The summary describes a mechanical fixation device and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.
No.
A therapeutic device is one that treats or prevents a disease or condition. This device is an implant for mechanical fixation of soft tissue to bone, which is a structural repair rather than a therapeutic treatment.
No
Explanation: The device description and intended use clearly state that it is a fixation device used for repair/reconstruction of soft tissue or bone-tendon within bone, specifically for knee ligaments like ACL/PCL. There is no mention of diagnostic functions.
No
The device description explicitly states it consists of physical components: an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene graft suspension loop and a titanium cortical button.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for "soft tissue to bone or bone-tendon to bone fixation for: ACL/PCL Repair/Reconstruction and soft tissue to bone fixation for Extracapsular Repair: MCL, LCL." This describes a surgical procedure to repair or reconstruct ligaments in the knee.
- Device Description: The device description details a physical implantable device consisting of a loop and a button used to secure tissue within bone.
- Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device being used to test samples (like blood, urine, or tissue) to diagnose a condition, monitor a disease, or screen for a health issue. IVDs are used in vitro (outside the body) to provide information about a patient's health status. This device is used in vivo (inside the body) as a surgical implant.
The information provided describes a surgical implant used for orthopedic repair, not a diagnostic test.

§ 888.3040 Smooth or threaded metallic bone fixation fastener.
(a)
Identification. A smooth or threaded metallic bone fixation fastener is a device intended to be implanted that consists of a stiff wire segment or rod made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum and stainless steel, and that may be smooth on the outside, fully or partially threaded, straight or U-shaped; and may be either blunt pointed, sharp pointed, or have a formed, slotted head on the end. It may be used for fixation of bone fractures, for bone reconstructions, as a guide pin for insertion of other implants, or it may be implanted through the skin so that a pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system.(b)
Classification. Class II.

Dear Ms. Dongeun Lopresti:
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. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's
1
requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97).
