Intended Use
Tissue repair patch, for the surgical repair of soft tissue deficiencies which include: defects of the abdominal and thoracic wall, gastric banding , rectal and vaginal prolapse, urethral sling, reconstruction of the pelvic floor, and hernias, or defects of the diaphragm, femoral, incisional, inguinal, lumbar, and umbilical hernia.
Device Description
The Shelhigh No-React® Tissue repair patch/ UroPatch™ is made of glutaraldehyde fixed boyine 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 tissue repair patch, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

Yes
The device is a tissue repair patch used for surgical repair of various soft tissue deficiencies, which directly addresses disease or injury by repairing or replacing tissue.

No

The device is a tissue repair patch used for surgical repair of deficiencies, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "Tissue repair patch" made of "glutaraldehyde fixed bovine pericardium," indicating it is a physical implantable material, 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 for the surgical repair of soft tissue deficiencies. This is a therapeutic and structural function within the body, not a diagnostic test performed on samples outside the body.
  • Device Description: The device is a tissue repair patch made of bovine pericardium. This is a physical implant used for structural support and repair.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue samples) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVD devices are designed to perform tests on biological samples to provide diagnostic information. This device is a surgical implant used for physical repair.

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-Reac® patch shows higher evel of biocompatibility. The non clinical /Animal testing data showed that the Shelhigh No-React®Tissue repair patch/ UroPatch™. has higher level of cytocompatibility when compared with the conventional glutaraldehyde treated and storage. The UroPatch™ is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
