Device Description
The Aesculap® PAS-Port Proximal Anastomosis System is a mechanical device used to facilitate an aortic vein graft anastomosis. The connector replaces sutures to create a secure, patent, and reproducible anastomosis. The PAS-Port system consists of a connector and a delivery system and is contained in a package that is designed to facilitate attachment of the conduit to the implant, as well as to ensure that the venous conduit (after attachment to the system and before deployment) is kept moist and vital.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on a mechanical device for creating surgical anastomoses and does not mention any computational or data-driven components indicative of AI/ML.

Yes
The device is described as a "mechanical device used to facilitate an aortic vein graft anastomosis" which "replaces sutures to create a secure, patent, and reproducible anastomosis." This describes a direct therapeutic action on the body by creating an anastomosis, which is a surgical connection.

No
The device is described as a mechanical system to create a surgical anastomosis, replacing sutures. Its intended use is to facilitate a surgical procedure, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "mechanical device" and consists of a "connector and a delivery system," indicating it is a hardware-based medical device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "create the aortic anastomosis of aortic autologous vein grafts." This is a surgical procedure performed directly on a patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a "mechanical device used to facilitate an aortic vein graft anastomosis" that "replaces sutures." This is a surgical tool/implant.
  • 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, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVD devices are used in vitro (outside the body) to analyze samples. This device is used in vivo (inside the body) during surgery.

Dear Sierra Mertz:

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 Actinclude 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.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal

PERFORMANCE TESTING

Non-clinical testing was conducted to meet the requirements outlined in ISO 11607-1. Packaging for terminally sterilized medical devices - Part 1: Requirements for materials, sterile barrier systems and packaging systems. All samples met predefined acceptance criteria and passed the packaging validation test activities. The successful results demonstrate that the subject device meets the established acceptance criteria and performs as well as or better than the legally marketed predicate device.

Non-Clinical Testing

TestAcceptance CriteriaResults
Microbial Barrier Verification• The packaging must not be damaged
• The complete sterile barrier must be intact
• All sealed seams must be intactPass
Seal Strength VerificationThe seal strength must be within the defined range
of 1.2 - 10 N/15 mmPass
Transport Simulation
(verification via visual
inspection,
product evaluation,
and verification via bubble test)• There must be no fatal damages of the packaging
which could cause product damage
• The product must remain in its intended position
• The product must function and must not have
visible damages
• The sterile barrier must be intactPass
Labeling Visual InspectionAll labeling contents must be intact and legiblePass
Scanning VerificationAll codes must be read using bar code scannerPass

CONCLUSION

The conclusions drawn from the nonclinical tests demonstrate that the Aesculap PAS-Port Proximal Anastomosis System is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as or better than the legally marketed predicate device.
