No
The device description focuses on the material composition and physical structure of surgical meshes, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML. The submission is a Special 510(k) for changes to the Instructions for Use, explicitly stating no changes to the device itself.
Yes
The device is a mesh intended for the reinforcement of abdominal wall soft tissue, which directly supports the healing and repair of hernias, making it a therapeutic device.
No
This device is a surgical mesh intended for the reinforcement of abdominal wall soft tissue, not for diagnosing medical conditions. It is a therapeutic device used during surgical procedures.
No
The device description clearly states it is a mesh made of polyester textile, collagen film, and other physical components, intended for surgical implantation. This is a physical medical device, not software.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the devices are for "reinforcement of abdominal wall soft tissue where a weakness exists, in procedures involving primary abdominal wall and incisional hernia surgeries" and similar hernia repairs. This describes a surgical implant used in vivo (within the body) to support tissue.
- Device Description: The description details the materials and construction of surgical meshes made of polyester, collagen, and polylactic acid. These are materials used for surgical implants, not for testing samples in vitro (outside 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 screening.
IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the body to provide diagnostic information. This device is a surgical implant used to repair a physical defect.

Device Description
The purpose of this Special 510(k) is to notify the Agency the changes made on Instructions for Use. There is no change performed on the devices itself, and the device description is identical to those provided for predicate devices Symbotex™ Composite Mesh (K142908), ProGrip™ Self-Gripping Polyester Mesh (K142900), Parietex™ Hydrophilic 2D 3D Anatomical Mesh (K173796) and Versatex™ Monofilament Mesh (K150091).
Symbotex™ Composite Mesh
Symbotex™ Composite Mesh is made out of a threedimensional monofilament polyester textile which is covered with an absorbable, continuous and hydrophilic film on one of its sides. This film is made up of collagen from porcine origin and glycerol. The collagen film is essentially degraded in less than 1 month. For "Flat sheet" (SYM reorder codes): A dyed monofilament polyester (D&C Green No. 6) marking is positioned on the center of the textile, on the opposite side of the film, and helps center and orient the mesh. For "Flat Sheet with sutures" (SYM-F reorder codes): Nonabsorbable pre-placed sutures are tied to the three-dimensional mesh. A dyed monofilament polyester (D&C Green No. 6) marking is positioned on the center of the textile, on the opposite side of the film, and helps center and orient the mesh. For "With flap" (SYM-OS reorder codes): A dyed (D&C Green No. 6) bi-dimensional monofilament polvester textile flap is attached to the threedimensional reinforcement and helps place and fix the mesh.
ProGrip™ self-gripping polyester mesh
The mesh and the overlapping flaps of the pre-cut versions are made of knitted monofilament polyester and have polylactic acid monofilament resorbable pins on one of the sides. These pins facilitate placing, positioning and fixation of the overlapping flap and the mesh to the surrounding tissue. A colored yarn marker on the medial edge of the pre-cut mesh helps orientation.
The monofilament polylactic acid pins are bioresorbable and contribute to the fixation of the mesh to surrounding tissue during at least 8 weeks. The polylactic acid pins degrade and resorb in vivo by hydrolysis and are metabolized by the body into CO2 and H2O.
Parietex™ Hydrophilic 2D 3D Anatomical Mesh
Two or three-dimensional multifilament polyester wall reinforcements.
The two-dimensional mesh, with rectangular pores, is available in two different textures: a standard version (TEC references) and a rigid version (TECR references). The textures and transparencies of this mesh make them particularly suitable for the treatment of parietal affections, in particular inguinal hernias, through laparoscopic approach.
The three-dimensional mesh (TET references) has hexagonal pores. The flexibility, porosity and low density of this mesh make it particularly suitable for the treatment of parietal affections, in particular incisional and inquinal hernias, through open approach.
The Parietex™ hydrophilic 2-dimensional mesh, hydrophilic 3dimensional mesh and hydrophilic anatomical mesh has been adapted for various techniques of abdominal repair. The rectangular mesh is designed for the repair of inguinal and incisional hernias in a pre-peritoneal or pre-muscular approach. The pre-cut and slit mesh is suitable for the repair of inguinal hernias via anterior approach using the tension free technique. The folding mesh (in two-dimensional textile) is designed for the repair of direct or indirect inguinal hernias through a laparoscopic approach (trans-abdominal or pre-peritoneal or totally extra-peritoneal). Some codes have a slit for the passage of the cord.
The anatomical mesh is mainly designed for the repair of inquinal hernias via laparoscopic or posterior open procedures and is available for the left and/or right side.
Versatex™ Monofilament Mesh
Versatex™ Monofilament Mesh is made of macroporous three-dimensional monofilament polyester textile. Largest sizes include a green dyed monofilament polyester (D&C Green No. 6) marking that is positioned in the center of the textile to help center and orient the mesh.
