Device Description
The Acumed Suture Anchor System is a system for anchoring soft tissue (or soft tissue grafts), using #2 high-strength suture, back to the bone for reattachment. It is available in diameters of 3.5mm & 4.5mm in order to accommodate differing anatomic requirements. The anchor is a screw designed to provide fixation to bone that comes with two, #2 high-strength suture (pre-attached) in order to secure soft tissue (or soft tissue grafts) to the anchor. The system includes Class 1 instruments.

The description focuses on a mechanical suture anchor system and does not mention any AI/ML components or functionalities.

No
Explanation: A therapeutic device is used to treat, cure, or alleviate a disease, injury, or other medical condition. The Acumed Suture Anchor System is used for soft tissue fixation to bone, which is a reconstructive and reparative function rather than a therapeutic one in the sense of directly treating a disease. It aids in the repair of injuries but doesn't independently provide a therapeutic effect on a disease or condition itself.

No.
The Acumed Suture Anchor System is intended for suture (soft tissue) fixation to bone for reattachment, not for diagnosis. Its purpose is to repair and reattach tissues, which falls under therapeutic or surgical intervention, not diagnostic analysis.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "system for anchoring soft tissue... using #2 high-strength suture, back to the bone for reattachment" and describes a "screw designed to provide fixation to bone" and "Class 1 instruments," indicating it is a physical medical device, not software only.

Based on the provided information, 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 about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body (in vitro).
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The Acumed Suture Anchor System is a surgical implant used to physically attach soft tissue to bone within the body. It is a mechanical device used for fixation during surgical procedures.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any analysis of biological samples, chemical reactions, or diagnostic testing. Its purpose is purely structural and mechanical.

Therefore, the Acumed Suture Anchor System falls under the category of a surgical implant or medical device used for fixation, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

The Acumed Suture Anchor System and the predicate were subjected to static and dynamic tension along the axis of the screw as well as static and dynamic tension normal to the axis of the screw. The results demonstrate that the subject components are substantially equivalent to the predicate.

§ 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.
