Yes.
The device is described as being used for "soft-tissue to bone fixation" for reattachment and repair of various soft tissues (e.g., tendons, ligaments, capsules, labrums) in different joints. This aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device designed to treat a medical condition or injury.
No
The device is described as a "soft-tissue fixation device" used for "soft-tissue to bone fixation." Its uses involve surgical repair and reconstruction of various soft tissues in different anatomical locations (e.g., rotator cuff repair, ligament reconstruction), which are treatment procedures, not diagnostic ones. The performance studies also focus on mechanical properties and biocompatibility, not diagnostic accuracy.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components like suture anchors, inserters, needles, and packaging, indicating it is a hardware device for surgical fixation.
Based on the provided text, the described devices (Stryker ICONIX XBraid TT with Needles and NanoTack TT Suture Anchor) are not In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) devices.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that these devices are for "soft-tissue to bone fixation" in various anatomical locations. This is a surgical procedure performed in vivo (within the living body).
- Device Description: The description details physical implants (suture anchors, suture tape) and insertion tools. These are designed for direct surgical use on a patient.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The text does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD device, such as:
- Analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
- Providing diagnostic information
- Use in a laboratory setting
- Reagents or assays
IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. The devices described here are surgical implants used to repair or reconstruct tissues within the body.

VI. COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS WITH THE PREDICATE DEVICE
The intent of this bundled premarket submission is to expand the ICONIX with Needles and NanoTack Suture Anchor product lines to include anchor devices that feature flat working sutures. Both product lines will undergo changes identical in nature. Each product line has its own respective predicate device for the purposes of this submission.
For both product lines, the dimensions and colorant of the sutures have been modified, and associated manufacturing processes have been modified relative to the respective predicate devices. All materials used in the construction of the proposed devices have been shown to be biologically safe. All device modifications have been assessed through thorough risk analysis, and where necessary, verification and validation activities were performed. These activities did not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness.
Given this, the proposed ICONIX XBraid TT with Needles devices are substantially equivalent to the respective legally marketed predicate device in regard to intended use, fundamental scientific technology, operational principles, and performance attributes. Similarly, the proposed NanoTack TT Suture Anchor product is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate device in regard to intended use, fundamental scientific technology, operational principles, and performance attributes.
VII. PERFORMANCE DATA
A risk assessment was completed for the proposed device modifications, and non-clinical verification and validation testing was performed to assess the efficacy of the proposed Stryker ICONIX XBraid TT with Needles devices and NanoTack TT Suture Anchor devices as compared to the respective predicate devices.
The following evaluations were considered as part of the risk assessments for both devices:
- . For ICONIX XBraid TT with Needles, this testing included inserter removal effort, needle removal force, extension during cyclic loading, ultimate tensile strength following cyclic loading, ultimate tensile strength, insertion effort, suture sliding force, design validation, packaging validation, sterilization validation, and biocompatibility evaluation.
8
- . For NanoTack TT Suture Anchor, the testing included deployment force, suture sliding force, ultimate tensile strength, insertion effort, a suture snagging test, design validation, packaging validation, sterilization validation, and a biocompatibility evaluation.
Pyrogen testing was also completed for the proposed ICONIX XBraid TT with Needles device and NanoTack TT Suture Anchor device. This testing demonstrated that both of the proposed devices meet the recommended pyrogen limits.
The results of all testing demonstrate that the proposed ICONIX XBraid TT with Needles and NanoTack TT Suture Anchor devices are substantially equivalent to the respective predicate devices. Clinical testing was not required to demonstrate substantial equivalence for this submission.
VIII. CONCLUSIONS
The information presented within this special premarket submission demonstrates that the Stryker ICONIX XBraid TT with Needles and the NanoTack TT Suture Anchor devices are substantially equivalent to the respective predicate devices.
