More Information

Not Found

No
The 510(k) summary describes a mechanical soft tissue anchor and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

Yes.
The device is used for soft tissue to bone fixation, which treats a medical condition by restoring anatomical structure.

No
The device, JuggerKnot™ Mini Soft Anchors, is described as intended for soft tissue to bone fixation and is used in surgical procedures like Bankart repair or ligament reconstruction. It is a therapy device, not a diagnostic one.

No

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

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • JuggerKnot™ Mini Soft Anchors Function: The description clearly states that the JuggerKnot™ Mini Soft Anchors are intended for soft tissue to bone fixation during surgical procedures. They are implanted into the body to hold tissues in place.
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: There is no mention of this device being used to analyze any biological specimens. Its function is purely mechanical and structural within the body.

The information provided describes a surgical implant, not a diagnostic test performed on samples outside the body.

Summary of Performance Studies

Non-Clinical Testing: Non-clinical laboratory testing was performed to verify the fixation strength of the JuggerKnot™ Mini Soft Anchors in mechanical pullout testing as compared to the predicate devices. The efficacy of the JuggerKnot™ Mini Soft Anchors was compared to that of the Mitek® Mini QUICKANCHOR® Plus and the Mitek® Microfix QUICKANCHOR® Plus. The test results indicate that the Biomet Sports Medicine JuggerKnot™ Mini Soft Anchors provide equivalent fixation strength to the predicate devices and would be functional within their intended use.
Clinical Testing: None provided as a basis for substantial equivalence.

§ 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.
