Device Description
The Healix BR and Gryphon BR Anchors are absorbable threaded suture anchors manufactured of "Biocryl Rapide" material. The threaded anchor comes preloaded on a disposable inserter assembly and is intended for fixation of #2 suture to bone. The Healix BR Anchor is provided in three sizes: one with an outer diameter of 4.5mm. another with an outer diameter of 5.5mm and the third with an outer diameter of 6.5mm. The Gryphon BR Anchor is provided as size 3.0mm. The suture options may or may not include tapered needles to facilitate suture passage through tissue. The Healix BR and Gryphon BR Anchors are currently offered with absorbable Panacryl, non-absorbable Ethibond or partially absorbable Orthocord suture options.
More Information

No
The device description and intended use are for a physical suture anchor and its associated components, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" field is also explicitly marked as "Not Found".

No.
The device is a suture anchor used for fixation of soft tissue to bone during orthopedic repair procedures, which supports the healing process but does not directly provide therapy.

No

Explanation: The device description states that the product is an absorbable threaded suture anchor intended for fixation of suture to bone, used in various repairs and reconstructions. This is a surgical implant used for treatment, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly describes physical, absorbable threaded suture anchors made of "Biocryl Rapide" material, preloaded on a disposable inserter assembly. This is a hardware medical device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This is done outside of the body (in vitro).
  • Device Description: The description clearly states that the Healix BR and Gryphon BR Anchors are "absorbable threaded suture anchors" intended for "fixation of #2 suture to bone." This is a surgical implant used inside the body to repair tissues.
  • Intended Use: The intended uses listed are all surgical procedures involving the repair of ligaments, tendons, and other tissues within the body.

The device is a surgical implant, not a diagnostic tool that analyzes biological samples.

§ 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)
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
