No
The device description and intended use are for a physical suture anchor made of resorbable material. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or any technology that would incorporate AI or ML. The performance studies are non-clinical laboratory tests, not related to algorithmic performance.
Yes
The device is a suture anchor used for soft tissue reattachment, which is a therapeutic medical procedure.
No
The device, LactoScrew® Suture Anchors, is described as being used for soft tissue reattachment procedures. Its function is to physically connect soft tissue to bone, which is a therapeutic or reconstructive action, not a diagnostic one. Diagnostic devices are used to identify or characterize diseases or conditions.
No
The device description explicitly states the device is comprised of a resorbable copolymer and is a molded suture anchor, indicating it is a physical hardware device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Description and Intended Use: The LactoScrew® Suture Anchors are described as molded suture anchors used to reattach soft tissue to bone during surgical procedures. Their intended use is for various soft tissue reattachment procedures in specific anatomical locations.
- Lack of Specimen Analysis: There is no mention of this device being used to analyze any biological specimens taken from the body. Its function is purely mechanical, for anchoring tissue to bone.
Therefore, the LactoScrew® Suture Anchors fall under the category of surgical implants or devices used in surgical procedures, not In Vitro Diagnostics.

§ 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)

Dear Ms. Alexander:
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
