Shoulder: Rotator cuff repair.
Device Description
The SpiraLok Anchor, like the current BioFastin RC Anchor, is a PLA threaded suture anchor preloaded on a disposable inserter assembly intended for fixation of two strands of suture to bone. Ethibond non-absorbable suture, the Panacryl absorbable suture and the Orthocord composite suture options may include tapered needles to facilitate suture passage through tissue. The attached suture is then used to reattach soft tissue back to bone where it reconnects through the healing process.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical properties and intended use of a suture anchor, with no mention of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is used to fix soft tissue to bone, which is a therapeutic intervention for tissue repair.

No
The device is described as a "threaded suture anchor" used to fix suture to bone for "rotator cuff repair," which is a treatment, not a diagnostic, function.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical anchor made of PLA with a disposable inserter assembly and suture, indicating it is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "Shoulder: Rotator cuff repair." This describes a surgical procedure to repair a physical injury, not a test performed on samples from the body to diagnose a condition.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical implant (a suture anchor) used to fix tissue to bone during surgery. This is a medical device used in vivo (within the body), not in vitro (in glass/outside the body).
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in samples
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening

The Spiralok Anchor is clearly a surgical implant used for musculoskeletal repair.

Device Description

The SpiraLok Anchor, like the current BioFastin RC Anchor, is a PLA threaded suture anchor preloaded on a disposable inserter assembly intended for fixation of two strands of suture to bone. Ethibond non-absorbable suture, the Panacryl absorbable suture and the Orthocord composite suture options may include tapered needles to facilitate suture passage through tissue. The attached suture is then used to reattach soft tissue back to bone where it reconnects through the healing process. The changes being made from the predicate BioFastin RC Anchor to the proposed Spiralok Anchor are either dimensional or material changes. The dimensional changes are minor (as described in detail in Section 2 - Device Description) and do not affect the safety or effectiveness of the device. The second change is a material change to include a third suture option, composite Orthocord (K040004). Orthocord suture was previously cleared by FDA for use in general soft tissue approximation and/or ligation, including use in orthopedic surgeries. The addition of Orthocord suture option and the dimensional changes made to the design of the anchors do not alter the intended use. safety and effectiveness or the fundamental scientific technology of the predicate 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.

process. The changes being made from the predicate BioFastin RC Anchor to Substantial Equivalence the proposed Spiralok Anchor are either dimensional or material changes. The dimensional changes are minor (as described in detail in Section 2 - Device Description) and do not affect the safety or effectiveness of the device. The second change is a material change to include a third suture option, composite Orthocord (K040004).

The addition of Orthocord suture option and the dimensional changes made to the design of the anchors do not alter the intended use. safety and effectiveness or the fundamental scientific technology of the predicate device. Mitek believes that the Spiralok Anchor is substantially equivalent to Mitek's BioFastin RC Anchor (K021883). A statement of substantial equivalence is provided in Section 3 and the 510(k) "Substantial Equivalence" Decision-Making Process is attached in Appendix III. Safety and Performance The determination of substantial equivalence for this device was based on a detailed device description and changes that intend to be made to currently marketed devices. Non-clinical laboratory testing was performed demonstrating that the device is safe and performs as intended.

Dear Ms. Forstadt:

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.
