More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a mechanical soft tissue anchor and does not mention any AI or ML components or functions.

Yes
The device is used for soft tissue to bone fixation, which is a therapeutic purpose.

No
Explanation: The device is intended for soft tissue to bone fixation, which is a therapeutic rather than diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly states it consists of a "coreless sleeve structure and suture," which are physical components, not software. The performance studies also focus on mechanical testing of fixation strength.

Based on the provided information, the JuggerKnot™ Soft Anchor is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • The JuggerKnot™ Soft Anchor is a surgical implant intended for soft tissue to bone fixation within the body. It is a physical device used during surgery, not a tool for analyzing biological samples.

The description clearly states its purpose is for "soft tissue to bone fixation" in various anatomical locations. This is a therapeutic or reconstructive function, not a diagnostic one.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Non-clinical laboratory testing was performed to verify the fixation strength of the JuggerKnot™ Soft Anchors in mechanical pullout testing as compared to the predicate devices for specific indications for use. The efficacy of the JuggerKnot™ Soft Anchors was compared to that of the Biomet Sports Medicine Sleeve and Button Soft Tissue Fixation Devices. The test results indicate that the Biomet Sports Medicine JuggerKnot™ Soft Anchors provide equivalent fixation strength to the predicate devices and would be functional within their intended use.

§ 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.

Dear Ms. Wray:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of-intent to-market the device referenced above ând 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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you; however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.
