Intended Use
StitchKit® Suture Delivery Canister facilitates minimally invasive robotic surgery by transporting suture to the operative field and removing used needles after suturing. The suture contained within the device is intended for soft tissue approximation where use of the specific absorbable or non-absorbable sutures contained within it is appropriate.
Device Description
StitchKit® is a sterile, single-use plastic canister that is provided pre-loaded with suturing materials with attached needles. The device facilitates endoscopic robotic surgery by introducing multiple strands of suture to the surgical site at one time and allowing for the safe retrieval of the needles. The canister is sized to be passed through a ≥12 mm trocar or passed through an incision sized for an 8 mm trocar under direct endoscopic visualization. As suturing is completed with each strand, the used needle is placed into a compartment within the canister for safekeeping until the entire canister is removed either through the ≥ 12 mm trocar or through the 8mm trocar incision in tandem with the 8mm trocar, also under direct endoscopic visualization using the attached retrieval string. It is supplied sterile.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the mechanical function of the device for suture delivery and needle retrieval during robotic surgery. There is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies.

No
The device is a delivery system for sutures and needles used in surgery, facilitating the surgical procedure rather than directly treating a disease or condition itself.

No

The device is described as facilitating suture delivery and needle removal during robotic surgery. Its intended use is for soft tissue approximation, not for diagnosing medical conditions or diseases.

No

The device description clearly states it is a sterile, single-use plastic canister with pre-loaded suturing materials and needles, indicating it is a physical hardware device.

Based on the provided information, the StitchKit® Suture Delivery Canister is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device "facilitates minimally invasive robotic surgery by transporting suture to the operative field and removing used needles after suturing." It is used during a surgical procedure to deliver and manage surgical materials.
  • Device Description: The description details a sterile, single-use plastic canister containing sutures and needles, designed for use in endoscopic robotic surgery. It describes its function in handling surgical materials and needles.
  • No mention of in vitro testing: There is no indication that this device is used to examine specimens derived from the human body in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVD devices are typically used to test samples like blood, urine, tissue, etc., to provide diagnostic or other health-related information. The StitchKit® is a surgical tool used directly on the patient during a procedure.

§ 878.4493 Absorbable poly(glycolide/l-lactide) surgical suture.

(a)
Identification. An absorbable poly(glycolide/l-lactide) surgical suture (PGL suture) is an absorbable sterile, flexible strand as prepared and synthesized from homopolymers of glycolide and copolymers made from 90 percent glycolide and 10 percent l-lactide, and is indicated for use in soft tissue approximation. A PGL suture meets United States Pharmacopeia (U.S.P.) requirements as described in the U.S.P. “Monograph for Absorbable Surgical Sutures;” it may be monofilament or multifilament (braided) in form; it may be uncoated or coated; and it may be undyed or dyed with an FDA-approved color additive. Also, the suture may be provided with or without a standard needle attached.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The special control for this device is FDA's “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Surgical Sutures; Guidance for Industry and FDA.” See § 878.1(e) for the availability of this guidance document.

Dear John Gillespie:

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.

Devices to Which the Device is Substantially Equivalent:

  • K211792: StitchKit®, product code GAM (Primary), GAT, GCJ and NAY .

Device Description:

StitchKit® is a sterile, single-use plastic canister that is provided pre-loaded with suturing materials with attached needles. The device facilitates endoscopic robotic surgery by introducing multiple strands of suture to the surgical site at one time and allowing for the safe retrieval of the needles. The canister is sized to be passed through a ≥12 mm trocar or passed through an incision sized for an 8 mm trocar under direct endoscopic visualization. As suturing is completed with each strand, the used needle is placed into a compartment within the canister for safekeeping until the entire canister is removed either through the ≥ 12 mm trocar or through the 8mm trocar incision in tandem with the 8mm trocar, also under direct endoscopic visualization using the attached retrieval string. It is supplied sterile.

Indication for Use:

StitchKit® Suture Delivery Canister facilitates minimally invasive robotic surgery by transporting suture to the operative field and removing used needles after suturing. The suture contained within the device is intended for soft tissue approximation where use of the specific absorbable or non-absorbable sutures contained within it is appropriate.

Comparison to Predicate:

This submission relates to a modification of the instructions for use of an existing device. There is no change to the Intended Use, Indications for Use Statement, nor Technological Characteristics. The proposed change is for modifications to the Instructions for Use for the device, which previously stated that the device may only be inserted or removed via a ≥ 12 mm trocar. The revised instructions add that the device may alternatively be

4

inserted or removed through an existing 8 mm trocar site incision under direct endoscopic visualization by removing the trocar and placing the device through that incision into the surgical field.

This submission was also supported by a retrospective case review clinical study (n=422) conducted by an academic medical center.

Performance Data

A functional performance test consisting of simulated surgical testing in an animal model was conducted. This included insertion and removal through an 8 mm trocar site in the model to demonstrate that the technique is compatible with the StitchKit device.

Conclusion:

Based on the unchanged Indication for Use and Technological Characteristics; functional test data; clinical data; and comparison to the predicate device including risk analysis; we conclude that the proposed StitchKit® device is substantially equivalent to its predicate.
