The document describes a non-absorbable surgical suture and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.
No
The device is a non-absorbable suture used for general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, which is a structural or supportive function rather than a direct therapeutic one. Its purpose is to hold tissue together, not to treat or cure a disease or condition itself.
No
The device, a surgical suture, is used for tissue approximation and ligation during surgery. It does not perform any diagnostic function.
No
The device description clearly states it is a surgical suture, which is a physical, non-software component.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for "non-absorbable sutures in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation". This is a surgical procedure performed in vivo (within the living body).
- Device Description: The description confirms it's a "Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture" and classifies it as a Class II device under 21 CFR Section 878.5020, which is for surgical sutures.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue samples) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment.
IVD devices are used in vitro (outside the living body) to analyze samples. This device is used in vivo for surgical purposes.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
Indicated for use as non-absorbable sutures in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in Cardiovascular, Ophthalmic and Neural tissue. Surgilon (polyamide), Dermalon, Ophthalon are both braided and monofilament sutures available in white or dyed (black or blue) with a Logwood extract. These sutures are available in various lengths, diameters and quantities with or without surgical needles. These sutures are not absorbed, progressive hydrolysis of the nylon in-vivo may result in gradual loss of its tensile strength.

§ 878.5020 Nonabsorbable polyamide surgical suture.
(a)
Identification. Nonabsorbable polyamide surgical suture is a nonabsorbable, sterile, flexible thread prepared from long-chain aliphatic polymers Nylon 6 and Nylon 6,6 and is indicated for use in soft tissue approximation. The polyamide surgical suture meets United States Pharmacopeia (U.S.P.) requirements as described in the U.S.P. monograph for nonabsorbable surgical sutures; it may be monofilament or multifilament in form; it may be provided uncoated or coated; and it may be undyed or dyed with an appropriate FDA listed color additive. Also, the suture may be provided with or without a standard needle attached.(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.

SURGILON® (Polyamide) , OPHTHALON®, AND DERMALON® NON-ABSORBABLE SURGICAL SUTURE
Submitted by: Sherwood-Davis & Geck 4444 McDonnell Blvd. Hazelwood, MO 63042-2516
S. Tamsett, Manager Contact:
July 7, 1998 Date of Summary:
Surgilon (polyamide) Ophthalon and Dermalon Non-Absorbable Surgical Suture are braided and monafilanent suturs with a silicone coated dyed white or black with Logwood extract. These surgical sutures are composed of a long-chain aliphatic polymer Nylon 6 or Nylon 6,6. Surgilon, Dermalon and Ophthalan sutures are a class II device per 21 CFR Section 878.5020. Classification Code: 80GAR.
Sugilon (polyamide), Opthhalon, and Dermalon sutures are indicated for use as nonabsorbable sutures in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in Cardiovascular, Ophthalmic and Neural tissue. These sutures are braided and monofilament sutures available in various lengths, diameters and quantities with or without surgical needles. They are not absorbed, progressive hydrolysis of the nylon in-vivo may result in gradual loss of tensile strength over time.
Similarities between the proposed Surgilon, Ophthalon, and Demalon sutures to currently marketed sutures are 1)all are composed of long-chain aliphatic polymer, 2)all are sterile sutures, 3)all share the same indications for use, 4) all are available in the same lengths, diameters, quantities, colors and sizes, 5) all are available with and without surgical needles and 6)all are packaged in identical Tyvek/Mylar packaging.
The only difference between the proposed vs. The predicate sutures are an automated vs. a manual needle end stiffening process. TheSugilyn, Ophthalon and Demalon Absorbable Surgical Sutures, will be manufactured using an automated end stiffening process of applying the medical grade adhesive to a portion of the nylon strand which is then cured and cut to length. The predicate nylon suture is currently manufactured using a manual end stiffening process of winding the nylon suture material onto racks and dipping the end in a nylon resin bath, curing then cutting the suture to length.

These representative Surgical Sutures, with adhesive, were tested for biocompatibility in accordance to ANSI/AAMI 10993. Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices Part-1: Evaluation and Testing. Further, surgical sutures meet all requirements established by the United States Pharmacopeia (SP) and European Pharmacopoeia (EP) for surgical sutures.
Sherewood-Davis & Geck considers the proposed Surgilon, Ophthalon ,and Dermalon Surgical Sutures (w/adhesive) to be substantially equivalent in design, composition and intended use, to the currently marketed Surgilon, Dermalon, Ophthalon non-absorbable sutures covered under K930586.

Dear Ms. Johnson:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to devices that were regulated as transitional devices and that have been reclassified into class II. Notice of this reclassification was published in the Federal Register on Friday, May 31, 1991 (Vol. 56, No. 105, Pages 24684 and 24685). A copy of this Federal Register can be obtained by calling the Division of Small Manufacturers Assistance (DSMA) at (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597. You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) and the following limitations: .
-
- The Surgilon. Dermalon & Ophthalon & Ophthalmic Non-Absorbable Nylon Surgical Suture is indicated for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in cardiovascular, ophthalmic and neurological procedures,
-
- This device may not be manufactured from any long chain aliphatic polymers other than nylon 6 and/or nylon 6,6. In addition, you must maintain documentation at your premises regarding vendor certification for raw or semiprocessed source material, all manufacturing and quality control release procedures, and validation of sterilization procedures used in the manufacture of the Surgilon, Dermalon & Ophthalon & Ophthalmic Non-Absorbable Nylon surgical suture. Any deviation of the source material or processing as described in this 510(k) notification requires submission of a new premarket notification and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance prior to commercial distribution of the modified device.
