Intended Use
The SpiraLok Anchor is intended for: Shoulder: Rotor Cuff Repair, Biceps Tenodesis, Acromio-Clavicular Separation Repair; Foot/Ankle: Lateral Stabilization, Medial Stabilization, Achilles Tendon Repair; Knee: Medial Collateral Ligament Repair, Lateral Collateral Ligament Repair, Posterior Oblique Ligament Repair, Iliotibial Band Tenodesis; Elbow: Biceps Tendon Reattachment, Ulnar or Radial Collateral Ligament Reconstruction.
Device Description
The SpiraLok 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 surgical application of a suture anchor, with no mention of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is intended for the repair and reattachment of tissues to bone, which constitutes a therapeutic intervention.

No

Explanation: The device description indicates that the SpiraLok Anchor is a surgical implant used for reattaching soft tissue to bone. Its intended uses are for various repairs and reconstructions, which are therapeutic interventions, not diagnostic procedures.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical, implantable medical device (a PLA threaded suture anchor) and its associated disposable inserter assembly. It is not a software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical device used for fixing sutures to bone to reattach soft tissue. This is a therapeutic and structural function within the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical implant (suture anchor) and its associated components for surgical implantation.
  • 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. The SpiraLok Anchor is used in vivo (inside the body) for surgical 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. 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
