More Information

No
The summary describes a passive, physical patch made of knitted polyester fabric. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the presence of AI/ML.

Yes.
The device is used for cardiac and vascular patch grafting to treat existing conditions, which falls under the definition of a therapeutic device.

No
The device is a knitted cardiovascular patch used for grafting, not for diagnosing conditions. Its description and performance tests relate to its physical properties and intended surgical use, not diagnostic capabilities.

No

The device description clearly states it is a knitted polyester fabric, which is a physical material, not software.

Based on the provided information, the HEMASHIELD FINESSE™ Ultra-Thin, Knitted Cardiovascular Patch is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "cardiac and vascular patch grafting." This describes a device used within the body to repair or replace tissue, not a test performed outside the body on samples like blood or urine.
  • Device Description: The description details a "knitted polyester fabric, impregnated with bovine collagen." This is a physical implant, not a reagent or instrument used for analyzing biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description and intended use do not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in those samples
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment based on sample analysis.

Therefore, the HEMASHIELD FINESSE™ Ultra-Thin, Knitted Cardiovascular Patch is a surgical implant, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Gore-Tex® Peripheral Vascular Patch (K821717)
Gore-Tex® Cardiovascular Patch (K811841) |
| Description of Device: | The HEMASHIELD FINESSE™ Ultra-Thin, Knitted Cardiovascular Patch
is a knitted polyester fabric, impregnated with bovine collagen and
contains glycerol as a softening agent. |
| Intended Uses: | The HEMASHIELD FINESSE™ Ultra-Thin, Knitted Cardiovascular Patch
is indicated for cardiac and vascular patch grafting. The fabric is also
recommended for use in patients requiring systemic heparinization prior to,
or during, surgery. |
| Substantial Equivalence: | The HEMASHIELD FINESSE™ Ultra-Thin, Knitted Cardiovascular Patch
is identical to the HEMASHIELD® Knitted Double Velour Cardiovascular
Fabric in materials, manufacturing processes, packaging and sterilization.
The only difference is that the HEMASHIELD FINESSE™ Patch is thinner
than the HEMASHIELD® Knitted Fabric. Testing has been performed that
shows that the HEMASHIELD FINESSE™ Patch is substantially equivalent
to the predicate devices. |
| Product Testing: | The following tests have been performed on the HEMASHIELD FINESSE™
Ultra-Thin, Knitted Cardiovascular Patch: |
| | Burst Strength - equivalent to marketed product
Wall Thickness - equivalent to marketed product
Suture Retention Strength - equivalent to marketed product
Tensile Strength - equivalent to marketed product
Water Permeability - equivalent to marketed product
Suture Hole Elongation - equivalent to marketed product |
| Biocompatibility Testing: | The HEMASHIELD FINESSE™ Ultra-Thin, Knitted Cardiovascular Patch
is identical in materials, processing, packaging and sterilization as the
predicate HEMASHIELD® Cardiovascular Fabrics. As such, it is reasonable
to assume that the device is also identical in biocompatibility to the predicate,
which has been shown through testing performed in accordance with ISO
9000 Standards to be safe for their intended use. |
