The summary describes a system for bone and tissue fixation using ultrasonic energy to melt and fix bioresorbable implants. There is no mention of AI or ML in the device description, intended use, performance studies, or any other section. The software mentioned is for the control of the SonicFusion equipment, not for data analysis or decision-making related to diagnosis or treatment planning.
No.
The devices are implants and equipment used for surgical procedures like bone fracture fixation and tissue repair, which are not considered therapeutic devices in and of themselves.
No
The device is intended for fixation and repair of bone fractures, osteotomies, or grafts, and for suture or tissue fixation. It is not used to identify or analyze a disease or condition.
No
The device description explicitly states that the system consists of physical implants (pins and anchors), SonicFusion equipment (hardware), and associated accessories (hardware). While software is mentioned as being verified and validated for the SonicFusion equipment, the device as a whole is a combination of hardware and software, not software-only.
Based on the provided information, no, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use of both the Stryker SonicPin System and the Stryker SonicAnchor System is for the fixation and alignment of bone and tissue within the body during surgical procedures. This is an in vivo application (within a living organism).
- Device Description: The devices are described as implants (pins and anchors) and associated equipment used for their insertion into the body.
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices intended to be used outside the body to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
The Stryker SonicPin and SonicAnchor Systems are surgical implants and associated tools used directly on the patient's body, not for testing samples outside the body.

The pin is made of PLDLLA (Poly(L-lactide-co-D.L-lactide) which has been evaluated for magnetic resonance safety and is implanted using SonicFusion technology which is a process that employs ultrasonic energy to liquefy a polymer and facilitate a fixed interface between the implant and host bone.
The associated accessories include:
- SonicFusion equipment
- Drill
- Handpiece Tip
- TipTool
- Direct Depth Gauge
Stryker SonicAnchor System: This Traditional 510(k) submission is being supplied to the U.S. FDA to provide authorization to market the new Stryker SonicAnchor System.

Mechanical Testing:
Stryker SonicPin System: Mechanical testing was performed to evaluate the implantation process with the modifications made to the SonicFusion equipment. - Tensile Strength Testing. Additionally the magnetic resonance was evaluated as per FDA Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff - Establishing Safety and Compatibility of Passive Implants in the Magnetic Resonance (MR) Environment, 2008.
Stryker SonicAnchor System: Testing was completed to evaluate mechanical performance of the subject device compared against the predicate. - Dynamic Fatigue Strength Testing. Additionally the magnetic resonance safety and ultrasound heat safety were evaluated as per FDA Guidance for Industry and FDA Staff - Establishing Safety and Compatibility of Passive Implants in the Magnetic Resonance (MR) Environment, 2008.
Biocompatibility Testing: The biocompatibility evaluation for the Stryker SonicPin System and Stryker SonicAnchor System was conducted in accordance with the FDA Blue Book Memorandum #G95-1 "Use of International Standard ISO-10993, 'Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices Part 1: Evaluation and Testing,"" May 1, 1995, and International Standard ISO 10993-1 "Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices - Part 1: Evaluation and Testing Within a Risk Management Process," as recognized by FDA.

At a high level, the subject and predicate devices are based on the following same technological elements:
- . Use of a polymer pin implant
- SonicFusion technology used for implant application ●
The following differences exist between the subject and predicate devices:
- Sonic Pin implant material has been evaluated for magnetic resonance safety ●
- New SonicFusion ultrasonic generator, handpiece and footswitch
- Use of interchangeable tips on the SonicFusion handpiece
- Ultrasound delivered has a decreased amplitude
- Added footswitch containing power switch to SonicFusion equipment ●
Stryker SonicAnchor System
The Stryker SonicAnchor System and the predicate device are both intended to be used for suture or tissue fixation to bone.
At a high level, the subject and predicate devices require the following same technological elements:
- Surgical site preparation
