Overview
AI-generated summary, 19 Sep 2026
The Posterior Annuloplasty Band (Model 607) is a ring-type annuloplasty device designed to support and stabilize the mitral valve annulus during surgical repair. It is classified as an annuloplasty ring and functions by providing structural reinforcement to the posterior leaflet of the mitral valve, helping to restore annular geometry and improve valve function.
This device is supplied as a single-use, sterile implant composed of a polyester fabric-covered, pliable silicone elastomer strip impregnated with barium sulfate for radiopacity. It is intended for use in cardiovascular surgical settings and has received FDA 510(k) clearance under the Traditional review pathway, with a classification as a Class II device. The device is tracked by the FDA under registration number 2015691 and associated FEI numbers.

Questions
AI-generated answers, 19 Sep 2026
What is the primary purpose of the Posterior Annuloplasty Band (Model 607) in mitral valve surgery?
The Posterior Annuloplasty Band (Model 607) is designed to provide structural reinforcement to the posterior leaflet of the mitral valve. By supporting and stabilizing the mitral valve annulus, it helps restore the annular geometry, which improves overall valve function and reduces the risk of mitral regurgitation during surgical repair.
Is the Posterior Annuloplasty Band (Model 607) intended for reuse, or is it meant to be used only once?
The Posterior Annuloplasty Band (Model 607) is explicitly supplied as a single-use device. This ensures sterility and safety for each patient, as it is intended to be implanted during surgery without subsequent reuse.
How is the Posterior Annuloplasty Band (Model 607) made visible during imaging, and what material is it constructed from?
The band is constructed from a pliable silicone elastomer strip covered in polyester fabric, which provides flexibility and durability. To ensure visibility under X-ray or fluoroscopy, it is impregnated with barium sulfate, a radiopaque substance that enhances imaging clarity during surgical procedures.
What regulatory pathway was followed for FDA clearance of the Posterior Annuloplasty Band (Model 607), and how is it classified?
The device received FDA clearance under the Traditional review pathway and is classified as a Class II medical device. It is tracked under registration number 2015691 and falls under the product code KRH, which categorizes it within cardiovascular surgical annuloplasty devices.
