The document describes a physical medical device (suture anchors) and its intended use and materials. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI or ML.
No.
The device is used for fixation of soft tissue to bone, which is a supportive mechanical function rather than a therapeutic biological or biomechanical intervention to cure or alleviate a disease or condition.
No
This device is a surgical anchor intended for fixation of soft tissue to bone, not for diagnosis of medical conditions.
No
The device description clearly states it is a physical anchor made from biodegradable materials with a nonabsorbable suture, implanted using a provided driver. This is a hardware device.
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 (anchor) made of biodegradable materials with a suture, designed to be inserted into bone.
- 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 in vitro (outside the body) to analyze biological samples. This device is used in vivo (inside the body) as a surgical implant.

Device Description
The Fixone Biocomposite Anchor is intended for reattaching soft tissue to bone with sutures. The anchor is manufactured from biodegradable materials (PLGA copolymer and β-TCP). A nonabsorbable UHMWPE suture is inserted into the anchor. The anchor is implanted using a provided driver.
B,N,BN type(Knotted suture anchors) are 'screw-in' anchors used alone or in combination with Kc,KcN type(Knotless suture anchors) for soft-tissue repair.
Kc,KcN type(Knotless suture anchor) are used for a soft-tissue repair in combination with the B,N,BN type.
SL type 'push-in' anchors that are ideal for soft-tissue repair in narrow or deep areas.
S type are 'push-in' anchors that are ideal for soft-tissue repair in the foot, ankle, hand and wrist
The Fixone Biocomposite Anchor consists of cannulated anchors with an eyelet. They are pre-loaded on an insertion device. The Fixone Biocomposite Anchor is intended to provide secure reattachment of the soft tissue to bone.
Devices are provided sterile. Single use only.

§ 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)
Classification. Class II.

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. 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.

K192032, Fixone Biocomposite Small Anchor could be used in smaller surgery spot like hand, wrist and hip. Differences of intended use was just come from device size.
The differences between predicate and subject device which could effect the performance of device is thread and suture.
Thread – Added new performance test data of dual-threaded anchors. KcN type is from the Kc type. KcN type anchor has same design with Kc type anchor except only the thread. BN type anchor. The eyelet part of BN type is different with the eyelet of N type anchor. BN type has same design with N type anchor except only the eyelet design.
Suture – Added new performance test data of only UHMWPE suture. (Previously cleared in K203523)
These differences could be explained with new test report and also could be explained by predicate devices because all of these predicate devices were made with same manufacturing process of subject device.
7. Performance data:
Bench test were performed. Bench testing included biocompatibility, mechanical testing including EO residues, shelf-life testing, pyrogenicity testing and endotoxin monitoring. The tests demonstrated that the device performs in a substantially equivalent manner to the prior related devices.
8. Conclusion
The device is investigated for function to compare the operation of function between Fixone Biocomposite Anchor and prior related devices.
7
Comparison results demonstrate that the specifications and performance of the device are substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate device.
Therefore, it is concluded that Fixone Biocomposite Anchor is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate device.
