More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a physical implantable device (suture anchor) and its intended use for tissue fixation. There is no mention of software, algorithms, image processing, AI, ML, or data analysis, which are typically associated with AI/ML medical devices.

No.
The device is an anchor used for the fixation of suture to bone in various orthopedic procedures, serving as a fixation device rather than directly treating a disease or condition.

No

The device description clearly states its intended use is for reattaching soft tissue to bone with sutures, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical anchor manufactured from biodegradable materials and implanted using a driver, indicating it is a hardware device.

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 Fixone Biocomposite Anchors are described as implants used to fix soft tissue to bone within the body during surgical procedures. They are physical devices used for structural support and repair, not for analyzing biological samples.

The information provided clearly indicates a surgical implant, not a diagnostic test performed on samples outside the body.

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

Bench test were performed. Bench testing included biocompatibility, mechanical testing including EO residues. The tests demonstrated that the device performs in a substantially equivalent manner to the predicate device. The following bench testing is performed to demonstrate the functionality is substantially equivalent.

Test Item include: External surface, Measurement, Insertion torque, Fixation strength (ASTM F2502 and USP), Tensile strength, Extractable color, Extraction test, pH (The difference should be 1.5 and less), Potassium permanganate reducing substances (The difference of the consumption of potassium permanganate should be 2.0 mL and less), Residue after evaporation (Record the weight of the residue should be 1.0mg and less), Heavy metals (Any brown color produced within 10 minutes in the tube containing the extract of the prepared sample does not exceed that in the tube containing the standard lead solution), UV spectrum(250nm~350nm) (Maximum absorbance between 250 to 350 nm should be 0.1 and less), Property (When observing it with the naked eye, test solution should be clear and have no forign particles). All results passed.

Biocompatibility tests for Anchor include: Cytotoxicity (ISO 10993-5(2009)), Acute systemic toxicity test (ISO 10993-11(2009)), Pyrogen Test (ISO 10993-11 Test for systemic toxicity, pyrogen test), Intracutaneous(intradermal) reactivity test (ISO 10993-10(2013)), Maximization test for delayed hypersensitivity (ISO 10993-10(2013)), Bacterial revers mutation test (ISO 10993-3, Genotoxicity test OECE 471), Mammalian erythrocyte micronucleus test (ISO 10993-3, Genotoxicity test OECE 471), Implantation test (ISO 10993-6, Annex D test methods for implantation in bone), Bioabsorbable screws test (ASTM F2502), Subchronic toxicity test (ISO 10993-11). All results passed.

Biocompatibility tests for Suture include: Cytotoxicity (ISO 10993-5), Systemic toxicity test (ISO 10993-11), Pyrogen Test (ISO 10993-11), Intracutaneous reactivity test (ISO 10993-10), Maximization sensitization (ISO 10993-10), Genotoxicity test (ISO 10993-3), Implantation test (ISO 10993-6), Hemolysis test (ISO 10993-4).

§ 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.
