K040787 American Medical System.Inc .: K073703 ### E. Device Description The proposed device 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 with polypropylene carriers, each are attached to separate ends. # Accessories The proposed mesh sling configuration is packaged with other legally marketed accessories (e.g., Delivery Device; Class I exempt: 876.4730 Manual gastroenterology-urology surgical instrument and accessories). AUG 2.7 2008 {1}------------------------------------------------ K081275 kg 2022 # 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 proposed device has the same and/or equivalent technological characteristics (i.e. mesh design and mesh material) as the predicate(s). # 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 mesh is substantially equivalent to the predicate mesh in terms of intended use, technological characteristics, and performance characteristics tested. The proposed device is as safe, as effective, and performs as well as the predicate device. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
