The SuturePatch Tissue Reinforcement is intended for the management and protection of soft tissue injuries. The SuturePatch Tissue Reinforcement is also intended for the reinforcement of soft tissues repaired by sutures or suture anchors during tendon repair surgery including reinforcement of the rotator cuff, patellar, achilles, biceps, quadriceps, or other tendons. Sutures used to repair the tear and sutures, or bone anchors used to attach the tissue to the bone provide biomechanical strength for the tendon repair. The SuturePatch Tissue Reinforcement device reinforces and protects healing soft tissues.
The SuturePatch Tissue Reinforcement device is not intended to replace normal body structure or provide the full mechanical strength to support the rotator cuff, patellar, achilles, biceps, quadriceps, or other tendons. Sutures, used to repair the tear, and sutures or bone anchors, used to attach the tissue to bone, provide mechanical strength for the repair.
The Arthrex SuturePatch Tissue Reinforcement device is a non-absorbable, permanent, implantable orthopedic surgical mesh intended for the reinforcement of soft tissue/tendon repair. It is manufactured from embroidered polyester yarns with integral reinforcements across its width and around its perimeter to provide improved stability and high suture retention strength. The SuturePatch is available in rectangular and trapezoidal patterns and configurable sizes. Sutures passed through soft tissue can also be passed throughout the SuturePatch with needles or suture passer.
This document is a 510(k) clearance letter for a medical device called "SuturePatch Tissue Reinforcement." It does NOT describe an AI/ML device or its acceptance criteria and a study proving it meets them. The text provided is wholly unrelated to AI/ML.
Therefore, I cannot extract the requested information as it is not present in the provided text. The document is for a physical surgical mesh and details its regulatory clearance, not the performance of an AI/ML algorithm.
§ 878.3300 Surgical mesh.
(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.
