## Intended Use

For polyester and polypropylene LSI SOLUTIONS® Suture Quick Load® Products: general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation. For polyglycolic acid (PGA) and polydioxanone (PDS) LSI SOLUTIONS® Suture Quick Load® Products: general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in ophthalmic procedures, but not for use in cardiovascular and neurological procedures.

## Device Story

Surgical suture products featuring ferrule attachments; designed for use with LSI SOLUTIONS® SEW-RIGHT® and PLACE-RIGHT® suture placement devices. Ferrules function similarly to traditional needle attachments to facilitate suture delivery. Used by surgeons for soft tissue approximation and ligation. Benefits include compatibility with specialized placement instrumentation for efficient suture handling.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence based on technological characteristics and intended use compared to legally marketed predicate devices.

## Technological Characteristics

Surgical sutures composed of polyester, polypropylene, poly(glycolide/L-lactide), or polydioxanone. Features ferrule attachments for mechanical coupling with LSI placement devices. Class II devices per 21 CFR 878.5000, 878.5010, 878.4493, and 878.4840.

## Regulatory Identification

An absorbable polydioxanone surgical suture is an absorbable, flexible, sterile, monofilament thread prepared from polyester polymer poly (p-dioxanone) and is intended for use in soft tissue approximation, including pediatric cardiovascular tissue where growth is expected to occur, and ophthalmic surgery. It may be coated or uncoated, undyed or dyed, and with or without a standard needle attached.

## Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The special control for the device is FDA's “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Surgical Sutures; Guidance for Industry and FDA.” See § 878.1(e) for the availability of this guidance document.

Dear Mr. Klaczyk:

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

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such 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 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); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4659. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the regulation entitled.
