Device Description
The JuggerKnot Soft Anchors consists of a coreless sleeve structure and suture. The anchors are intended for use in soft tissue fixation by bunching against bone when deployed.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical properties and fixation strength of the anchors, with no mention of AI or ML.

No
The device is described as "soft tissue to bone fixation" for various repairs and reconstructions, which are surgical interventions, not therapeutic treatments.

No

The device is described as an implantable anchor for soft tissue to bone fixation, used in repair and reconstruction procedures. It is a therapy device, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly states it consists of a "coreless sleeve structure and suture," which are physical components, not software.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states "soft tissue to bone fixation" for various anatomical sites. This describes a surgical implant used to physically attach tissues, not a device used to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description: The description details a "coreless sleeve structure and suture" intended for "soft tissue fixation by bunching against bone when deployed." This is consistent with a surgical anchor, not an IVD.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information.

The device is a surgical implant used in orthopedic procedures.

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

Non-clinical laboratory testing was performed to verify the fixation strength of the JuggerKnot Soft Anchors in mechanical pullout testing as compared to the predicate JuggerKnot Soft Anchors (K110145) for specific indications for use. The efficacy of the proposed JuggerKnot Soft Anchors was compared to that of the JuggerKnot Soft Anchors. The test results indicate that the JuggerKnot Soft Anchors achieved statistically equivalent or greater pullout strength to the predicate device and would be functional within their intended use.
Clinical Tests: None provided as a basis for substantial equivalence.

§ 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 Adam Cargill:

This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of September 4, 2015.

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. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing
