No
The summary describes a surgical suture and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

No.
The device is a surgical suture intended for soft tissue approximation and ligation, which is a tool used during treatment but not a device that provides therapy itself.

No
Explanation: The device, MONOCRYL suture, is described as a surgical suture for soft tissue approximation and/or ligation. Its intended use is to physically hold tissues together, not to diagnose medical conditions or provide information about a patient's health status.

No

The device description clearly states it is a monofilament synthetic absorbable surgical suture, which is a physical medical device, not software.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation." This describes a surgical procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is a "monofilament synthetic absorbable surgical suture." This is a physical material used in surgery.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue samples) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVD devices are used in vitro (outside the body) to analyze biological samples. This device is used in vivo (inside the body) during surgery.

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

Nonclinical laboratory testing was performed to determine breaking strength retention. Biocompatibility and clinical was deemed unnecessary to support this labeling change.

§ 878.4830 Absorbable surgical gut suture.

(a)
Identification. An absorbable surgical gut suture, both plain and chromic, is an absorbable, sterile, flexible thread prepared from either the serosal connective tissue layer of beef (bovine) or the submucosal fibrous tissue of sheep (ovine) intestine, and is intended for use in soft tissue approximation.(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.

SUMMARY OF SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS, Continued

510(k) SUMMARY, Continued Indications Statement MONOCRYL sutures, dyed are indicated for soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, but not for use in cardiovascular or neurological tissues, microsurgery or ophthalmic surgery. The modified device has the same technological characteristics as Technological Characteristics the predicate device. There is no change in chemistry, material or composition. When compared to the predicate device, dyed MONOCRYL suture, MONOCRYL suture, dyed has an increased breaking strength retention (BSR) profile. Performance Data Nonclinical laboratory testing was performed to determine breaking strength retention. Biocompatibility and clinical was deemed unnecessary to support this labeling change. Conclusions Based on the 510(k) summaries and 510(k) statements (21 CFR 807) and the information provided herein, we conclude that the new device is substantially equivalent to the Predicate Device under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
