Transorb™ Self-Gripping Resorbable Mesh is intended to be used for the reinforcement of abdominal wall soft tissues where weakness exists in open procedures involving ventral hernia repair.
Transorb™ Self-Gripping Resorbable Mesh is designed for ventral hernia repair when placed in an extraperitoneal space by open surgical approach. Transorb™ Self-Gripping Resorbable Mesh is made of a fully resorbable bi-dimensional Poly-L-lactide, poly-trimethylene carbonate copolymer (PLLA/TMC) monofilament textile with monofilament PLLA/TMC absorbable grips on one side. Transorb™ Self-Gripping Resorbable Mesh is available in different shapes and sizes. Transorb™ Self-Gripping Resorbable Mesh is a macro-porous mesh knitted from resorbable monofilament PLLA/TMC yarns. It has been designed to reinforce soft tissues where weakness exists by providing strength and tissue integration throughout the expected healing period. Transorb™ Self-Gripping Resorbable Mesh has absorbable PLLA/TMC grips on one side that facilitate positioning and contribute to fixation. The PLLA/TMC mesh and grips degrade and resorb in vivo by hydrolysis in 36 to 60 months and are metabolized by the body into CO2 and H₂O.
The provided text describes a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device called "Transorb™ Self-Gripping Resorbable Mesh." This submission is to demonstrate substantial equivalence to a predicate device, not to prove the device meets specific acceptance criteria for a new claim typically associated with AI/ML devices or novel therapies. Therefore, the information typically requested in your prompt regarding acceptance criteria, study types, ground truth, and expert involvement for AI/ML performance is not present in this regulatory document.
However, I can extract the performance data and "acceptance" (pass/fail) criteria as presented for the biocompatibility and bench testing components of this surgical mesh.
Here's the information based on the provided text, structured as much as possible according to your request, but acknowledging the inherent differences in regulatory submissions for a surgical mesh versus an AI/ML diagnostic tool:

Notes on Acceptance Criteria: The primary "acceptance criterion" for this 510(k) submission is to demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate device (TIGR® Matrix Surgical Mesh K191749), showing that differences do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness. For biocompatibility tests, the criterion is to "Pass" the specific ISO 10993 standard. For bench tests, the conclusion is frequently stated as "substantially equivalent" to the predicate.
2. Sample Size for Test Set and Data Provenance
- Test Set Sample Size: Not explicitly stated for each test in terms of a numerical count of units or animals. The text mentions broad categories like "PLLA/TMC monofilament yarn (up to 21g)" for composition and lists different product codes/sizes (e.g., TSB1510, TSB2020, TSB3030, TSB4030) that imply various units were tested across the different evaluations. For animal studies, it mentions "large animal model" (porcine) and "rabbit study."
- Data Provenance: The studies were internal preclinical (bench and animal) tests conducted by the manufacturer or their testing partners. There is no specific country of origin mentioned for the data, beyond the manufacturer being based in France. The studies are prospective in nature, designed specifically for this submission.
3. Number of Experts and Qualifications for Ground Truth
- Not Applicable in the context of your question. This document pertains to a physical medical device (surgical mesh) and its performance in bench and animal studies, not an AI/ML device requiring expert adjudication of outputs to establish ground truth from clinical images or data. The "ground truth" here is the physical and biological reality as measured by the various test methods (e.g., breaking strength, tissue ingrowth observations).
4. Adjudication Method for Test Set
- Not Applicable for the reasons stated above. Adjudication methods like "2+1" or "3+1" are typically used to establish a consensus ground truth in clinical evaluations, especially for AI/ML diagnostic tools. For this surgical mesh, performance is measured against established scientific and engineering principles via tests (e.g., ISO standards, ASTM standards, histological examination).
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study
- No, a MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This type of study is relevant for diagnostic devices (especially AI/ML-assisted ones) to assess the impact of the device on human reader performance. This submission is for a surgical implant, where such studies are not typically performed or required to demonstrate substantial equivalence. The document explicitly states: "This premarket submission did not rely on the assessment of clinical performance data to demonstrate substantial equivalence."
6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance Study
- No, a standalone performance study was not done. This concept is specific to AI/ML algorithms evaluated independently of human interaction. The Transorb™ mesh is a physical implant, not a software algorithm. Its performance is evaluated through physical, chemical, and biological testing, outlined as biocompatibility, bench testing, and animal studies.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used
The "ground truth" for this device's performance is established through:
- Compliance with International Standards: For biocompatibility (ISO 10993 series) and some physical properties (e.g., ISO 3801, ISO 9073-2, ISO 13934-1, ISO 4674).
- Predicate Device Comparison: For mechanical properties and physical aspects, the device's performance is compared to the predicate device (TIGR® Matrix Surgical Mesh, K191749), with substantial equivalence being the goal.
- Histology/Pathology: For animal studies, tissue repair, tissue integration, local tissue effects, and degradation profile were assessed via histological examination.
- Direct Measurement: For parameters like pore size, surface density, thickness, bursting strength, suture pull-out strength, etc., direct measurements are taken.
8. Sample Size for the Training Set
- Not Applicable. This device is a physical surgical mesh, not an AI/ML algorithm that requires a training set. The term "training set" is not relevant in this context.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
- Not Applicable. As there is no training set for this device, the question of how its ground truth was established is not relevant.
