The summary describes a kit of mechanical surgical instruments and references predicate devices that are also mechanical instruments. There is no mention of software, data processing, or any terms related to AI/ML.
No
The device is a surgical kit designed for suturing during urethropexy procedures to correct incontinence. It is an instrument used in a procedure, not a device that itself provides a therapeutic effect.
No
The device is described as a "Vaginal Suturing Kit" used for "urethropexy procedures," indicating it is an surgical instrument for treatment, not a diagnostic device.
No
The device description explicitly lists physical components (template assembly, suture retriever, suture cutter, suture pulling loop) and refers to a "Kit," indicating a collection of hardware. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical procedure (urethropexy for bladder neck suspension) performed on the patient's body to correct a physical condition (incontinence).
- Device Description: The device components are surgical instruments (template assembly, suture retriever, suture cutter, suture pulling loop) used during this surgical procedure.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information about a physiological state, health, disease, or congenital abnormality.
IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the body, not to perform surgical procedures directly on the body.

(a)
Identification. A smooth or threaded metallic bone fixation fastener is a device intended to be implanted that consists of a stiff wire segment or rod made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum and stainless steel, and that may be smooth on the outside, fully or partially threaded, straight or U-shaped; and may be either blunt pointed, sharp pointed, or have a formed, slotted head on the end. It may be used for fixation of bone fractures, for bone reconstructions, as a guide pin for insertion of other implants, or it may be implanted through the skin so that a pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system.(b)
