No
The device description focuses on the material properties and mechanical function of a bovine pericardium patch used in surgery. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.
Yes
The device is described as reinforcing soft tissue and sealing/reducing air leak during pulmonary surgery, which directly addresses a medical condition or ailment.
No
The device description indicates it is a surgical accessory (pledget strips) used to reinforce lung tissue during surgery to seal or reduce air leaks, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description clearly details a physical product made of bovine pericardium, intended for surgical implantation. It discusses material properties, packaging, and physical testing, indicating it is a hardware 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 to "reinforce the soft tissue of the lung, thereby sealing or reducing air leak that occur during pulmonary surgery." This describes a surgical implant used in vivo (within the body) during a surgical procedure.
- Device Description: The device is a "glutaraldehyde fixed sheet of bovine pericardium" used with a stapler. This is a physical material implanted into the body.
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics (IVDs) are medical devices used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not perform any such examination of specimens.
The device is a surgical implant used directly on the patient's tissue during surgery, which falls outside the scope of In Vitro Diagnostics.

Device Description
The Shelhigh No-React® PneumoPledgets strips are glutaraldehyde fixed sheet of bovine pericardium. They are held on the stapler by a unique design of a loop on the anterior part of the PneumoPledgets. It holds the strip by inserting the pointed edge of the staple into the loop. The posterior part (if needed) is held by an "O" ring made of pericardium as well. The PneumoPledgets. strips are customized to fit all sizes and types of staples. The device is provided sterile in a 2% benzyl alcohol solution, packaged in a glass jar.
The material exhibits good tensile strength, shrink temperature excellent biocompatibility and suture retention. It is soft and pliable making it convenient to implant.
Bovine pericardial material has been used successfully as a tissue patch for pericardial closure. Glutaraldehyde processed bovine pericardium has a long history of success as a permanently implanted material.

V. Substantial Equivalence
The Shelhigh No-React® PneumoPledgets. is equivalent to the Peri-Strips® manufactured by Bio-Vascular K940205 and the Shelhigh No-React® pericardial patch K974914 and #K964467 currently manufactured by Shelhigh Inc.
VI. Comparison with Predicate Device
The Shelhigh No-React® PneumoPledgets. like the Shelhigh pericardial patch is a glutaraldehyde cross-linked bovine pericardium membrane which exhibits substantially equivalent physical/mechnical properties as measured by suture retention, tensile strength, and shrink temperature. They both have identical flexibility wall thickness shapes and sizes and both are stored in bezyle alcohol. The only difference is the addition of the detoxification process No-React®.
Extensive validation of the effectiveness of the Patch with the detoxification process, No-React® indicates that these differences do not pose new questions of safety and effectiveness.
Nonclinical / Animal Tests VII.
Physical/Mechanical test information is discussed above . An animal study was conducted to evaluate Shelhigh No-React® vs. the conventional glutaraldehyde treated patch, the Shelhigh No-React® patch shows higher level of biocompatibility.
VIII. Conclusions
The non clinical /Animal testing data showed that the Shelhigh No-React® PneumoPledgets. has high level of cytocompatibility when compared with the conventional glutaraldehyde treated and storage. The Shelhigh No-React® performance in a substantially equivalent to the predicate device and there were no significant differences between the two devices which pose new questions of safety and effectiveness.
