More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical properties and biocompatibility of a suture anchor, with no mention of AI/ML technology or related concepts like image processing, training/test sets, or performance metrics typically associated with AI/ML. The "A.I.M." in the name appears to be a product name, not an indicator of AI technology.

No.
The device is a suture anchor used for fixation of soft tissue to bone, which is a surgical tool rather than a therapeutic device that directly treats a condition or disease.

No

Explanation: A diagnostic device is used to detect, diagnose, or monitor a medical condition. This device is a suture anchor intended for fixation of soft tissue to bone during surgical procedures, which is a therapeutic function, not diagnostic.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical implant system including a PEEK anchor, inserter, and suture, 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 "fixation of soft tissue to bone" in surgical procedures. This is a therapeutic or reconstructive purpose, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical implant (suture anchor) and its components used in surgery. This is consistent with a surgical device, not a diagnostic test performed on biological samples.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific markers, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's condition.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device does not fit that description.

§ 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 Mr. Schrayer:

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, 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.
