    MODIFICATION TO V-LOC 180 ABSORBABLE WOUND CLOSURE DEVICE

    AI/MLSaMDIVD (In Vitro Diagnostic)TherapeuticDiagnosticis PCCP AuthorizedThirdpartyExpeditedreview
    Intended Use

    V-Loc™ 180 absorbable wound closure devices are indicated for soft tissue approximation where use of an absorbable suture is appropriate.

    Device Description

    The V-Loc™ 180 absorbable wound closure device is prepared from a copolymer of glycolic acid and trimethylene carbonate. The absorbable wound closure device is available clear or green. The device is sterile, inert, noncollagenous and nonantigenic.

    AI/ML Overview

    This document is a 510(k) summary for a medical device called the "V-Loc™ 180 Absorbable Wound Closure Device." It outlines the device's description, intended use, and its substantial equivalence to a predicate device.

    1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance

    Acceptance CriteriaReported Device Performance
    Performance TestingNot applicable (no change to the device from the predicate). The device is "identical to the predicate device."
    BiocompatibilityMaterials evaluated in accordance with ISO 10993-1: 2003, Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices - Part I Evaluation and Testing. (Implicitly, the device met these criteria, as it received 510(k) clearance).

    2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance

    The 510(k) summary explicitly states: "Performance testing is not applicable as there has been no change to the V-Loc™ 180 absorbable wound closure device." This means there was no new performance study conducted with a test set for this 510(k) submission. The device's approval is based on its substantial equivalence to a predicate device (K082662 - V-loc™ 180 Absorbable Wound). Therefore, information on sample size, test set data provenance, and ground truth for a new test set is not provided in this document.

    3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts

    Not applicable, as no new performance study with a test set was conducted for this 510(k). The device's performance relies on the previous evaluation of the identical predicate device.

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    Not applicable, as no new performance study with a test set was conducted for this 510(k).

    5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study

    No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done as part of this 510(k) submission. The FDA clearance is based on substantial equivalence, not a comparative effectiveness study showing improvement with AI.

    6. Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Study

    Not applicable. This device is a physical wound closure device, not an AI algorithm, so the concept of standalone performance for an algorithm is irrelevant here.

    7. Type of Ground Truth Used

    Not explicitly stated for this 510(k). The device's performance is established by its identity to a predicate device, which would have undergone its own testing and established its efficacy through appropriate methods (e.g., in vitro, in vivo, or clinical studies) prior to its own approval. The biocompatibility for the materials was evaluated against ISO 10993-1:2003.

    8. Sample Size for the Training Set

    Not applicable. This is a physical medical device, not an AI algorithm requiring a training set.

    9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established

    Not applicable, as this is a physical medical device, not an AI algorithm.
