Intended Use
The CrossFT™ Knotless Biocomposite Suture Anchor with Disposable Driver is intended to reattach soft tissue to bone in the following orthopedic surgical procedures: | Procedure | Joint | |---------------------------------------|----------| | Rotator Cuff Repair | Shoulder | | Achilles Repair | Ankle | | Bicep Tenodesis | Shoulder | | Gluteus Medius Repair | Hip | | Medial Patellofemoral Ligament (MPFL) | Knee | The device may be used in either arthroscopic or open surgical procedures. After the suture is anchored to the bone, it may be used to reattach soft tissue, such as ligaments, tendons, or joint capsules to the bone. The suture anchor system thereby stabilizes the damaged soft tissue, in conjunction with appropriate postoperative immobilization, throughout the healing period.
Device Description
The CrossFT™ Knotless Biocomposite Suture Anchors with Disposable Driver are sterile, single use devices. The CrossFTTM Knotless Biocomposite Suture Anchors with Disposable Driver are manufactured from polylactide copolymer (96L/4D PLA) and ß-Tricalcium Phosphate (8-TCP). The anchors are provided sterile, single use and preloaded on a disposable driver. The anchors are available in three sizes and nine configurations.
More Information

No
The 510(k) summary describes a mechanical suture anchor and driver system made of biocomposite materials. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or any features that would suggest the use of AI or ML. The testing described focuses on mechanical properties, sterilization, and biocompatibility.

Yes
The device is intended to reattach soft tissue to bone, stabilizing damaged soft tissue during the healing period, which is a therapeutic function.

No

Explanation: The device is a suture anchor used in orthopedic surgical procedures to reattach soft tissue to bone. Its function is to provide mechanical stabilization during the healing period, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a physical suture anchor made from polylactide copolymer and ß-Tricalcium Phosphate, preloaded on a disposable driver. This is a hardware device, 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 that the device is for "reattach[ing] soft tissue to bone in the following orthopedic surgical procedures." This is a surgical procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is a "Suture Anchor with Disposable Driver" made of biomaterials. This is a physical implant and delivery system used during surgery.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue samples, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or compatibility testing.

IVD devices are used in vitro (outside the body) to analyze biological samples. This device is used in vivo (inside the body) during surgery.

§ 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.
