The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical and material properties, with no mention of AI/ML or related concepts like image processing, training data, or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML algorithms.
No
A therapeutic device is one that treats or prevents a disease or condition. This device is used to anchor a viscus to the abdominal wall prior to the introduction of interventional catheters, which suggests it is an accessory device in a procedure rather than a direct therapeutic intervention itself. It facilitates a medical procedure rather than directly treating a condition.
No
The device is described as a suturing device intended for anchoring tissues, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function.
No
The device description clearly states it is a "sterile, single use suturing device" and describes physical components like suture, anti-splay component, and a hand-held, manually operated, disposable suture application device. This indicates it is a hardware medical device, not software-only.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is to anchor the wall of a hollow viscus to the abdominal wall using a suture delivery system. This is a surgical/procedural device used in vivo (within the body) to facilitate a medical procedure.
- Device Description: The description details a sterile, single-use suturing device designed for percutaneous tissue passage and anchoring. It involves physical manipulation of tissues within the body.
- 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 compatibility testing.
IVD devices are used in vitro (outside the body) to analyze biological samples. This device is clearly designed for use in vivo during a medical procedure.

Device Description
The Suture Delivery System is a sterile, single use suturing device designed to pass suture percutaneously through tissues in order to anchor the wall of a hollow viscus to the abdominal wall prior to the introduction of interventional catheters. The non-absorbable suture meets requirements established by the United Stated Pharmacopeia (USP) for non-absorbable surgical suture. The suture is provided pre-loaded in a hand-held, manually operated, disposable suture application device. Only the suture and the anti-splay component are intended to remain in place while the wall of the viscous adheres to the abdominal wall; all other components of the delivery system are removed completely and discarded.

As outlined above, minor differences exist among the AMT Suture Delivery System and the predicate devices. These differences include:
- Material of Retention: The subject device applies tension to approximate tissues using only suture material. The predicate device approximates tissues using suture attached to internal metal anchors.
- Method of deployment: The subject device features a delivery system featuring two needles ● that when deployed, pass suture from one needle to ther in order to form a percutaneous u-stitch; the predicate uses a single needle that when deployed percutaneously delivers suture and metal anchors.
These design differences between the Suture Delivery System (subject device), and the predicate (K182832) do not raise different questions of safety and/or effectiveness from the predicate device. The intended use and indications for use remain the identical between the AMT Suture Delivery System and the predicate device.
VII. PERFORMANCE DATA:
A. Biocompatibility Testing:
Following a well-documented biological evaluation plan, biocompatibility testing results demonstrate that the device is in compliance with ISO 10993-1- Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices, Part 1: Evaluation and Testing.

B. Software:
There are no software components related in any way to this device. Therefore, this section for Software Validation is not applicable to this device.
C. Electromagnetic Compatibility & Electrical Safety:
The metal suture delivery component is discarded after placing suture in the patient's tissues. Use of the manually operated suture delivery device leaves only a suture in the patient. Therefore, Electromagnetic Compatibility and Electrical Safety Validation is not applicable to this device.
D. Performance Testing:
AMT conducted various performance tests on the components contained within the AMT Suture Delivery System. Testing found that all components and materials met or exceeded design specifications established by AMT.
