Indications for Use

Approximation of the wall of a hollow viscus to the anterior abdominal wall prior to the introduction of interventional catheters.

Device Story

The AMT Suture Delivery System is a sterile, single-use, manually operated device used to anchor a hollow viscus to the abdominal wall. It is used percutaneously by a clinician to facilitate the subsequent placement of interventional catheters. The device consists of a hand-held applicator pre-loaded with non-absorbable suture. During operation, two needles are inserted through the abdominal wall into the viscus; the device is manually activated to pass the suture between needles, forming a percutaneous U-stitch. The needles are then removed, leaving only the suture and an anti-splay component in the patient to maintain tissue approximation. All other delivery components are discarded. The device provides a mechanical means of securing tissue to assist in clinical procedures, benefiting the patient by ensuring stable viscus positioning during catheter introduction.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data or animal studies were performed. Substantial equivalence is supported by bench testing, including biocompatibility (ISO 10993), sterilization validation (ISO 11135), shelf-life/packaging testing (ASTM F1980, ISO 11607, ISTA 3A), and mechanical performance testing (ISO 7864, ISO 9626, USP <871>, USP <881>).

Technological Characteristics

Materials: Stainless steel and plastic. Energy source: Manual (non-powered). Form factor: Hand-held, disposable, pre-loaded suture delivery system. Sterilization: Ethylene Oxide (SAL 10^-6). Connectivity: None. Software: None.

Indications for Use

Indicated for anchoring the wall of a hollow viscus to the abdominal wall prior to the introduction of interventional catheters and stay in place for up to 14 days in child, adolescent, and adult populations.

{5}------------------------------------------------

As outlined above, minor differences exist among the AMT Suture Delivery System and the predicate devices. These differences include:

- Material of Retention: The subject device applies tension to approximate tissues using only suture material. The predicate device approximates tissues using suture attached to internal metal anchors.
- Method of deployment: The subject device features a delivery system featuring two needles ● that when deployed, pass suture from one needle to ther in order to form a percutaneous u-stitch; the predicate uses a single needle that when deployed percutaneously delivers suture and metal anchors.

These design differences between the Suture Delivery System (subject device), and the predicate (K182832) do not raise different questions of safety and/or effectiveness from the predicate device. The intended use and indications for use remain the identical between the AMT Suture Delivery System and the predicate device.

#### VII. PERFORMANCE DATA:

## A. Biocompatibility Testing:

Following a well-documented biological evaluation plan, biocompatibility testing results demonstrate that the device is in compliance with ISO 10993-1- Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices, Part 1: Evaluation and Testing.

# B. Software:

There are no software components related in any way to this device. Therefore, this section for Software Validation is not applicable to this device.

# C. Electromagnetic Compatibility & Electrical Safety:

The metal suture delivery component is discarded after placing suture in the patient's tissues. Use of the manually operated suture delivery device leaves only a suture in the patient. Therefore, Electromagnetic Compatibility and Electrical Safety Validation is not applicable to this device.
