The 510(k) summary describes a standard surgical suture and makes no mention of AI or ML technology. The performance studies focus on material properties and equivalence to a predicate device, not algorithmic performance.
No.
A surgical suture is a medical device used for closing wounds and approximating tissues, which is a supportive function rather than a direct therapeutic intervention to treat a disease or condition.
No
The device is a nonabsorbable surgical suture used for soft tissue approximation and ligation, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function.
No
The device description clearly states it is a physical, nonabsorbable monofilament surgical suture, which is a hardware 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 "general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation." This describes a surgical procedure performed directly on a patient's body.
- Device Description: The device is a "nonabsorbable monofilament surgical suture." This is a physical material used to close wounds or tie off blood vessels during surgery.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health. This device does not perform any such analysis.
The description clearly indicates a surgical device used in vivo (within the living body), not an in vitro diagnostic device used to test samples outside the body.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
Non Absorbable Surgical Nylon Suture is indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, the device can be left in place for a maximum of 7 days.
