The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical properties and biocompatibility, with no mention of AI/ML or data-driven analysis.
Yes
The device is intended to reattach soft tissue to bone and stabilizes damaged soft tissue in conjunction with postoperative immobilization, which directly relates to restoring function and promoting healing.
No
This device is a surgical implant (suture anchor) used to reattach soft tissue to bone, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components made of materials like braided polyester, stainless steel, and polypropylene, indicating it 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 is to "reattach soft tissue to bone in orthopedic surgical procedures." This is a surgical intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
- Device Description: The device is a "soft-tissue fixation device with an expandable push-in design," consisting of a suture anchor, inserter, drill bit, and drill guide. These are all tools and implants used directly in a surgical procedure.
- Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting markers, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's condition.
- Anatomical Site: The anatomical sites are "Bone, soft tissue (ligaments, tendons, joint capsules)," which are the sites of surgical repair.
- Intended User/Care Setting: The intended user is involved in "Orthopedic surgical procedures," which are therapeutic interventions.
In vitro diagnostics are devices used to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device is a surgical implant used for repair, not for diagnostic purposes.

Intended Use/Indications for Use
21 CFR 807.92(a)(5)
The non-absorbable suture anchors are intended to reattach soft tissue to bone in orthopedic surgical procedures. The OTS 25 may be used in either arthroscopic or open surgical procedures are anchored to the bone, both may be used to reattach soft tissue, such as ligant capsules to the bone. In conjunction with appropriate postoperative immobilization throughout the healing period, the suture anchor system stabilizes the damaged soft tissue.
Indications for Use Comparison
21 CFR 807.92(a)(5)
The OTS 25 has the exact same intended use of its predicate device the ConMed's Y-Knot® RC All-Suture Anchor with two or three #2 Hi-Fir Sutures (K133224). Namely, both devices are intended to reattach soft tissue to bone in orthopedic surgical procedures. The indications for use of the two devices are identical aside from differences in device name.
Both all-suture anchors may be used in either arthroscopic or open surgical procedures. After the suture strands are anchored to the bone, both may be used to reattach soft tissue, such as ligaments, tendons, or joint capsules, to the bone. In conjunction with appropriate postoperative immobilization throughout the healing period, both suture anchor systems stabilize the damaged soft tissue. In other words, the OTS 25 has the same exact indication for use as its predicate device. Thus, the OTS 25 satisfies the first criterion for a finding of substantial equivalence.
Technological Comparison
21 CFR 807.92(a)(6)
The OTS 25 and predicate device have bone anchoring and soft tissue attachments. Both devices are made from a flat suture/ flat sleeve structure that bunches during deployment, providing the same bone fixation method between the anchors. Specifically, the subject device and its predicate use a suture-only anchor where fixation to the bone is achieved by changes to the shape of the suture within the soft cancellous bone when the sutures are tightened, preventing it from being pulled through the in the hard bone.
The OTS 25 and the predicates' anchors also share soft tissue attachment method, i.e., suture attachment. Both use #2 sized UHMWPE sutures, with two sutures being supplied with OTS device while two or three sutures are provided with the predicate. As use of two sutures is a subset of the predicate, it does not raise any questions.
Both suture anchors are inserted through a predilled hole and the same insertion mechanism as its predicate i knot RC by Conmed (K133224). The fork-shaped inserter, drill bit guide used to insert the device are similar to the predicate's instruments as well, resulting in an equivalent, 8-step insertion method as its predicate.
The main difference between the OTS 25 and its predicate is the anchor. While the Y-knot is made of flat braid of Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE), the OTS 25 anchor is made of a flat sleeve Braided polyester (PET). PET has been in use in other all-suture anchors, such as the JuggerKnot (K110145, reference device), and is a biocompatible, well-established material.
Non-Clinical and/or Clinical Tests Summary & Conclusions 21 CFR 807.92(b)
The following performance testing has been completed for the POTS 25 Device:
· Pullout Testing (Static and Dynamic )
- · SterilizationValidation, Pyrogenicity Testing, and Endotoxin Monitoring
- · Packaging Testing, Shelf-life Testing
- Biocompatibility Testing
The series of tests, listed above, has been conducted and successfully completed. The results demonstrate that the OTS 25 provides adequate mechanical properties for its use.
Following nonclinical tests, it was concluded that OTS 25 is as safe, as effective, and performs at least as well as the legally marketed predicate device.
