Intended Use
Duet™ and Impact™ Suture Anchors are intended for use to reattach soft tissue to bone in orthopaedic surgical procedures. The device may be used in either arthroscopic or open surgical procedures. After the suture is anchored to the bone, it may be used to reattach soft tissue, such as ligaments, tendons, or joint capsules, to the bone. The suture anchor system thereby stabilizes the damaged soft tissue, in conjunction with appropriate postoperative immobilization, throughout the healing period. The Duet™ and Impact™ Suture Anchors are contraindicated in 1) Surgical procedures other than those listed, 2) Conditions that may compromise Anchor fixation (osteopenic, comminuted bone, pathologic conditions in the soft tissues to be attached, etc., 3) Conditions that may retard healing (poor blood supply, past or potential infection, etc), 4) Active infection, 5) Conditions that may limit the patients ability or willingness to restrict activities or follow directions during the healing period, 6) Foreign body sensitivity to materials, 7) Patients with suspected or known allergy with implant or suture materials.
Device Description
Duet™ Suture Anchor and Impact™ Suture Anchors are bioabsorbale suture anchors that are preloaded on a disposable inserter device with two non-absorbable sutures. Originally they were preloaded with non-absorbable, braided, polyester #2 sutures, one of them is green and another one is white. Purpose of this special 510(k) premarket notification is amendment of new preloaded suture material into Duet™ and Impact™ suture anchor product lines. The new suture, Herculine is non-absorbable, braided, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene #2 suture. In coloured version 2 filaments are replaced by blue polypropylene monofilaments Herculine suture meets USP requirements for knot tensile strength and needle attachment strength.
More Information

No
The 510(k) summary describes a bioabsorbable suture anchor and its preloaded suture material. There is no mention of AI or ML technology in the intended use, device description, or any other section. The purpose of the submission is an amendment for a new preloaded suture material.

Yes.
The device is described as "suture anchors" intended "to reattach soft tissue to bone in orthopaedic surgical procedures," specifically by "stabiliz[ing] the damaged soft tissue, in conjunction with appropriate postoperative immobilization, throughout the healing period," which directly addresses a health condition.

No

The device description clearly states that these are "suture anchors intended for use to reattach soft tissue to bone in orthopaedic surgical procedures," functioning as an implant for stabilization during healing, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a bioabsorbable suture anchor preloaded on a disposable inserter device, which are physical components, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for "reattach soft tissue to bone in orthopaedic surgical procedures." This is a surgical implant used directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The description details a "bioabsorbable suture anchor" and "non-absorbable sutures" used for surgical fixation.
  • 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, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment.

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

§ 888.3030 Single/multiple component metallic bone fixation appliances and accessories.

(a)
Identification. Single/multiple component metallic bone fixation appliances and accessories are devices intended to be implanted consisting of one or more metallic components and their metallic fasteners. The devices contain a plate, a nail/plate combination, or a blade/plate combination that are made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, stainless steel, and titanium, that are intended to be held in position with fasteners, such as screws and nails, or bolts, nuts, and washers. These devices are used for fixation of fractures of the proximal or distal end of long bones, such as intracapsular, intertrochanteric, intercervical, supracondylar, or condylar fractures of the femur; for fusion of a joint; or for surgical procedures that involve cutting a bone. The devices may be implanted or attached through the skin so that a pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system.(b)
Classification. Class II.

Dear Ms. Annala:

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
