The NeoForm™ Annuloplasty Ring is indicated for the correction of mitral valvular insufficiency where the lesions are not so severe as to require total valve replacement.
Device Story
NeoForm™ Annuloplasty Ring is a rigid implantable device used during mitral valve repair surgery to reduce and stabilize the valve annulus. The device consists of a titanium alloy inner core, a silicone cover, and a polyester fabric sewing cuff. It is available in four sizes (26-32 mm). During surgery, the physician implants the ring to provide structural support and restrict pathological expansion of the mitral annulus. By restoring the geometry of the annulus, the device helps improve valve function and reduces insufficiency, potentially avoiding the need for total valve replacement.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Substantial equivalence supported by non-clinical bench testing, including biocompatibility, sterilization validation, computational finite element analysis (FEA), tensile strength testing, suture pull-out testing, MRI compatibility, packaging, and shelf-life studies.
Technological Characteristics
Rigid annuloplasty ring; titanium alloy inner core; silicone cover; polyester fabric sewing cuff; polyester suture markers. Available in 26, 28, 30, and 32 mm sizes. Mechanical support principle. Non-software device.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients with mitral valvular insufficiency requiring surgical repair, excluding cases severe enough to necessitate total valve 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.”

Trade/Device Name: NeoForm™ Annuloplasty Ring Model 4200 Regulation Number: 21 CFR 870.3800 Regulation Name: Annuloplasty ring Regulatory Class: Class II Product Code: KRH Dated: February 28, 2019 Received: March 1, 2019
Dear Mr. Mathison:
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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to 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
{1}------------------------------------------------
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); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/CombinationProducts/GuidanceRegulatoryInformation/ucm597488.htm); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Safety/ReportaProblem/default.htm.
For comprehensive regulatory information about mediation-emitting products, including information about labeling regulations, please see Device Advice (https://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/DeviceRegulationandGuidance/) and CDRH Learn (http://www.fda.gov/Training/CDRHLearn). Additionally, you may contact the Division of Industry and Consumer Education (DICE) to ask a question about a specific regulatory topic.
