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 AI/ML.

No.
The device is a suture anchor used for tissue fixation and repair, not for treating or rehabilitating a disease or injury.

No

This device is a surgical anchor used for suture or tissue fixation, not a diagnostic tool that identifies or characterizes a medical condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "biocomposite suture anchor with a molded-in suture eyelet" and is "loaded on a driver and pre-loaded polyester suture," indicating it is a physical implant and associated delivery system, not software.

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, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description: The Arthrex BioComposite SutureTak is a physical implantable device (a suture anchor) used for fixing sutures or tissue within the body during surgery.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes surgical procedures for repairing ligaments, tendons, and other tissues in various joints. This is a therapeutic/surgical use, not a diagnostic one involving analyzing bodily specimens.

The device is a surgical implant, not a diagnostic tool.

§ 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.

| Substantial Equivalence
Summary | The Arthrex BioComposite SutureTak is substantially
equivalent to the Arthrex BioComposite SutureTak Anchors
(K091844), in which the basic features, materials and intended
uses are the same. Any differences between the BioComposite
SutureTak and the predicate are considered minor and do not
raise questions concerning safety and effectiveness.
