The document describes various types of surgical sutures and their intended uses. There is no mention of any computational or analytical capabilities, let alone AI or ML.

No.
The document describes surgical sutures, which are medical devices used for approximation and/or ligation of tissues, not for providing therapy.

No

Explanation: The document describes various types of surgical sutures used for tissue approximation and ligation. There is no mention of the device being used to detect, diagnose, or monitor a medical condition.

No

The provided text describes various types of surgical sutures, which are physical medical devices, not software.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device description: The intended use clearly describes surgical sutures, which are used in the body to approximate or ligate tissues. They are not used to test specimens outside the body.
  • Lack of IVD indicators: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples
    • Providing diagnostic information based on sample analysis
    • Using reagents or assays

Therefore, the device described is a surgical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

§ 878.4830 Absorbable surgical gut suture.

(a)
Identification. An absorbable surgical gut suture, both plain and chromic, is an absorbable, sterile, flexible thread prepared from either the serosal connective tissue layer of beef (bovine) or the submucosal fibrous tissue of sheep (ovine) intestine, and is intended for use in soft tissue approximation.(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.

Dear Mr. Juma:

This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of June 2, 1999.

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food. Drug. and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
