The document describes a physical implantable device (biocomposite anchor) and its intended use for tissue fixation. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or any computational processing that would suggest the use of AI or ML.
Yes
The device is used to fix soft tissue to bone for repair procedures in various parts of the body, which directly constitutes a therapeutic intervention.
No
The device is an anchor used for reattaching soft tissue to bone during surgical procedures, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description clearly states the device is a physical anchor manufactured from biodegradable materials and a nonresorbable suture, which are hardware components.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for "fixation of suture (soft tissue) to bone" in various anatomical locations. This is a surgical procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
- Device Description: The description details a physical implantable device made of biodegradable materials and suture.
- 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) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
IVD devices are used outside the body to analyze samples and provide diagnostic information. This device is an implantable surgical device used inside the body for structural support.

§ 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)

Dear Mr. Chung:
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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products.
