## Intended Use

Peri-Strips Staple Line Reinforcement is intended for use as a prosthesis for the surgical repair of soft tissue deficiencies using surgical staplers when staple line reinforcement is needed. Peri-Strips can be used for reinforcement of staple lines during lung and bronchus resections and during bariatric surgical procedures. Peri-Strips can be used for reinforcement of staple lines during gastric, small bowel, mesentery, colon, and colorectal procedures. Peri-Strips is intended to be used for reinforcement of suture-lines and staple-lines (i.e., occlusion of the left atrial appendage during open chest procedures) during cardiac surgery.

## Device Story

Implantable surgical patch comprised of crosslinked bovine pericardium; used as prosthesis for soft tissue repair and staple line reinforcement. Applied by surgeons during lung, bronchus, bariatric, gastrointestinal, and cardiac procedures. Functions as mechanical reinforcement for staple lines and suture lines; provides structural support to tissue. Used in OR setting. Benefits patient by reducing potential for leaks or tissue failure at surgical staple/suture sites.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence based on technological characteristics and bench testing.

## Technological Characteristics

Implantable patch composed of crosslinked bovine pericardium. Available in sleeve, strip, and dry configurations. Non-electronic, mechanical device. Sterilized for surgical implantation.

## Regulatory Identification

An intracardiac patch or pledget made of polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, or polytetrafluoroethylene is a fabric device placed in the heart that is used to repair septal defects, for patch grafting, to repair tissue, and to buttress sutures.

Dear Ms. Mallery:

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. Iisting of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
