The summary describes a mechanical surgical anchor and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI or ML.
No.
The device is a non-suturable soft tissue anchor used for reattachment (fixation) of soft tissues to bone, which aligns with a surgical implant/fixation device rather than a therapeutic device in a broader sense that would treat a disease or condition. Its purpose is mechanical fixation, not therapeutic intervention in the context of treating or healing a disease or pathological condition.
No
Explanation: The device is a suture anchor used for reattachment of soft tissues to bone. Its intended use is therapeutic (fixation of tissues), not diagnostic (identifying a disease or condition).
No
The device description clearly states it is a suture anchor, which is a physical bone fixation fastener made of metallic material. It is a hardware device, not software.
Based on the provided text, 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: The Anspach Arthroscopic Knotless Anchor is described as a "suture Anchor per CFR 21, Part 888.3040," which is a "smooth or threaded metallic bone fixation fastener."
- Intended Use: The intended use is for "reattachment (fixation) of soft tissues to bone." This is a surgical procedure performed directly on the body, not a test performed on a sample outside the body.
The description clearly indicates that this is a surgical implant used for mechanical fixation within the body, which falls under the category of medical devices, but not specifically in vitro diagnostics.

Device Description
A suture Anchor per CFR 21, Part 888.3040, is a smooth or threaded metallic bone fixation fastener and is a Class II device.
The Anspach anchor is a design modification of the existing Anspach Suture Anchor that permits soft tissue attachment to bone but does so in a manner that eliminates the need for the surgeon to have to tie sutures to the anchor.
This device can reduce surgical procedure time, surgeon frustration and fatigue associated with arthroscopic knot tying.
The Anspach Knotless Anchor is constructed of the same materials under the same manufacturing process controls as existing devices. It introduces no new or modified indications for use, risks, hazards, safety or effectiveness issues, and may help reduce surgical time which for abo, halto, fiazar as, our entient. Testing has confirmed the Knotless Anchor to be as effective (or more so) in placement and performance as other marketed devices, including the predicate Anspach device(s).
Packaging, labeling, handling and storage conditions are consistent with current designs and accessory tools used in placement of the anchor are essentially the same as existing devices. There are no changes to cleaning, storage processes from existing accessory devices.
The Anspach Knotless Anchor is distributed pre-sterilized to an SAL of 10°. Accessory surgical tools are packaged clean, non-sterile and distributed separate from the anchor 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.

510(k) SUMMARY
Anspach Knotless Suture Anchor
A suture Anchor per CFR 21, Part 888.3040, is a smooth or threaded metallic bone fixation fastener and is a Class II device.
The Anspach anchor is a design modification of the existing Anspach Suture Anchor that permits soft tissue attachment to bone but does so in a manner that eliminates the need for the surgeon to have to tie sutures to the anchor.
This device can reduce surgical procedure time, surgeon frustration and fatigue associated with arthroscopic knot tying.
The device is indicated for use in reattachment (fixation) of soft tissues to bone in applications including the pubis, ischium, ileum, humerus, scapula, radius, ulna, femur, tibia, fibula, patella inolaing the party foot. It is specifically not intended for use in the spine or for repair of the anterior or posterior cruciate ligaments.
The Anspach Knotless Anchor is indicated for use with specific brands and types of suture materials, which include the following:
| Arthrotek: | "MaxBraid" |
|---|---|
| Smith & Nephew: | "UltraBraid" |
| Opus Medical: | "Magnum Wire" |
| Linvatec: | "Herculine" |
Suture materials identified as "Braided # 2 polyester" and Arthrex # 2 "Fiberwire" are not recommended for use with the Anspach Arthroscopic Knotless Anchor.
The Anspach Knotless Anchor is constructed of the same materials under the same manufacturing process controls as existing devices. It introduces no new or modified indications for use, risks, hazards, safety or effectiveness issues, and may help reduce surgical time which for abo, halto, fiazar as, our entient. Testing has confirmed the Knotless Anchor to be as effective (or more so) in placement and performance as other marketed devices, including the predicate Anspach device(s).
Packaging, labeling, handling and storage conditions are consistent with current designs and accessory tools used in placement of the anchor are essentially the same as existing devices. There are no changes to cleaning, storage processes from existing accessory devices.
The Anspach Knotless Anchor is distributed pre-sterilized to an SAL of 10°. Accessory surgical tools are packaged clean, non-sterile and distributed separate from the anchor device.

Dear Mr. Conety:
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.
