Intended Use
The Axya Model 2000 AxyaLoop™ Self-Tapping Bone Anchor is indicated for securing synthetic monofilament non-absorbable suture to bone. This device is intended for use in repair of shoulder injuries. The 5mm anchor may typically be used to repair rotator cuff injuries. The 3 mm anchor may typically be used to repair recurrent dislocation of the shoulder where the anchor is placed through the metaphyseal cortex such as in the case of a Bankart lesion repair procedure.
Device Description
The device described in this submission is designed with a corkscrew style thread and will be made available initially in two sizes (diameters) specifically for use in shoulder repairs. (i.e. rotator cuff repairs). The Axya Self-Tapping Bone Anchor will be made available as a system together with a bone punch and a delivery/extraction tool. These accessories are the same types of instruments included in procedure sets for currently marketed bone anchor systems. Axya Medical believes that the accessory instruments are Class I Manual Surgical Instruments and are exempt from the premarket Notification regulations. The Axya Model 2000 AxyaLoop Self-Tapping Bone Anchor is prethreaded with size 2 USP polypropylene monofilament suture material. The suture is a legally marketed material, manufactured by one of several contract suppliers. The Model 2000 Self-Tapping Bone Anchor is designed to be used in both standard open surgical procedures and in minimally invasive (arthroscopic) surgical procedures.
More Information

No
The document describes a mechanical bone anchor and associated surgical tools, with no mention of software, algorithms, or any technology related to AI or ML.

Yes.
The device is indicated for securing suture to bone in the repair of shoulder injuries, which falls under the definition of a therapeutic intervention.

No

The device is a bone anchor used for securing sutures to bone during surgical repair procedures, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a bone anchor, which is a physical implantable device made of material and designed with a specific geometry. It also mentions associated physical tools (bone punch, delivery/extraction tool). This is not a software-only device.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The Axya Model 2000 AxyaLoop™ Self-Tapping Bone Anchor is a surgical implant used to physically secure suture to bone during shoulder repair procedures. It is used in vivo (within the living body), not in vitro (in a lab setting).
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "securing synthetic monofilament non-absorbable suture to bone" in the repair of shoulder injuries. This is a surgical function, not a diagnostic one.

The information provided describes a surgical device used for mechanical fixation within the body, which is distinct from the function of an IVD.

Summary of Performance Studies

The 510(k) Notice contains summaries of in vitro studies which were conducted to evaluate the anchor pull-out strength as specified in the FDA Guidance Document for Testing Bone Anchor Devices (dated April 20, 1996).

The data presented demonstrate that the anchor pull-out force of the Axya Model 2000 AxyaLoop Self-Tapping Bone Anchor was equivalent to that of the predicate device of similar corkscrew geometry (Mitek Fastin RC). The failure mode observed for the both anchors was predominately anchor pull-out.

§ 888.3040 Smooth or threaded metallic bone fixation fastener.

(a)
Identification. A smooth or threaded metallic bone fixation fastener is a device intended to be implanted that consists of a stiff wire segment or rod made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum and stainless steel, and that may be smooth on the outside, fully or partially threaded, straight or U-shaped; and may be either blunt pointed, sharp pointed, or have a formed, slotted head on the end. It may be used for fixation of bone fractures, for bone reconstructions, as a guide pin for insertion of other implants, or it may be implanted through the skin so that a pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system.(b)
Classification. Class II.

Substantial Equivalence

This submission supports the position that the Axya Model 2000 AxyaLoop Self-Tapping Bone Anchor is substantially equivalent to previously cleared devices, including the Mitek Fastin ® Suture Anchor [501(k) Number K983818].

The 510(k) Notice contains summaries of in vitro studies which were conducted to evaluate the anchor pull-out strength as specified in the FDA Guidance Document for Testing Bone Anchor Devices (dated April 20, 1996).

The data presented demonstrate that the anchor pull-out force of the Axya Model 2000 AxyaLoop Self-Tapping Bone Anchor was equivalent to that of the predicate device of similar corkscrew geometry (Mitek Fastin RC). The failure mode observed for the both anchors was predominately anchor pull-out.

The single-patient-use components of the bone anchor system are provided sterile. The suture material and bone anchors are sterilized by a process equivalent to the process used by the original suture manufacturer.

Axya Medical, Inc. believes that the information provided establishes that similar legally marketed bone anchor devices have been used for the same clinical applications as the Axya Model 2000 AxyaLoop Self-Tapping Bone Anchor. The materials from which the Axya device is fabricated have an established history of use in medical applications, and devices produced by Axya have been tested in accordance with applicable FDA guidelines.
