Not Found

No
The device description and intended use are purely mechanical, describing a suture anchor for tissue fixation. There is no mention of any computational or analytical capabilities that would involve AI/ML.

No
The device is described as an implant used for secure fixation of soft tissue to bone, which is a restorative or supportive function rather than a therapeutic one (i.e., treating a disease or health problem).

No

Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section clearly states that the device is "intended for the secure fixation of soft tissue to bone." This describes a surgical repair function, not a diagnostic one. A diagnostic device would typically identify, monitor, or assess a condition or disease.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical suture anchor with attached sutures and an insertion device, which are hardware components.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for "secure fixation of soft tissue to bone" in various anatomical locations. This is a surgical procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical implant (suture anchor) and an insertion device. This is a medical device used for treatment or repair within the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) outside of the body to provide information about a patient's health, diagnose conditions, or monitor treatment.

IVD devices are used in vitro (in glass, or outside the body) to analyze samples and provide diagnostic information. This device is used in vivo (in the living body) for surgical repair.

§ 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. Keefe:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and 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. Iisting 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.
