Device Description
The Shelhigh No-React® VascuPatch™ is a made of glutaraldehyde fixed bovine pericardium, rinsed with the detoxification process No-React®. It is stored in 2% Benzyl alcohol like the Shelhigh No-React® pericardial patch. 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.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description focuses on the material properties and biological processing of the patch, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML. The performance study is an animal study evaluating biocompatibility, not algorithmic performance.

Yes
The device is intended for "repair of carotid endarterectomy and vascular patch grafting," which is a medical treatment for a disease or injury.

No
The device is described as a patch for repair, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one. It is implanted to address a condition rather than to identify or characterize it.

No

The device description clearly states it is made of glutaraldehyde fixed bovine pericardium, which is a physical material, not software.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "For repair of carotid endarterectomy and vascular patch grafting." This describes a surgical procedure performed in vivo (within the living body) to repair blood vessels.
  • Device Description: The device is a physical patch made of bovine pericardium, designed to be implanted into the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information about a patient's health or condition. This device does not perform any such analysis.

The device described is a surgical implant used for vascular repair, not a diagnostic tool used on samples outside the body.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

An animal study was conducted to evaluate Shelhigh No-React® vs. the conventional glutaraldehyde treated patch, the Shelhigh No-React® patch shows higher evel of biocompatibility.
The non clinical /Animal testing data showed that the Shelhigh No-React® VascuPatch™. has higher level of cytocompatibility when compared with the conventional glutaraldehyde treated and storage. The VascuPatch™ is identical to the Shelhigh No-React® pericardial patch, thus is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

Product Description IV.

The Shelhigh No-React® VascuPatch™ is a made of glutaraldehyde fixed bovine pericardium, rinsed with the detoxification process No-React®. It is stored in 2% Benzyl alcohol like the Shelhigh No-React® pericardial patch. 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® VascuPatch™ is equivalent to the Knitted MiniCrimp Vascupatch manufactured by Meadox Medical, Inc. #K905496 and identical to the Shelhigh No-React® pericardial patch K974914 currently manufactured by Shelhigh Inc.

VI. Comparison with Predicate Device

The Shelhigh No-React® VascuPatch™, like the Shelhigh No-React® 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 and both are stored in bezyle alcohol.

VII.Nonclinical / Animal Tests

An animal study was conducted to evaluate Shelhigh No-React® vs. the conventional glutaraldehyde treated patch, the Shelhigh No-React® patch shows higher evel of biocompatibility.

VIII. Conclusions

l

The non clinical /Animal testing data showed that the Shelhigh No-React® VascuPatch™. has higher level of cytocompatibility when compared with the conventional glutaraldehyde treated and storage. The VascuPatch™ is identical to the Shelhigh No-React® pericardial patch, thus is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
