;
- simulated distribution testing;
- package integrity and microbial barrier test after accelerated ageing; ।
- simulated use testing.
Suture pull-out, corrosion resistance, and long-term biocompatibility testing were previously conducted on the predicate device MEMO 3D ReChord and remain valid for the MEMO 4D due to similar materials, design and manufacturing technologies.
Clinical Performance Data VIII.
No clinical testing was conducted in support of the MEMO 4D Semirigid Annuloplasty Ring, as the indications for use are equivalent to those of its predicate device MEMO 3D ReChord. These types of devices have been on the market for many years with proven safety and efficacy of use. The nonclinical testing referred to in this submission supports the substantial equivalence of this device.
IX. Statement of Substantial Equivalence
The MEMO 4D Semirigid Annuloplasty Ring has been demonstrated as safe and effective for its intended use as the legally marketed predicate device. With respect to intended use and technological characteristics, the MEMO 4D is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate device.
