The summary describes a mechanical suture anchor and does not mention any software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.
Yes
The device is a suture anchor used for the reattachment of soft tissues, which is a therapeutic procedure aimed at restoring anatomical structure and function.
No
The device is a suture anchor used for the reattachment of soft tissues, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description clearly states it is a "sterile single use anchor system" designed to anchor suture to bone, indicating it is a physical hardware device, not software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
- Device Description and Intended Use: The description clearly states the device is a "suture anchor to facilitate percutaneous or endoscopic soft tissue procedures." It is designed to be implanted in the body to anchor sutures to bone. This is a surgical device used in vivo (within the living body), not in vitro (in glass or outside the body).
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory tests.
Therefore, the Smith & Nephew TwinFix Ti Quick T is a surgical implant, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 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.
