More Information

No
The summary describes a mechanical suture anchor and does not mention any software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.

No
The device is an implant used for reattaching soft tissue to bone, which is a structural or supportive function, not a therapeutic one that actively heals or treats a disease through direct biological or physiological action.

No
This device is a surgical implant (suture anchor) used for reattaching soft tissue to bone, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "sterile, single-use, metal implant" and is "manufactured from 316LS Stainless Steel," indicating it is a physical hardware device, not software only.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description: The Conmed Linvatec Hi-Fi™ UltraFix® Knotless Minimite® Suture Anchor is described as a "sterile, single-use, metal implant that is preloaded with high strength size 2 non-absorbable braided polyethylene suture."
  • Intended Use: Its intended use is "for reattaching soft tissue to glenoid bone in the shoulder."

This device is an implantable surgical device used directly within the body for structural repair, not for analyzing biological specimens outside the body.

(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.
