More Information

Not Found

No
The 510(k) summary describes a mechanical suture anchor device and its intended uses. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any software-driven analytical capabilities. The performance studies focus on biomechanical and mechanical testing, not algorithmic performance.

No.
The device is an orthopedic anchoring system used for tissue fixation, which aids in repair after injury or surgery, rather than actively treating a disease or condition itself.

No.
The document states that the device is intended for "suture (soft tissue) to bone" in various repair procedures, which are therapeutic interventions rather than diagnostic ones.

No

The device description and intended use clearly describe a physical implant (anchors) used for surgical fixation of soft tissue to bone. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component of the device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The provided text clearly describes the Arthrex PushLock Anchors as devices intended for suture (soft tissue) to bone fixation during surgical procedures in various anatomical locations. This is a surgical implant, not a device that analyzes biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any analysis of biological specimens, diagnostic purposes, or laboratory use, which are hallmarks of IVDs.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the Arthrex PushLock Anchors are surgical implants used for tissue fixation, 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)
Classification. Class II.

strength) of the proposed devices is substantially equivalent to the

biomechanical and mechanical testing of the predicate devices.
Based on the indication for use, technological characteristics, and
the comparison to the predicate devices, Arthrex, Inc. has
determined that the PushLock Anchors family is substantially
equivalent to currently marketed predicate devices.
