More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and intended use clearly define the device as suture anchors for soft tissue to bone fixation, with no mention of any computational or analytical capabilities that would involve AI or ML. The performance studies focus on mechanical properties.

Yes
The device is used for fixation of soft tissue to bone in various repair and reconstruction procedures across multiple joints, which directly addresses medical conditions and aims to improve patient health outcomes.

No
The device, Arthrex Corkscrew and SwiveLock Suture Anchors, is described as being used for "fixation of suture (soft tissue) to bone" in surgical procedures, indicating a therapeutic or reconstructive function rather than a diagnostic one. The descriptions of "Intended Use / Indications for Use" and "Device Description" strictly outline its use as an implantable medical device for repair, not for identifying or assessing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states that the devices are "cannulated anchors manufactured from polyetheretherketone (PEEK) or Titanium" and are "pre-loaded on a handled inserter." These are physical hardware components, not software.

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, or 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 description and intended use clearly state that these are suture anchors used for fixing soft tissue to bone within the body during surgical procedures. They are implants used for mechanical support and repair.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, performing tests on specimens, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory analysis.

Therefore, the Arthrex Corkscrew and SwiveLock suture anchors are surgical implants, not In Vitro Diagnostic devices.

§ 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. Rogers,

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.
