Intended Use
The CINCH Bone Anchor System is intended to be used for fixation of soft tissue to bone during rotator cuff repair.
Device Description
The CINCH Bone Anchor System provides surgeons with a fixation anchor that can be used during arthroscopic shoulder procedures. The device is available in two configurations, the CINCH WRC Anchor and the CINCH RRC Anchor. Both configurations are provided pre-loaded in a delivery instrument. The CINCH WRC Anchor configuration is comprised of a curved PEEK base, a flared nitinol clip, two nitinol laser cut rings and a nitinol anchor pin. The device is preloaded in the CINCH Inserter The CINCH RRC Anchor, is comprised of a machine molded cylindrical PEEK base, two nitinol laser cut rings and a nitinol anchor pin This device is also preloaded in a CINCH Inserter. The design of the CINCH Bone Anchors is intended to permit surgeons to have direct tactile feedback of the tension in the suture between the tissue and the bone. Additionally, the CINCH Anchors are designed to allow the two ends of a suture to be individually adjusted. This permits the surgeon to fine-tune the placement of the tissue with respect to the bone, and then secure the suture without tying a knot.
More Information

No
The description focuses on the mechanical design and materials of the bone anchor system, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" section explicitly states "Not Found".

No
The device is described as a fixation anchor for soft tissue to bone during surgical repair, not as a device that delivers therapy.

No
The device is described as a fixation anchor for soft tissue to bone during rotator cuff repair, focusing on mechanical fixation and surgical technique, not diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly details physical components made of PEEK and nitinol, preloaded in a delivery instrument, and intended for physical implantation during surgery. There is no mention of software as a component or function of the device.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "fixation of soft tissue to bone during rotator cuff repair." This is a surgical procedure performed in vivo (within the living body).
  • Device Description: The device is a physical implant (bone anchor) used to secure tissue. It does not involve testing samples of bodily fluids or tissues in vitro (outside the living body).
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Detecting or measuring substances in samples
    • Providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening

The CINCH Bone Anchor System is a surgical implant used for mechanical fixation during a surgical procedure.

§ 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.
