More Information

Not Found

No
The 510(k) summary describes a mechanical suture anchor and inserter assembly. There is no mention of software, algorithms, image processing, or any terms related to AI/ML. The performance studies are limited to bench testing of mechanical properties.

No
The device is a suture anchor used for the mechanical fixation of soft tissue or suture to bone, which aids in repair/reconstruction but does not directly provide a therapeutic effect itself; it is a surgical aid.

No
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" and "Device Description" sections state that the device is a suture anchor and inserter assembly for fixation of surgical suture or soft tissue to bone, used for repair and reconstruction. This describes a surgical implant/device, not a device used to diagnose a medical condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "preloaded, disposable suture anchors/ inserters assembly," which are physical hardware components.

Based on the provided text, 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, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The description clearly states that this device is a "preloaded, disposable suture anchors/inserters assembly for soft tissue repair to bone in the hand and skull." Its intended use is for "fixation of non-absorbable braided polyester or partially absorbable braided composite surgical suture to bone" and "fixation of soft tissue to bone, using suture."
  • Mechanism of Action: The device is a physical implant used to anchor sutures to bone during surgical repair. It does not perform any tests on biological samples.

Therefore, the function and purpose of this device fall under the category of surgical implants and instruments, not in vitro diagnostics.

§ 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.
