The Edwards® GeoForm™ Annuloplasty Ring is indicated for the correction of mitral valve insufficiency where the lesions are not so severe as to require total valve replacement. The decision to undertake valvuloplasty can be made only after visual analysis of the lesion present. The most favorable conditions for valvuloplasty using an annuloplasty ring are a combination of a distended natural valve ring associated with supple valve cusps and normal chordae tendineae. The remodeling valvuloplasty technique with a prosthetic ring may be used in all acquired or congenital mitral insufficiencies with dilatation and deformation of the fibrous mitral annulus. For Type I mitral insufficiencies with no subvalvular lesions and normal valvular movements, this ring technique used alone is sufficient. However, the ring technique must be associated with mitral valvuloplasty repair in Type II insufficiencies with a prolapsed valve due to elongation or rupture of the chordae tendineae and in Type III insufficiencies with limitation of valvular movements due to fusion of the commissures or chordae tendineae, or chordal hypertrophy.
Device Story
GeoForm Annuloplasty Ring (Model 4200) is a prosthetic implant for mitral valve repair. Device functions as a structural support to remodel the mitral annulus in patients with mitral insufficiency. Implanted by surgeons during open-heart procedures; device provides mechanical stabilization of the valve annulus to improve leaflet coaptation and reduce regurgitation. Benefits include preservation of the natural valve and avoidance of total valve replacement. Device is a passive implant; no electronic or algorithmic components.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only; no clinical data provided.
Technological Characteristics
Constructed of titanium alloy core; sewing ring margin consists of silicone rubber covered with polyester velour cloth; single-seam construction. Passive mechanical implant.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients with acquired or congenital mitral valve insufficiency requiring correction where lesions do not necessitate total valve replacement. Suitable for Type I (no subvalvular lesions), Type II (prolapsed valve), and Type III (limited valvular movement) insufficiencies involving mitral annulus dilatation and deformation.
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 Ms. Reynolds:
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.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act

or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050. 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.
