The summary describes a mechanical endoscopic suturing system and does not mention any AI or ML components.
Yes
The device is described as an "Endoscopic Suturing System" intended for "endoscopic placement of suture(s) and approximation of soft tissue" within the gastrointestinal tract, which directly involves treating or correcting a medical condition.
No
The device is described as an endoscopic suturing system intended for placing sutures and approximating soft tissue, which are therapeutic actions, not diagnostic ones.
No
The device description explicitly lists hardware components such as the Needle Driver Assembly, Anchor Exchange Device, Tissue Helix, Suture Cinch, and Suture Anchor Assembly, made from various physical materials.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for "endoscopic placement of suture(s) and approximation of soft tissue." This describes a surgical procedure performed on the patient's body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body.
- Device Description: The description details a system for suturing within the gastrointestinal tract using an endoscope. This is a medical device used for treatment or repair, not for diagnosing a condition by analyzing a sample.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.
IVD devices are specifically designed to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device's function is entirely procedural and therapeutic.

Dear David Hooper:
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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

| Anchor Assembly devices. All devices are sterile packaged and | |
| designed for single use and are manufactured from various | |
| thermoplastic, silicone, stainless steel and other medical grade | |
| materials. |
OverStitch ESS
The OverStitch ESS is designed for compatibility with dual channel endoscopes. The endcap of the Needle Driver Assembly attaches to the distal end of the endoscope, and the handle attaches to the proximal end. The handle of the Needle Driver Assembly is squeezed to actuate the needle body and exchange the Suture-Anchor Assembly with the Anchor Exchange to perform stitching operations.
4
OverStitch Sx ESS
The OverStitch Sx ESS is designed for compatibility with single channel endoscopes. The ESS is mounted onto the endoscope using silicone straps distributed along the length of the catheter and endcap assembly. The external catheter sheath has two working channels through which the Anchor Exchange and OverStitch accessories can operate, independent of the endoscope channel. The handle of the Needle Driver Assembly is squeezed to actuate the needle body and exchange the proprietary Suture-Anchor Assembly with the Anchor Exchange to perform stitching operations.
OverStitch Tissue Helix
The OverStitch Helix is an optional device that is designed to acquire tissue by rotating the device handle into targeted area until tissue is gathered into the exposed helix coil. The acquired tissue is then pulled into proximity of the needle body to complete the stitching operation.
OverStitch Suture-Anchor Assembly
The OverStitch Suture-Anchor Assembly is comprised of a 510(k) cleared suture product, manufactured from either polydioxanone or polypropylene materials attached to an implantable anchor manufactured from cobalt chrome and stainless steel. The Anchor component is intended to function with the OverStitch ESS devices to perform stitching operations and serves as an anchor to secure suture placement.
OverStitch Suture Cinch
The Overstitch Suture Cinch device is comprised of thermoplastic and stainless steel materials and includes an implantable PEEK Cinch component designed to secure the placement of suture as a final step of an OverStitch procedure. The device functions by squeezing the handle and deploying the PEEK components that press-fit onto the tail end of the suture to maintain suture position in situ.
The OverStitch Endoscopic Suturing System is intended for Indications for Use: endoscopic placement of suture(s) and approximation of soft tissue.
Modifications: The OverStitch Endoscopic Suturing System has been modified to add a new product code option for the OverStitch 2-0 Polypropylene Suture-Anchor Assembly. The remaining components of the system remain unchanged.
