The device description and intended use focus on the mechanical properties and surgical application of a suture-based anchor, with no mention of AI or ML technology.
Yes
The device is described as a suture-based anchor for the attachment of soft tissue to bone, with specific indications for various orthopedic repairs (e.g., rotator cuff repair, ligament repair). This directly relates to the treatment of a disease or injury, classifying it as a therapeutic device.
No
The device is a suture-based anchor designed for surgical attachment of soft tissue to bone, not for diagnosis.
No
The device description clearly details physical components such as suture anchors made of UHMWPE and PEEK, sutures, suture tape, and surgical instrumentation made of stainless steel. It is a physical medical device, not software-only.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
- Device Description: The Auxilock Draw Tight Suture-Based Anchor is a surgical implant designed to attach soft tissue to bone. It is made of materials like UHMWPE and PEEK and is used in various orthopedic procedures.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states its purpose is for "attachment of soft tissue to bone" in specific anatomical locations. This is a surgical procedure, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample outside the body.
The description focuses on the physical characteristics of the anchor, its materials, how it is deployed, and the surgical instruments used for its placement. There is no mention of analyzing biological samples or providing diagnostic information.

Device Description
AUXILOCK® Draw tight anchor is made with UHMWPE suture anchor body and PEEK OPTIMA eyelet tip. The Auxilock Draw Tight Anchors are designed for use in attachment of soft tissue to bone. The construct of the Draw Tight Anchors is such that when inserted into the bone and deployed via the included suture, a suture ball is created in the prepared socket that provides the necessary fixation. The Draw Tight Anchors are designed to accommodate both sliding and fixed sutures to be used for soft tissue fixation. The anchor is designed to deliver efficiency and promote ease of use. The anchor can be used for rotator cuff repair surgeries. The AUXILOCK® Draw tight suture based anchor provides a small footprint and also asserts subcortical fixation for anchor insertion. The Draw tight anchor is available in 1.8mm and 3.2mm diameter with various combination of BioBraid and suture tapes. The drill guide and anchor driver combination is well-designed to improve the performance and reliability. The Auxilock Draw Tight Suture-Based Anchor consists of the following types of implants:
- AUXILOCK® 1.8mm Draw Tight Suture-Based Anchor with One #2 BioBraid: White/Blue .
- AUXILOCK® 1.8mm Draw Tight Suture-Based Anchor with One 1.6mm Suture Tape: ● White/Blue
- AUXILOCK® 3.2mm Draw Tight Suture-Based Anchor with Two #2 BioBraid: White/Blue & ● White/Black
- AUXILOCK® 3.2mm Draw Tight Suture-Based Anchor with One #2 BioBraid And One 1.6mm Suture tape: White/Black & White/Blue
The Auxilock Suture is a dyed or non-dyed braided suture construct made of UHMWPE. The proposed suture is braided flat with round ends, and is available in precut lengths in straight and loop configurations, and with or without needles. Suture ends are stiffened with cyanoacrylate. The Suture constructs meet USP standards for suture. The Suture is available in straight and loop configurations; and sizes #2 for suture, and 1.6mm (width) for tape.
AUXILOCK® BioBraid Suture
AUXILOCK® BioBraid Sutures are braided sterile sutures prepared from Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE). Sutures are non-absorbable and do not impose any significant changes in tensile strength retention known to occur in vivo. BioBraid sutures are available in a variety of colour combinations for easy suture management in complicated repairs.
Suture color additives
The UHMWPE sutures when made up of tracers can be with blue polypropylene (pigment ß-Cuphthalocyanine blue) or polyamide black (pigment hematein).
The color additive FD&C Blue 2, color additive Black logwood and color additive phtalocyanine are according to FDA and it is approved for use in medical applications (§74.3102 - FDA), (§73.1410 –FDA) and (§74.3045 – FDA) respectively.
AUXILOCK® BioBraid Suture Tape
AUXILOCK® BioBraid Suture Tape made from UHMPWE has a width of 1.6mm. The suture tape design accommodates the tape in the centre with a suture on the either sides of the tape.
These implants are sold in sterile conditions (EO Sterilization). The system is indicated for use in adult patients only. All implants are for single use only.
Surgical instrumentation is included in Auxilock Draw Tight Suture-Based Anchor to allow the placement and attachment of the Anchors with bone. Various drill, anchor driver, Awl, Threading device, Tray, Containers and other components are included with the Auxilock Draw Tight Suture-Based Anchor. These Instruments are made from Stainless steel (SS 304) Material.

Summary of Bacterial Endotoxin Test:
Bacterial Endotoxin test was performed on Auxilock Draw Tight Suture-Based Anchor by using Limulus Amoebocyte Lysate (LAL) test. The Endotoxin testing limit was less or equal to 20EU/Device. The test was performed according to standard USP32 chapter 85.

Image /page/10/Picture/0 description: The image shows the logo for Auxein. The logo consists of a blue circle with a white "A" inside of it, followed by the word "Auxein" in blue, sans-serif font. There is a small, filled-in blue circle above the "i" in "Auxein", and a small "R" in a circle to the right of the word.
Summary of Shelf-Life Study:
The shelf life study (accelerated Stability Study) was conducted on an Auxilock Draw Tight Suture-Based Anchor. As per the expiry assumption of 5 years, we have performed this study at 60°C and calculated that the accelerated stability study will be continued for 8 months. The bioburden test, sterilization, sterility test, visual inspection, dimensional check, Material integrity and package integrity test were performed on the subject device before starting the study and after the completion of the study. After completion of the study, the accelerated stability study was found to be satisfactory. Hence, we have concluded that the expiry of 5 years, which we have assumed complies. ASTM F1980:2016 was used as reference standard for performing this test.
Conclusion:
There are no significant differences between the subject device and the predicate devices that would adversely affect the use of the product. It is substantially equivalent to these devices in design, function, materials, and operational principles as internal fixation components. From the data available we can justify that the Auxilock Draw Tight Suture-Based Anchor is as safe, and as effective and performs the same indications for use as that of already marketed predicate devices identified in A.3. of 510(k) summary.
