Yes
The device, Phasix™ ST Mesh, is indicated for use in the reinforcement of soft tissue, where weakness exists, in procedures involving soft tissue repair, such as for the repair of hernias, which is a therapeutic intervention.
No
The device is a mesh and a positioning system intended for the reinforcement and repair of soft tissue, such as hernias, not for diagnosing conditions.
No
The device is a combination product consisting of a mesh and a positioning system, both of which are physical components. The description details the materials and construction of these hardware elements.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for the "reinforcement of soft tissue, where weakness involving soft tissue repair, such as for the repair of hernias." This describes a surgical implant and delivery system used directly on the patient's body.
- Device Description: The description details a mesh made of resorbable materials and a positioning system for surgical delivery. It describes a physical device used in a surgical procedure.
- 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.
The device is clearly intended for surgical intervention and tissue repair, which falls outside the definition of an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description
The Phasix™ ST Mesh with Echo 2™ Positioning System is a sterile single use mesh preattached to the Echo 2™ Positioning System. The subject device is a combination of the FDA cleared Phasix™ ST Mesh (K173143) and the Echo 2™ Positioning System that is cleared by the FDA in the Ventralight™ ST Mesh with Echo 2™ Positioning System (K170294). The Echo 2™ Positioning System is removed following the mesh placement and fixation. As with the Ventralight™ ST Mesh with Echo 2™ Positioning System (K170294), many sizes of the subject device include an introducer tool accessory.
The subject device is intended for use in the reinforcement of soft tissue, where weakness exists, in procedures involving soft tissue repair, such as for the repair of hernias and will utilize a positioning system to facilitate the delivery and positioning of the mesh during laparoscopic hernia repair.
Procedures involving "laparoscopic hernia repair" also pertain to those which are conducted under laparoscopic visualization through a trocar, such as robotic assisted laparoscopic ventral hernia repair (LVHR).
The Phasix™ ST Mesh in the subject device is a fully resorbable mesh with a resorbable hydrogel coating and is identical to the secondary predicate device, Phasix™ ST Mesh (K173143). It is co-knitted using Poly-4-hydroxybutyrate (P4HB) and Polyglycolic Acid (PGA) fibers to form two sided mesh. The PGA side of the mesh is coated with a bioresorbable, chemically modified sodium hyaluronate (HA), Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) based hydrogel. The fascial P4HB side of the mesh allows for a prompt fibroblastic response through its interstices, allowing for complete tissue ingrowth, similar to P4HB mesh alone. The visceral PGA side of the mesh coated with a bioresorbable hydrogel separates the mesh from underlying tissues and organ surfaces to help minimize tissue attachment to the mesh. Shortly after hydration, the biopolymer coating becomes a hydrated gel that is resorbed from the site in less than 30 days.
Preclinical implantation studies indicate that resorption of the P4HB fibers is minimal throughout the 12 week expected healing period and up to 26 weeks post implantation. Significant degradation of the mesh fibers is observed in preclinical studies within 12 to 18 months, indicating loss in mechanical integrity and strength of the mesh. While fiber segments were observed at 18 months, they continued to degrade.
This Phasix™ ST Mesh (K173143) is preattached to the Echo 2™ positioning system on the hydrogel side of the mesh using nylon connectors. The Echo 2™ Positioning System is composed of nitinol wire, encased in a sealed nylon frame. A Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) center hoisting suture is attached to the nylon frame. The Echo 2™ positioning system utilized in the subject device is identical in materials and construction to the Ventralight™ ST Mesh with Echo 2™ Positioning System (K170294).Once inserted into the abdomen, the positioning system facilitates both deployment and positioning of the mesh. After initial fixation is complete, the Echo 2™ Positioning System is manually detached from the mesh and then removed from the body through a trocar or skin incision.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
The following performance data is provided in support of substantial equivalence determination.
Biocompatibility Testing:
The biocompatibility evaluation for the Phasix™ ST Mesh with Echo 2™ Positioning System was conducted in accordance with the Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff Use of International Standard ISO 10993-1, "Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process" June 16, 2016, and International Standard ISO 10993-1 "Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices – Part 1: Evaluation and Testing within a Risk Management Process," as recognized by the FDA.
The materials used in construction of the Phasix™ ST Mesh, Echo 2™ Positioning System and introducer tool are known to be biocompatible as demonstrated by their safe clinical use and successful clearance by the FDA under K173143 and K170294 respectively. Therefore, these tests were not repeated. However, in order to address any risks associated with the interactions between the Phasix™ ST Mesh and the Echo 2™ Positioning System, the subject device was evaluated using the following tests:
- Cytotoxicity
- Pyrogenicity
- Chemical Characterization.
The biocompatibility test results demonstrate that the subject device is biocompatible and there are no interactions between the Phasix™ ST Mesh and the Echo 2™ Positioning System to affect its safety and effectiveness.
Product Testing:
Phasix™ ST Mesh with Echo 2™ Positioning System passed all the test requirements and its test results demonstrated the substantial equivalence to the test results of the predicate devices. Performance and mechanical testing on the subject device included:
