Device consists of knitted polypropylene monofilament fiber mesh body, dilators with association loops, mesh sleeve, and center tab. Used with delivery devices featuring polymer handles and stainless steel needles to place implant. Operated by surgeons in clinical/surgical settings. Mesh provides mechanical support to urethra to treat stress urinary incontinence. Benefit is restoration of continence in patients with urethral hypermobility or intrinsic sphincter deficiency. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data. Substantial equivalence based on identical materials, design, and intended use to predicate devices; bench testing and biocompatibility data previously established. ## Technological Characteristics Knitted polypropylene monofilament fiber mesh. Delivery system includes polymer handle and stainless steel needle. Sterile, single-use. No software or electronic components. ## Regulatory Identification Surgical mesh is a metallic or polymeric screen intended to be implanted to reinforce soft tissue or bone where weakness exists. Examples of surgical mesh are metallic and polymeric mesh for hernia repair, and acetabular and cement restrictor mesh used during orthopedic surgery. ## Predicate Devices - Advantage™, Advantage Fit™ System & Lynx™ Systems ([K020110](/device/K020110.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

K020110 | #### E. Device Description The proposed sling is a sterile, single use device, consisting of a synthetic mesh sling assembly and packaged with a delivery device. The mesh assembly consists of a knitted polypropylene monofilament fiber mesh body implant, dilators with association loops, mesh sleeve and center tab. Addition of documentation for Special 510(k) K040787 Surgical Mesh April 11, 2013 {1}------------------------------------------------ #### Accessories The proposed sling is packaged with other legally marketed accessories (e.g., Delivery Device; Class I exempt: 876.4730 Manual gastroenterology-urology surgical instrument and accessories). Two (2) delivery devices (Halo or Curved) are used in conjunction with the mesh assembly to place the mesh implant. Each of the delivery devices consist of a polymer handle and a stainless steel needle which extends from the handle. The tip of the needle has a slot which is used to attach the association loop of the mesh assembly #### F. Intended Use The mesh implant is intended for use as a suburethral sling for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence resulting from urethral hypermobility and/or intrinsic sphincter deficiency. #### G. Technological Characteristics The intended use and the materials of the surgical mesh are identical to the predicate device. #### H. Substantial Equivalence Utilizing FDA's Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff "Format for Traditional and Abbreviated 510(k)s" and "Guidance for the Preparation of a Premarket Notification Application for a Surgical Mesh", a direct comparison of key characteristics demonstrates that the proposed sling is substantially equivalent to the predicate sling in terms of intended use, technological characteristics, and performance characteristics tested. The proposed sling is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as the predicate devices. #### 1. Non-Clinicial Testing The surgical mesh is identical to currently marketed surgical mesh in terms of performance characteristics, biocompatibility, and intended use. Therefore, testing was not required to be repeated on the surgical mesh. #### Conclusion: Based on testing results of the material, biocompatiblity, bench testing, and the proposed device labeling, the device is substantially equivalent to the identified predicate device in terms of intended use, previously classified under 21 CFR 878.3300 as Class II, mesh surgical, polymeric, in terms of intended use and thefore do not adversely effect safety and effectiveness.
