The document describes mechanical suture anchors and their intended use in orthopedic surgery. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or any technology that would suggest the use of AI or ML.
Yes
The device is a medical device (suture anchor) used for soft tissue fixation during orthopedic surgery to repair tendons and ligaments, which are therapeutic procedures.
No
Explanation: The device is a suture anchor intended for soft tissue fixation during orthopedic surgery (repairing tendons and ligaments), which is a treatment, not a diagnostic, function.
No
The device description clearly describes physical suture anchors made of materials like PEEK and Titanium, intended for surgical implantation. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component of the device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the devices are for "soft tissue fixation during general orthopedic surgery" and are used in "arthroscopic or open surgical approaches for fixation of soft tissue and ligaments to bone/healthy tissue during tendon and ligament repairs." This describes a surgical implant used in vivo (within the body) to physically repair tissues.
- Device Description: The descriptions detail physical anchors made of materials like PEEK and Titanium, designed to be screwed or pushed into bone to secure sutures. This is consistent with a surgical implant.
- 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.
In Vitro Diagnostics are used outside the body to analyze biological samples. This device is used inside the body during surgery.

Device Description
The VersaTap™ Suture Anchor is a self-tapping suture anchor mostly used as a medial row anchor in rotator cuff repair surgery. This anchor is ingeniously designed to combine the advantage of both PEEK and Titanium. The titanium tip allows for self-tapping ability whilst the majority of the anchor is manufactured from PEEK which minimizes post-operative imaging effects.
The VersaLat™ Suture Anchor is an innovative knotless-/suture anchor inspired by a top orthopedic shoulder surgeon. This PEEK screw-in anchor can be combined with the VersaTap™ Suture Anchor in double rotator cuff repair surgery. Flexibility is what differs this anchor from its competitors with surgeons being able to fixate any number of sutures/tapes (K150438) by adjusting the size of the characteristic front loop. The extra suture provided by this anchor can also be used for the fixation of the biceps tendon or any ligament fragments
The DueLock™ Suture Anchor is a flexible anchor that combines the functional push-in anchors into one multi-purpose suture anchor can be used as a knotless suture anchor as well as a push-in, preloaded suture anchor used in both small and large-joint repairs.
The VersaTi™ Suture Anchor is a self-tapping suture anchor mostly used as a medial row anchor in rotator cuff repair surgery. The anchor is designed for ultimate mechanical properties (pull-out strength, etc.) and ease of use. VersaTi™ Suture Anchor is recommended for use in small and large-joint repairs without the need for tapping or drilling.
The MiniT™ Suture Anchor is a small screw-in suture anchor used in a variety of small-joint applications. Despite its small diameter, the specially engineered thread combines with cortical bone to provide tremendous pull-out strength.

Biocompatibility:
The reference devices selected for biocompatibility evaluation (510(k) numbers) are manufactured by Elite Surgical Supplies, at the same manufacturing facility producing the subject devices, using the same manufacturing processes, chemicals, materials, and cleaning processes as the subject devices. An OEM manufacturing contract is in place between Elite Surgical Supplies and Ortho-Design, stating that all manufacturing done for Ortho-Design, by Elite Surgical Supplies, is done according to the processes defined by ISO 9001. All materials, processes, and cleaning agents used for the subject device have previously been cleared by the FDA for the reference device.
Sterility:
After reviewing the results of the IQ, OQ and PQ results, it can be concluded that the Overkill Method was successfully conducted in order to achieve a SAL of 10-6 based on the parameters and tolerances identified during the validation study.
Shelf-Life:
The VersaTap™ Suture Anchor has a shelf-life of 3 years, which has been validated with accelerated aging techniques listed above in 016 Sterilization and Shelf-Life Table 2. Real-time aging is being conducted and the design history file will be updated with this information when completed. The implant components are manufactured from PEEK OPTIMA conforming to ASTM F2026 and Titanium Alloy conforming to ASTM F136. All materials have been historically used in implant devices and have demonstrated not to be mechanically affected by aging within the 3 year shelf life , so no additional aging testing is required for the implants.
Packaging:
The VersaTap™ Suture Anchor will be boxed individually in EtO sterilized double peel pouches to allow for easy transfer into the sterile operative field. Both the inner and outer pouch is a 60g/m² medical plastic film and paper peel pouch. Each package includes external package labeling, an instruction leaflet, and individual patient labels. Instruments are provided non-sterilization trays separately from the implants.
Endotoxin/pyrogenicity:
The device has been tested to be non-pyrogenic.
Conclusion:
From the non-clinical testing results and summaries, it is clear that the VersaTap™ Suture Anchor demonstrates substantial equivalence and adheres to minimum requirements set out in the guidance document for Bone Anchors – Premarket Notification (510(k)) Submissions laid out by the FDA. This was demonstrated by non-clinical testing consisting of mechanical, biocompatibility, sterility, shelf-life, packaging and pyrogenicity tests.
