Intended Use
The Cypris eXact Suture Placement Device is indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation when used with sutures.
Device Description
The Cypris eXact Suture Placement Device is for use in general soft tissue approximation by surgeons, and it is single-use and provided sterile. It is a hand-held device used for the placement of a surgical suture, and the device consists of a handle, needle driver, and tissue capture port. The handle is designed for manual manipulation of the suture placement device, allowing the surgeon to advance the device to the desired deployment site. The needle driver functions to pass the suture when it is advanced and retracted. The tissue capture port consists of a capture chamber, needle, and hook assembly, and holds the tissue to be sutured during either manual palpation or vacuum-assisted palpation of tissue into the tissue capture port. Suture placement is achieved by advancing and retracting the needle driver.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical and vacuum-assisted tissue manipulation for suture placement, with no mention of AI or ML technologies. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section explicitly states "Not Found".

No
The device is described as a "Suture Placement Device" used for "general soft tissue approximation when used with sutures." This indicates it's a surgical tool for closing wounds or incisions, not for treating a disease or condition itself.

No

The device is indicated for "general soft tissue approximation when used with sutures," which describes a therapeutic or surgical function, not a diagnostic one. It is used to place sutures, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description explicitly details physical components like a handle, needle driver, and tissue capture port, indicating it is a hardware device.

Based on the provided information, the Cypris eXact Suture Placement Device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "in general soft tissue approximation when used with sutures." This describes a surgical procedure performed directly on a patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is a hand-held surgical instrument used for placing sutures in tissue. It interacts directly with the patient's tissue during a surgical procedure.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue samples) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not perform any such analysis of biological specimens.

The device is a surgical tool used for a therapeutic purpose (tissue approximation), not for diagnostic testing of biological samples.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

The Cypris eXact Suture Placement Device underwent biocompatibility testing as an external communicating device with limited contact (≤24 hours) with tissue. The following biocompatibility endpoints were evaluated: cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation, acute systemic toxicity, and material-mediated pyrogenicity.
The Cypris eXact Suture Placement Device was tested to evaluate the integrity of the sterile barrier and the functionality of the device following 3 years of real-time aging. The shelf-life of the Cypris eXact Suture Placement Device is 3 years.
Performance testing of the Cypris eXact Suture Placement Device and a comprehensive vacuum safety evaluation were completed. Testing demonstrated that the subject device performs as expected and that the use of vacuum-assisted palpation is equivalent to the use of manual palpation by the predicate device. Peak suction force was measured at a vacuum level of 25.0 inHg, a likely vacuum level used in clinical settings. At this vacuum level, the minimum, maximum, and average measured peak suction force achieved by the Cypris eXact Suture Placement Device was 0.753 lbf, 1.052 lbf, and 0.904 lbf, respectively.

Key Metrics (Sensitivity, Specificity, PPV, NPV, etc.)

DEVICE DESCRIPTION

The Cypris eXact Suture Placement Device is for use in general soft tissue approximation by surgeons, and it is single-use and provided sterile. It is a hand-held device used for the placement of a surgical suture, and the device consists of a handle, needle driver, and tissue capture port. The handle is designed for manual manipulation of the suture placement device, allowing the surgeon to advance the device to the desired deployment site. The needle driver functions to pass the suture when it is advanced and retracted. The tissue capture port consists of a capture chamber, needle, and hook assembly, and holds the tissue to be sutured during either manual palpation or vacuum-assisted palpation of tissue into the tissue capture port. Suture placement is achieved by advancing and retracting the needle driver.

INDICATIONS FOR USE

The Cypris eXact Suture Placement Device is indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation when used with sutures.

COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS

Cypris Medical believes the Cypris eXact Suture Placement Device is substantially equivalent to the primary predicate device based on the information summarized here:

The Cypris eXact Suture Placement Device has the same intended use as the primary predicate device, and they are identical with respect to formulation, processing, and sterilization. The difference between the subject and predicate devices is that the Cypris eXact Suture Placement Device is packaged with a vacuum connector, which gives the option of connecting the suture placement device to a vacuum source.

SUMMARY OF NON-CLINICAL TESTING

The Cypris eXact Suture Placement Device underwent biocompatibility testing as an external communicating device with limited contact (≤24 hours) with tissue. The following biocompatibility endpoints were evaluated: cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation, acute systemic toxicity, and material-mediated pyrogenicity.

The Cypris eXact Suture Placement Device was tested to evaluate the integrity of the sterile barrier and the functionality of the device following 3 years of real-time aging. The shelf-life of the Cypris eXact Suture Placement Device is 3 years.

Performance testing of the Cypris eXact Suture Placement Device and a comprehensive vacuum safety evaluation were completed. Testing demonstrated that the subject device performs as expected and that the use of vacuum-assisted palpation is equivalent to the use of manual palpation by the predicate device. Peak suction force was measured at a vacuum level of 25.0 inHg, a likely vacuum level used in clinical settings. At this vacuum level, the minimum, maximum, and average measured peak suction force achieved by the Cypris eXact Suture Placement Device was 0.753 1bf, 1.052 1bf, and 0.904 1bf, respectively.

CONCLUSION

Based on the totality of evidence, including performance testing and a comprehensive vacuum safety evaluation. Cypris Medical concluded that use of vacuum-assisted palpation with the subject device does not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness relative to the predicate device. The Cypris eXact Suture Placement Device is determined to be substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
