FDA classification definition

To repair the mitral valve by coapting the valve leaflets to prevent mitral regurgitation. These devices are different from the classified device (annuloplasty rings) in that a cardiotomy is not required to place them, some of them are placed percutaneously, and they definitely are not rings that are sewn on to the valve annulus.
