More Information

No
The summary describes a woven polyester graft and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

Yes
The device is a vascular graft used for systemic vascular reconstructions in cases of aneurysmal or occlusive disease, which treats a medical condition.

No
Explanation: The device is a vascular graft used for replacement in systemic vascular reconstructions, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "woven polyester graft, impregnated with bovine collagen," which is a physical implantable 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 "systemic vascular reconstructions... in the peripheral region." This describes a surgical procedure performed on the patient's body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the patient.
  • Device Description: The device is a "woven polyester graft, impregnated with bovine collagen." This is a physical implant used to replace or repair blood vessels. IVDs are typically reagents, instruments, or systems used to examine specimens from the human body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.

Therefore, the HEMASHIELD VANTAGE™ Vascular Graft is a surgical implant, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 870.3450 Vascular graft prosthesis.

(a)
Identification. A vascular graft prosthesis is an implanted device intended to repair, replace, or bypass sections of native or artificial vessels, excluding coronary or cerebral vasculature, and to provide vascular access. It is commonly constructed of materials such as polyethylene terephthalate and polytetrafluoroethylene, and it may be coated with a biological coating, such as albumin or collagen, or a synthetic coating, such as silicone. The graft structure itself is not made of materials of animal origin, including human umbilical cords.(b)
Classification. Class II (special controls). The special control for this device is the FDA guidance document entitled “Guidance Document for Vascular Prostheses 510(k) Submissions.”

The HEMASHIELD VANTAGE™ Vascular Graft is substantially Substantial Equivalence: equivalent in design, components, materials, intended use and labeling to the currently marketed predicate devices. The modifications in this device compared to the predicate devices are:

  • It combines a smooth inner surface and veloured outer . surface in the same graft; predicate Meadox grafts have the same inner and outer surface: both surfaces are either smooth or velour.
  • Like its predicate devices, it is intended for use in . vascular replacement in the case of aneurysmal or occlusive disease; with the exception that this device is intended for application in the peripheral region.
  • The labeling is distinct from that for the predicate devices . to reflect the above described modifications in this device compared to the predicate devices.

Testing has been performed which demonstrates that in spite of these modifications in the proposed device, the proposed devices are substantially equivalent in safety and performance to the currently marketed predicate devices.
