Device Description
The Metal Screw Anchor is a screw-type anchor used to provide means for attaching soft tissue to bone during healing. The device is manufactured out of theuile for ucasioning con is available in two sizes, 3.0 mm. The screw anchor consists of a screw portion and a head portion. The 3.0 mm size anchor will be available with a monofilament suture, #1 suture, or #2 suture while the 5.0 mm size anchor will be available with a monofilament suture, two #2 sutures or a #5 suture. The Metal Scrow Anchor will be packaged sterile and will be preloaded on a driver with suture.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical properties and intended use of a physical screw anchor for soft tissue reattachment. There is no mention of any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is used in soft tissue reattachment procedures for healing, which falls under the definition of a therapeutic intervention.

No

Explanation: The device description states it is a "screw-type anchor used to provide means for attaching soft tissue to bone during healing," and its intended use is for "soft tissue reattachment procedures." These functions are therapeutic, not diagnostic.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "Metal Screw Anchor" and describes its physical components (screw portion, head portion, suture), materials (titanium alloy), and packaging (packaged sterile, preloaded on a driver). This indicates it is a physical medical device, not software-only.

Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use/Indications for Use: The intended use is for soft tissue reattachment procedures in various anatomical locations (shoulder, wrist, elbow, knee, ankle/foot). This is a surgical procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is a physical implant (a screw-type anchor) used to attach soft tissue to bone.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue samples) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVD devices are used in vitro (outside the body) to analyze biological samples. This device is used in vivo (inside the body) during surgery.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

Indications for the Metal Screw Anchor include use in soft tissue reattachment procedures in the shoulder, wrist, elbow, and knee.

Specific indications are as follows:

Shoulder Indications - Bankart repair, SLAP lesion repair, acromioclavicular separation, rotator cuff repair, capsule repair, or capsulolabral reconstruction, biceps tenodesis, and deltoid repair.

Wrist/Hand Indications - Scapholunate ligament reconstruction, and ulnar/radial collateral ligament reconstruction.

Ankle/Foot Indications - Lateral stabilization, medial stabilization, Achilles tendon repair/reconstruction, hallux valgus reconstruction, mid- and forefoot reconstruction.

Elbow Indications - Ulnar or radial collateral ligament reconstruction, and biceps tendon reconstruction.

Knee Indications - Medial collateral ligament repair, lateral collateral ligament repair, posterior oblique ligament repair, joint capsule closure, iliotibial band tenodesis, and patellar ligament/tendon repair.

§ 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.

Dear Ms. Shultz:

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.
