The non-absorbable suture anchors are intended to reattach soft tissue to bone in orthopedic surgical procedures.
The OTS 25-L 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, the suture anchor system stabilizes the damaged soft tissue.
OTS 25-L is an all-suture anchor. It is a soft-tissue fixation device with an expandable push-in design, provided preloaded on a disposable inserter. The device is constructed of a flat suture sleeve that is interlaced longitudinally along its central width by two #2 suture strands. The flat suture sleeve and the double loaded suture strands are folded back on themselves at the distal end of the disposable inserter. The device consists of the following components and accessories: non-absorbable, single use, suture anchor is made of a braided polyester sleeve; inserter; drill bit; and drill guide are made of stainless steel; and drill guide obturator is made of polypropylene.
The disposable inserter has a stainless-steel shaft supporting a forked shaped tip, with a handle, and is provided sterile, for single use.
The provided document is an FDA 510(k) clearance letter for a medical device called "OTS 25-L (100-5)". This letter does not contain any information about the acceptance criteria or reported performance for a software or AI/ML device.
Instead, the document describes a physical medical device (a smooth or threaded metallic bone fixation fastener, specifically an all-suture anchor) and its non-clinical testing for substantial equivalence to a predicate device. The change in this submission (K251310) is a labeling change to allow the device to be packed with autologous bone marrow.
Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information for an AI/ML device based on this input. The output would be:
Based on the provided FDA 510(k) clearance letter for the OTS 25-L (100-5) medical device, there is no information regarding acceptance criteria or a study that proves a software or AI/ML device meets acceptance criteria. The document describes a physical medical device (an all-suture anchor) and its non-clinical testing to support a labeling change.

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-L 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, the suture anchor system stabilizes the damaged soft tissue.
Indications for Use Comparison
21 CFR 807.92(a)(5)
The subject OTS 25-L has the same intended use and indications, technological characteristics, and principles of operation as the previously cleared predicates OTS Medical's OTS 25-L. The only change to the device is a labeling change to allow use of the device when packed with autologous bone marrow.
Technological Comparison
21 CFR 807.92(a)(6)
The subject OTS 25-L and predicate cleared OTS 25-L device (K241234) are identical in all technological characteristics. The only difference between the subject OTS 25-L and the cleared OTS 25-L (K241234) predicate is a change to the labeling which allows the extension component of the anchor above the bone surface to be optionally filled with autologous bone marrow to allow the porous, braided polyester to act an interface for augmentation of the soft tissue.
Non-Clinical and/or Clinical Tests Summary & Conclusions
21 CFR 807.92(b)
GLP animal testing was performed on 8 animals at 6 weeks (3 control, 5 investigational) and 12 animals at 16 weeks (4 control, 8 investigational). The control device consisted of the cleared OTS 25 anchor (K233429) and the investigational device was the subject OTS 25-L anchor packed with autologous bone marrow/bone fragments. Animals underwent a Bankart surgical procedure involving unilateral exposure of the glenohumeral joint, a bone lesion creation, and OTS test articles implantation. In vivo assessments performed included blood collection, body weight, lameness, CT imaging (16 weeks only). Ex-vivo assessments included macroscopic analysis, microCT analysis, histopathology (organs and shoulder samples), and biomechanical testing (6 weeks only).
No clinical testing was performed to establish equivalence.
The results of the test demonstrated the investigational device was at least equivalent to the cleared predicate in terms of tissue healing and strength of attachment.
§ 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.
