Phasix™ ST Umbilical Hernia Patch is indicated for use in the reinforcement of soft tissue, where weakness exists, in procedures involving the repair of umbilical hernias.
Phasix™ ST Umbilical Hernia Patch is a sterile, single-use device for prescription use only. It is a self-expanding, fully resorbable mesh with a resorbable hydrogel coating and a positioning pocket and strap. Phasix™ ST Umbilical Hernia Patch is comprised of 2 layers of poly-4hydroxybutyrate (P4HB), with the posterior side being co-knitted with polyglycolic acid (PGA) fibers, identical to the mesh component of the secondary predicate device (Phasix™ ST Mesh with Open Positioning System). P4HB degrades through hydrolysis and a hydrolytic enzymatic digestive process and is essentially completely resorbed in 12-18 months. Phasix™ ST Umbilical Mesh is coated on the PGA surface with a resorbable, chemically modified sodium hyaluronate (HA), carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), and polyethylene glycol (PEG) based hydrogel. The hydrogel is identical to both the primary predicate device (Ventralex™ ST Hernia Patch (K101928) and the secondary predicate device (Phasix™ ST Mesh with Open Positioning System, K190185). The fascial side of the mesh allows for a prompt fibroblastic response through the interstices of the mesh, allowing for complete tissue ingrowth. The visceral side of the mesh is the resorbable hydrogel coating, which separates the mesh from underlying tissues and organ surfaces to help minimize tissue attachment to the mesh. Shortly after hydration in saline, the coating becomes a hydrated gel that is resorbed from the site in less than 30 days. Phasix™ ST Umbilical Hernia Patch contains SorbaFlex™ Memory Technology, which provides memory and stability to the mesh, facilitating ease of initial insertion, proper placement and fixation of the device. The SorbaFlex™ Memory Technology is comprised of an extruded polydioxanone (PDO) resorbable monofilament contained within a knitted P4HB containment sleeve. PDO is resorbed within 24-32 weeks. The PDO ring and hybrid positioning straps (comprised of P4HB and polypropylene materials that are connected by overlapping the materials and sewing them together with clear PP monofilament, with a delineation marker dyed blue with [phthalocyaninato(2-)] copper), are based on the design of the primary predicate Ventralex™ ST Hernia Patch (K101928). The subject device has the identical intended use as the primary and predicate devices; soft tissue repair/reinforcement.
The provided document does not describe acceptance criteria for a software device or a study proving that a software device meets those criteria.
Instead, the document is a 510(k) premarket notification summary for a physical medical device: Phasix™ ST Umbilical Hernia Patch.
Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information regarding acceptance criteria and studies for a software device.
The document discusses the following types of testing for the physical medical device:
- Biocompatibility Testing: Conducted in accordance with ISO 10993-1. Many tests were not repeated as the materials were the same as previously cleared predicate devices. Tests included material chemical characterization (gravimetric analysis, GCMS, LCMS-UV-CAD, HS-GCMS, ICPMS, GPC), cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation/intracutaneous reactivity, acute systemic toxicity, material mediated pyrogenicity, LAL, subacute/subchronic/chronic toxicity, genotoxicity (AMES, Mouse Lymphoma), and implantation tests.
- Product Testing (Performance Testing): This included "Substantial Equivalency Testing" covering physical characteristics (mesh weave, pore size, thickness, weight per unit area, stiffness, dimensions) and functional characteristics (ball burst strength, suture retention strength, tear strength, PGA pull-out strength, three-tack pluck force, gel disruption analysis). It also included functional testing of the subject device (25-degree recoil, containment sleeve puncture, strap attachment strength, pocket integrity), resorption profile of the ring and containment sleeve (in-vitro degradation of PDO), design validation usability testing, and human factors/simulated testing.
- Animal Studies: No new animal studies were conducted for the subject device. Instead, the safety and performance were evaluated based on animal and histological data from reference devices (Phasix™ Mesh, Phasix™ ST Mesh) and predicate devices (Phasix™ ST Mesh with Open Positioning System, Ventralex™ ST Hernia Patch). The PDO ring material was previously evaluated in a rat model.
If you have a document pertaining to a software device, please provide that, and I will do my best to extract the requested information.

(a)
Identification. Surgical mesh is a metallic or polymeric screen intended to be implanted to reinforce soft tissue or bone where weakness exists. Examples of surgical mesh are metallic and polymeric mesh for hernia repair, and acetabular and cement restrictor mesh used during orthopedic surgery.(b)
Classification. Class II.
