STRATAFIX™ Spiral MONOCRYL™ Plus Unidirectional Knotless Tissue Control Device is indicated for use in soft tissue approximation where the use of absorbable sutures is appropriate.

The STRATAFIX™ Spiral MONOCRYL™ Plus Unidirectional Knotless Tissue Control Device is an antibacterial monofilament, synthetic absorbable single-use surgical suture device composed of a copolymer of glycolide and (epsilon) s-caprolactone. The device contains IRGACARE®: MP (triclosan), a broad-spectrum antibacterial agent, at no more than 2360 ug/m. The colorant employed is D&C Violet No.2, in <0.050% w/w concentration. Poliglecaprone 25 copolymer has been found to be nonpyrogenic and elicits only a slight tissue reaction during absorption. The subject device is intended for professional use only.

Same as the currently marketed undyed version, the subject device consists of a unidirectional barbed suture material, armed with a surgical needle on one end and an anchoring fixation loop at the opposite end. The barbs are oriented in one direction to allow tissue approximation without the need to tie surgical knots.

While the formation of barbs in the subject STRATAFIX™ Spiral MONOCRYL™ Plus Unidirectional Device reduces the tensile strength relative to non-barbed suture material of the same size, tying of knots in non-barbed suture materials also reduces their effective strength. For this reason, the strength of the STRATAFIX™ Spiral MONOCRYL™ Plus Unidirectional Device can be compared to USP knot strength of non-barbed sutures. The actual diameter of the non-barbed section fiber is one size greater than the designated size with a maximum overage of 0.1 mm.

The subject device is sterilized by Ethylene Oxide, and is available in lengths of 6, 9, and 12 inches, with a USP diameter size 2-0 and 3-0 (metric sizes 3.0 and 2.0), and single armed with various needle sizes.

This document describes a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device, specifically a surgical suture. It does not contain information about an AI/ML medical device, which would typically include acceptance criteria, study details (sample size, data provenance, ground truth establishment, expert qualifications, etc.), or details of human reader studies (MRMC).

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information regarding acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them, as the provided text pertains to a traditional medical device (surgical suture) and not an AI/ML device. The document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to a predicate device through non-clinical performance testing rather than the detailed clinical validation studies common for AI/ML products.
