Intended Use
The SJM® Seguin annuloplasty ring is indicated for use in the repair of a mitral valve that is diseased or damaged due to acquired or congenital processes.
Device Story
SJM Seguin annuloplasty ring (model SARP) is a semi-rigid implantable device used in mitral valve repair surgery. It consists of an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (PE) core encased in a polyester sewing ring, which facilitates attachment to the heart annulus and promotes tissue ingrowth. The device is implanted by a cardiac surgeon during open-heart procedures. The primary function is to provide structural support to the mitral valve annulus, restoring proper valve geometry and function. The SARP model introduces a modified holder and handle configuration compared to the predicate device to assist in surgical delivery. The device is provided sterile for single use.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Testing included physical performance evaluation of the holder-to-handle connection, holder assembly, and ring-to-holder assembly, alongside biocompatibility, sterility assurance, and EtO residual evaluation.
Indicated for patients requiring repair of diseased or damaged mitral heart valves (acquired or congenital) determined by a physician to be repairable and not requiring replacement.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An annuloplasty ring is a rigid or flexible ring implanted around the mitral or tricuspid heart valve for reconstructive treatment of valvular insufficiency.
Special Controls
*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The special control for this device is the FDA guidance document entitled “Guidance for Annuloplasty Rings 510(k) Submissions.”

Dear Mr. McKelvey:
This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter regarding the SJM® Seguin Annuloplasty Ring dated January 4, 2002. Our letter incorrectly referred to your Model name as SAR-M. This is an error. The Model name has been corrected to SARP.
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
