The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical properties and function of a suture anchor, with no mention of AI or ML.
Yes
This device is a suture anchor used for the reattachment and repair of soft tissues to bone, which falls under the category of therapeutic medical interventions.
No
Explanation: The device is a surgical implant designed for attaching soft tissue to bone, not for diagnosing medical conditions. Its indications for use are all related to repair procedures, and the device description details its material and function as a fastener.
No
The device description clearly states it is a threaded, tapered fastener made from Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polyetheretherketone (PEEK CF) and comes preloaded with sutures, indicating it is a physical implantable device, not software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for "attachment of soft tissue to bone" in various anatomical locations. This is a surgical procedure performed in vivo (within the living body).
- Device Description: The description details a physical implant (suture anchor) made of PEEK CF, preloaded with sutures. This is a medical device used for surgical repair, not for testing biological samples in vitro.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) outside of the body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the body to provide diagnostic information. This device is a surgical implant used to physically repair tissue.

§ 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 Parcus V-LoX PEEK CF Suture Anchors are essentially the same as the Parcus V-LoX Titanium Suture Anchors aside from the difference in material.
The only difference between the materials for the Parcus V-LoX PEEK CF Suture Anchor and the Smith & Nephew TWINFIX FT PK is that the Parcus Suture Anchor is carbon reinforced. Carbon fibers have been used clinically for more than 20 years as a reinforcement component for implant materials without obvious leachable-related biocompatibility reactions. Furthermore, there are currently several medical device implants on the market made from PEEK CF (e.g. Zimmer Spine BAK® Vista® Radiolucent Interbody Fusion System and the Depuy Spine OCELOT™ Stackable Cage System).
Therefore the Parcus V-LoX PEEK CF Suture Anchor is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices listed above in which the basic features and intended uses are the same. Any differences between the V-LoX PEEK CF Suture Anchor and the predicate devices are considered minor and do not raise questions concerning safety and effectiveness.
Summary Performance Data:
The Parcus V-LoX PEEK CF Suture Anchors were placed in prepared holes and the pull out strength and insertion torque was measured. Test results were compared to the results for the Parcus V-LoX Titanium Suture Anchors and demonstrated substantial equivalence.
