Device Description
The Arthrex SutureTak Suture Anchors share the same design features, materials, and intended use as the predicates. The anchors are composed of Polyetheretherketone (PEEK), or PLDLA/βTCP and are preloaded on a driver with nonabsorbable suture. The anchors range from 2.0mm – 3.0mm in diameter and 4.9mm – 14.5mm in length.
More Information

No
The device description and intended use are purely mechanical/material-based, and there is no mention of any software, algorithms, or data processing that would suggest the use of AI/ML. The performance studies focus on mechanical properties.

Yes
The device is described as "suture (soft tissue) fixation to bone" for repairing various injuries and conditions, which falls under the definition of a therapeutic device.

No

Explanation: The device is described as suture anchors intended for soft tissue fixation to bone for orthopedic repairs. It is a surgical implant, not a device used to diagnose a medical condition.

No

The device description explicitly states the anchors are composed of physical materials (PEEK, PLDLA/βTCP) and are preloaded on a driver, indicating a physical medical device, not software only.

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, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health. These tests are performed outside of the body.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The Arthrex SutureTak Suture Anchors are described as devices used for "suture (soft tissue) fixation to bone" in various anatomical locations. They are physical implants used within the body during surgical procedures.

The information provided clearly indicates that this device is a surgical implant used for mechanical fixation within the body, not for performing diagnostic tests on samples.

§ 888.3030 Single/multiple component metallic bone fixation appliances and accessories.

(a)
Identification. Single/multiple component metallic bone fixation appliances and accessories are devices intended to be implanted consisting of one or more metallic components and their metallic fasteners. The devices contain a plate, a nail/plate combination, or a blade/plate combination that are made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, stainless steel, and titanium, that are intended to be held in position with fasteners, such as screws and nails, or bolts, nuts, and washers. These devices are used for fixation of fractures of the proximal or distal end of long bones, such as intracapsular, intertrochanteric, intercervical, supracondylar, or condylar fractures of the femur; for fusion of a joint; or for surgical procedures that involve cutting a bone. The devices may be implanted or attached through the skin so that a pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system.(b)
Classification. Class II.

Dear Mr. Rodgers:

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.
