The 510(k) summary describes a mechanical suture anchor and associated instruments. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any software-driven analytical capabilities. The performance studies are bench tests of mechanical properties.
No.
The device is a suture implant used for the mechanical fixation of soft tissue to bone, not for therapy or treatment of a disease.
No.
The device description and intended use clearly state that this is an implant used for fixation of soft tissue to bone (e.g., in various orthopedic repairs), not for diagnosing medical conditions.
No
The device description clearly states it is a physical implant made of PEEK, a suture anchor, and associated instruments, which are all hardware components.
No, 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, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. These tests are performed outside of the body.
- Device Description and Intended Use: The ArthroCare Spartan PEEK Suture Implant is a physical implant designed to fix soft tissue to bone within the body during surgical procedures. It is a surgical device, not a diagnostic test.
- Lack of Diagnostic Function: The description and intended use clearly outline its function as a mechanical anchor for surgical repair. There is no mention of analyzing samples or providing diagnostic information.
Therefore, based on the provided information, the ArthroCare Spartan PEEK Suture Implant is a surgical implant, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Bench performance testing has been completed to demonstrate the substantial equivalence of the ArthroCare Spartan PEEK Suture Implant in accordance with FDA Guidance Document Testing for Bone Anchors. The in vitro testing performed involved insertion of the anchors in a simulated human bone substrate followed by both ultimate strength and cyclic loading tests. The performance testing and device comparison demonstrate that the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device, and is safe and effective for its 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.
