    Intended Use

    Synergy™ Tissue Matrix is intended to be used for implantation to reinforce soft tissue, including but not limited to: defects of the abdominal and thoracic wall, muscle flap reinforcement, hernias, suture-line reinforcement and other reconstructive procedures.

    The device is also intended for the reinforcement of soft tissues repaired by sutures or suture anchors during tendon repair surgery including reinforcement of rotator cuff, patellar, Achilles, biceps, quadriceps, or other tendons,

    Synergy Tissue Matrix is not intended to replace normal body structure or provide the full mechanical strength to support tendon repair of the rotator cuff, patellar, Achilles, biceps, quadriceps or other tendons. Sutures, used to repair the tear, and sutures or bone anchors, used to attach the tissue to the bone, provide biomechanical strength for the tendon repair.

    Device Description

    Synergy Tissue Matrix is an implantable biologic mesh comprised of non-crosslinked bovine pericardium. Synergy Tissue Matrix undergoes proprietary processing that allows neo-collagen formation and neo-vascularization of the implanted device and permits replacement of the device with host tissue, or remodeling.

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

    The document does not specify a distinct "test set" in the context of clinical studies with human subjects or a defined dataset for AI evaluation. The evaluations are primarily based on:

    • Bench Testing: Mechanical properties (tensile strength, burst strength, suture pull-out) would involve samples of the device itself. No specific sample sizes are mentioned.
    • Animal Implant Studies: These are in vivo (live animal) studies. The number of animals used is not specified.
    • Biocompatibility Testing: Conducted in vitro (laboratory) or in vivo (animal) according to ISO 10993-1. Specific sample sizes are not provided.
      The provenance of the data is not explicitly stated (e.g., country of origin). The studies appear to be pre-clinical/laboratory-based and animal studies, not human clinical trials. They are likely prospective for the specific tests performed on the Synergy™ Tissue Matrix.

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

    Not applicable. This device is a surgical mesh; the ground truth for its performance is established through objective physical, chemical, and biological testing as well as animal studies, not through expert consensus on interpreting data (like images).

    4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set

    Not applicable, as the evaluation methods are objective measurements and animal observations, rather than interpretation by multiple experts.

    5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done, If So, What Was the Effect Size of How Much Human Readers Improve with AI vs Without AI Assistance

    Not applicable. This is a medical device (surgical mesh), not an AI/software-as-a-medical-device (SaMD) that involves human readers or AI assistance.

    6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done

    Not applicable. This is a physical medical device, not an algorithm.

    7. The Type of Ground Truth Used

    The ground truth for this device is based on:

    • Objective measurement standards: For biocompatibility (e.g., ISO 10993-1), pyrogenicity, residual chemicals.
    • Engineered performance metrics: For biomechanical properties (tensile strength, burst strength, suture pull-out).
    • Histopathological and physiological observations: From animal implant studies (normal tissue healing, remodeling capability).
    • Chemical and physical characterization: Material composition, structure, etc.

    These are established by recognized scientific and engineering principles and standards, not expert consensus on ambiguous data.

    8. The Sample Size for the Training Set

    Not applicable. This type of device does not involve a "training set" in the context of machine learning or AI.

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

    Not applicable, as there is no "training set" for this device.
