More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and intended use are for a mechanical suture anchor, and there is no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

Yes

Explanation: The device is intended for fixation of suture to bone in various anatomical locations to repair injuries and pathologies, which directly addresses medical conditions and supports treatment.

No

This device is a suture anchor intended for fixation of suture to bone in various surgical procedures, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description clearly indicates a physical implant (suture anchor) and a driver, which are hardware components. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component.

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 perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The description and intended use clearly indicate that the Arthrex Corkscrew FT Suture Anchor is a surgical implant used to fix suture to bone during various orthopedic procedures. It is a physical device implanted into the body, not a device used to analyze samples outside the body.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a surgical implant or orthopedic device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

§ 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.

SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE SUMMARY

The Arthrex Corkson FT, 4.5 mm and 6.5 mm are substantially equivalent to the predicate Arthrex Bio-Corriscrew FT, 5.5 mm in which the basic features and intended uses are the same. Any differences between the Arthrex 4.5mm and 6.5mm and 6.5mm Corkscrew FT and the 5.5 mm Bio-Corkscrew FT predicate are considered minor and do not raise questions concerning safety and effectiveness. Based on the information submitted, Arthrex, Inc. has determined that the Corkscrew FT ranging in size from 4.5 mm to 6.5 mm, in both PEEK and PLLA, is substantially equivalent to the currently marketed predicate device.
