No
The device description and intended use clearly define a mechanical suture anchor for soft tissue fixation to bone. There is no mention of any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.
No
The device is a suture anchor used for fixation of soft tissue to bone, which is a structural component for repair, not a device that directly provides therapy.
Well, let's break this down.
No.
The document describes a medical device, the Arthrex FiberTak Suture Anchor, intended for surgical fixation of soft tissue to bone. Its intended uses are procedures like rotator cuff repair, ligament repairs, and tendon reattachment. There is no mention of the device being used for diagnosis, disease detection, or any form of medical assessment; rather, it is described as a tool for repair and reconstruction.
No
The device description clearly states it is a physical "all-suture" soft-tissue device constructed from polyester and UHWMPE, pre-loaded on a disposable inserter. This indicates it is a hardware medical device, not software-only.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is for "fixation of suture (soft tissue) to bone" in various anatomical locations. This is a surgical procedure, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
- Device Description: The description details a physical implantable device made of polyester and suture material, designed for surgical use. It does not describe a reagent, instrument, or system used to examine specimens.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting diseases or conditions, or providing information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
In summary, the Arthrex FiberTak Suture Anchor is a surgical implant used for mechanical fixation, not a device used for in vitro diagnostic testing.

§ 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)

Dear Kristi Frisch:
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.

| Technological Comparison | The proposed Arthrex Suture Anchor device and predicate device
(K203268) have the same technological characteristics (device design,
sterilization and biocompatibility). The proposed device modification
consists of the addition of the Medial Patellofemoral Ligament
Repair/Reconstruction indication.
The Arthrex FiberTak Suture Anchor is substantially equivalent to the
predicate device in which the design features and intended uses are the
same.
Any differences between the proposed device and the predicate device
are considered minor and do not raise questions concerning safety or
effectiveness. |
| Conclusion | The Arthrex FiberTak Suture Anchor is substantially equivalent to the
predicate devices cleared under K203268 in which the basic design
features and intended use are the same. Any differences between the
Arthrex FiberTak Suture Anchor and the predicate devices are
considered minor and do not raise different questions of safety or
effectiveness. |
| Conclusion | The submitted mechanical testing data demonstrates that the Arthrex
FiberTak Suture Anchor is substantially equivalent to that of the
predicate devices for the desired indication. |
| Conclusion | Based on the indications for use, technological characteristics, and the
summary of data submitted, Arthrex Inc. has determined that the
proposed device is substantially equivalent to the currently marketed
predicate devices. |
