Yes
The device is intended for fixation of soft tissue to bone in various repair and reconstruction procedures, which directly addresses medical conditions and aims to restore function, meeting the definition of a therapeutic device.
No
Explanation: The device, the WasherCap™ Mini Fixation System, is described as an implantable device intended for fixation of suture/tape to bone in various anatomical locations. Its function involves surgical implantation and mechanical fixation. It does not perform any diagnostic function such as detecting, monitoring, or analyzing patient conditions or data.
No
The device description explicitly lists multiple hardware components including an implantable device, handled inserter, handled screwdriver, drill guide, drill bit, and suture threader.
Based on the provided information, the WasherCap™ Mini Fixation System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- The WasherCap™ Mini Fixation System is an implantable device used for the physical fixation of soft tissue to bone during surgical procedures. It is a surgical tool and implant, not a diagnostic test performed on bodily fluids or tissues.
The description clearly outlines its use in surgical procedures on the shoulder, knee, and hand/wrist for fixing sutures/tapes to bone. This is a therapeutic and structural function, not a diagnostic one.

VIII. Comparison of Technological Characteristics
The proposed WasherCap™ Mini Fixation System is similar to its primary predicate (K203495) in that both fixate sutures/tapes to bone via a threaded component which holds the suture/tape in place. The main difference in technological characteristics is that the proposed WasherCap™ Mini Fixation System is composed of PEEK and titanium alloy, while the primary predicate (K203495) is only composed of PEEK, which leads to a different type of surface interfacing with the bone. Additionally, the threaded titanium component of the subject device is mainly screwed onto the PEEK component which is implanted into the bone and partially screwed into the bone, while the SwiveLock predicate device's threaded PEEK œmponent is entirely screwed into the bone. While both subject and predicate devices are preloaded onto their respective insertion tools, the predicate device is also pre-loaded with sutures that may or may not be used for fixation, while the subject device is not preloaded with sutures.
