The MEMO 3D™ device is intended for correction of mitral insufficiencies or steno-insufficiences. The use of the MEMO 3D™ device is indicated for correction of congenital or acquired mitral insufficiencies with dilatation and deformation of the mitral annulus. Type I insufficiencies, with no manifest lesions in the subvalvular apparatus, can be treated with the device on its own. For type II insufficiencies, characterized by valve prolapse sustained by elongation/breakage of the chordae tendineae and papillary muscles, and type III insufficiencies, characterized by partially immobilized leaflets due to the fusion/hypertrophy of the chordae tendineae, the device implantation must be accompanied by corrective valvuloplasty.
Device Story
MEMO 3D™ Semirigid Annuloplasty Ring; surgical implant for mitral valve repair. Device consists of metallic inner core embedded in medical-grade silicone, encased in tubular knitted fabric coated with Carbofilm™ (turbostratic carbon). Supplied pre-mounted on disposable holder to maintain shape and assist in measured plications of mitral annulus during implantation. Available in 24mm-38mm sizes. Used by cardiac surgeons in OR to restore mitral valve function; device provides structural support to annulus. Benefits include correction of mitral insufficiency/steno-insufficiency; stabilization of annulus geometry. Implantation may require concurrent valvuloplasty for Type II or Type III insufficiencies.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. No clinical data presented. Non-clinical testing included ultimate tensile strength, suture pull-out, rigidity determination, computational stress analysis, fatigue and durability testing, corrosion resistance, biocompatibility, sterilization validation, pyrogenicity, and shelf-life.
Indicated for patients with congenital or acquired mitral insufficiency or steno-insufficiency involving mitral annulus dilatation and deformation. Contraindicated in patients with severe organic lesions with chordae tendineae retraction, congenital malformations with limited valvular tissue, extensive valve leaflet calcification, or evolving bacterial endocarditis.
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.”

| <b>Device<br/>Description</b> | The MEMO 3D™ Semirigid Annuloplasty Ring is supplied as a sterile, non- pyrogenic, non-ferromagnetic ring pre-mounted on a disposable holder. The annuloplasty ring is manufactured by embedding a metallic inner core with medical grade silicone.

The fabric is then sewn along its length with Carbofilm™ coated polyester thread. <p>The annuloplasty ring is attached to the disposable holder to maintain the shape of the ring during implantation and allow for measured plications of the mitral annulus. Suture guides are present on the holder to aid the surgeon during ring placement.</p> <p>The MEMO 3D™ annuloplasty ring is available in sizes 24mm through 38mm in two millimeter increments. A complete set of accessory instrumentation is to be available separately to properly size the annulus and implant the annuloplasty ring.</p> |

Dear Ms Crawford:
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
