Intended Use
Dextile™ Anatomical Mesh is intended to be used for the reinforcement of soft tissues where weakness exists during repair of inguinal hernia by laparoscopic approach.
Device Description
Dextile™ Anatomical Mesh is designed to be placed in a pre-peritoneal site by laparoscopic approach. The device has an anatomical shape with sealed edges allowing coverage of inguinal hernia defects and facilitating laparoscopic mesh deployment and handling. The mesh is made of a non-absorbable macroporous monofilament polypropylene textile. A green marking is placed on the medial side of the mesh to help positioning and orienting the mesh: "ML" letters designate Medial Line. The green marking is made of monofilament polyester yarn. The "D&C Green No. 6" dye is used for the marking.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical properties and biological integration of a surgical mesh, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

Yes

The device, Dextile™ Anatomical Mesh, is intended for the reinforcement of soft tissues during repair of inguinal hernia. This acts to treat a medical condition and restore function, classifying it as a therapeutic device.

No
The device is a surgical mesh intended for reinforcement of soft tissues during hernia repair, which is a treatment, not a diagnostic, function.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical mesh made of polypropylene textile, intended for surgical implantation. It is a hardware device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the "reinforcement of soft tissues where weakness exists during repair of inguinal hernia by laparoscopic approach." This describes a surgical implant used directly on the patient's body during a procedure.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical mesh made of polypropylene textile, designed for surgical placement.
  • Lack of In Vitro Testing: While there are "in vitro (bench) tests" mentioned, these are tests performed on the device itself (like pore size, strength, etc.) and not tests performed on biological samples (like blood, urine, tissue) to diagnose or monitor a condition.
  • No Mention of Biological Samples: There is no indication that this device interacts with or analyzes biological samples.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. This device does not fit that description.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

The following performance data is provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination: In vitro (bench) tests have been performed in accordance with the FDA Guidance "Guidance for the Preparation of a Premarket Notification Application of a Surgical Mesh" issued March 2, 1999 to evaluate the performance characteristics of the subject Dextile™ Anatomical Mesh in comparison with the predicate 3DMAX™ Light Mesh (K091659). The following mesh characteristics were assessed: Pore size, Surface density, Thickness, Bursting strength, Bursting deflection, Tensile breaking strength, Elongation at break, Tear strength, Suture pull-out strength. Trocar passage testing was conducted to demonstrate that the mesh integrity is preserved when used by laparoscopy. In vivo pre-clinical tests on representative animal model were conducted in comparison with the predicate 3DMAX™ Light Mesh (K091659) to evaluate the tissue integration. Results demonstrate that no difference was observed between the subject Dextile™ Anatomical Mesh and the predicate 3DMAX™ Light Mesh (K091659) in terms of tissue integration. Stability study was conducted, and the proposed device shelf life was demonstrated. Biocompatibility evaluation was performed and confirmed that Dextile™ Anatomical Mesh and its constitutive components are compliant with ISO Standard 10993-1 for their intended patient contact profile. Usability tests were conducted and demonstrate that the subject Dextile™ Anatomical Mesh is acceptable for the intended users, uses and use environments. This premarket submission did not rely on the assessment of clinical performance data to demonstrate substantial equivalence.

Dear Angela Arsdale:

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.
