    Intended Use

    The DW-1 C comprised of PDO is indicated for use in soft tissue approximation where use of absorbable sutures is appropriate.

    Device Description

    DW-1C synthetic absorbable PDO suture is made of polydioxanone. The pigment for the violet dye is D&C Violet No.2. The DW-1C is available sterile after ethylene oxide (EO) gas sterilization and degrades or dissolves over time in tissue. Each dyed (violet) suture has bi-directional barbs along the long axis of the suture monofilament without needle attachment. The DW-1C Synthetic Absorbable PDO suture approximate tissue, without the need to tie surgical knots, by using the opposing barbs on the surface to embed in the tissues after the surgeon precisely places the suture within the tissues.

    AI/ML Overview

    Here's an analysis of the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them, based on the provided text:

    1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:

    The document provides two main tables for performance data: "Biocompatibility test" on page 5 and "Bench (performance) testing" on page 6.

    Table: Bench (Performance) Testing Acceptance Criteria and Results

    No.TitleCriteriaResult Summary
    1USP 32:2009 Absorbable Surgical SutureImplicit criteria based on similar absorbable sutures, no explicit numerical criteria providedIn vivo absorption of absorbable suture were observed at 10, 80, 120, 220 days after implantation. Absorption time of MONOSORB was 180-220 days.
    2Dimension Test USP 37-NF 32:2014 <861> Sutures - DiameterAcceptance Criteria for this testing ±5%No failed results were performed in any DW-1C during the performing period.
    3Tensile Strength USP 37-NF 32: 2014 <881> Tensile StrengthAcceptance Criteria for this testing Not less than 300gf.No failed results were performed in any DW-1C during the performing period.
    4Holding forcesNo explicit numerical criteria provided, but implied to be comparable to reference samples.There was no significant difference between test samples and reference samples.
    5WeightsImplied criteria would be a expected decrease over time as degradation occurs.The weights of test samples in 1st (G1, Week 2), 2nd (G2, Week 4), 3rd (G3, Week 6), 4th (G4, Week 8), 5th (G5, Week 10), 6th (G6, Week 12) and 7th (G7, Week 14) necropsy groups were statistically significantly lower than that of the test samples in before implantation (p<0.001).
    6Biodegradation (absorption rate)Implied criteria would be a expected increase in biodegradation over time.The biodegradation levels of test samples in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th necropsy groups were significantly lower than that of the test samples in before implantation (p<0.001).
    7Mechanical property (Tensile strengths)Implied criteria would be a expected decrease in tensile strength over time, and becoming unmeasurable as degradation completes.The tensile strengths of test samples in 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th necropsy groups were significantly lower than that of test samples in 1st necropsy group (p<0.05, p<0.05, p<0.05 and p<0.01). In case of 7th necropsy groups, the test samples were degraded into small particles, so it was not possible to measure the tensile strengths.
    8Endotoxin testEndotoxin concentration of the test sample is less than 0.1 EU/device.Endotoxin concentration of the test sample is less than 0.1 EU/device.
    9Pyrogen testImplied criteria is absence of pyrogenicity.There was non-pyrogenicity to the extraction solution.

    2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)

    • Sample Size for Test Set: The document does not explicitly state a specific sample size for each individual test within the "Biocompatibility test" and "Bench (performance) testing" sections. For some tests like "4 Week Subchronic Toxicity" and "ISO Muscle Implantation Study in Rabbits", it mentions rats and rabbits but not the exact number used. For the "Bench (performance) testing," it refers to "test samples" without specifying quantities.
    • Data Provenance: The document does not specify the country of origin for the data or whether the studies were retrospective or prospective.

    3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)

    This section is not applicable as the document describes a physical medical device (surgical suture) and its performance through laboratory and in-vivo animal testing, not an AI/imaging device requiring expert interpretation for ground truth establishment.

    4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set

    This section is not applicable for the same reason as point 3. The performance is assessed by standardized laboratory procedures and observation of biological responses, not human expert adjudication of diagnostic findings.

    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

    This section is not applicable as the document describes a physical medical device (surgical suture), not an AI-powered diagnostic or decision support system that would involve human readers.

    6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done

    This section is not applicable. The device is a surgical suture, not an algorithm.

    7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)

    The "ground truth" for the performance of the surgical suture is established through:

    • Standardized Test Methods: Adherence to international standards (ISO 10993, USP monographs) for biocompatibility, physical dimensions, tensile strength, absorption rates, and sterility.
    • Biological Responses: Observation of animal models (mice, rabbits, guinea pigs, rats) for cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation, systemic toxicity, genotoxicity, and implantation reactions.
    • Quantitative Measurements: Direct measurements of properties like diameter, tensile strength, weights, and biodegradation levels in a controlled laboratory setting.

    8. The sample size for the training set

    This section is not applicable, as this is a physical medical device, not an AI/machine learning model that requires a training set.

    9. How the ground truth for the training set was established

    This section is not applicable for the same reason as point 8.
