Intended Use
The device is used to anchor suture into bone . The suture is subsequently used by the surgeon to reattach the repositioned/injured soft tissue to bone. The purpose of this 510(k) submission is to expand the indications to include the browlift procedure. The intended use is the same as the predicate device, i.e., suture, when used to approximate soft tissue to bone during a period of rehabilitation.
Device Description
The Mitek Threaded Anchor is a threaded design, 2.0 mm in diameter and 3.6 mm in length. It is manufactured from Titanium 6Al 4V. It is similar in design to the 3.0mm, 4.0mm and the 5.2mm Mitek Threaded Anchor. These designs were cleared to market in K945203.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical properties and clinical outcomes of a physical implant (suture anchor) and do not mention any computational or analytical functions that would typically involve AI/ML.

No
The device is used to anchor suture into bone to reattach soft tissue, which is a structural function rather than a therapeutic one that treats or cures a disease or condition.

No

The device is used to anchor suture into bone to reattach soft tissue. Its purpose is operative, not diagnostic.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a physical threaded anchor made of Titanium 6Al 4V, which is a hardware component.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "anchor suture into bone" and "reattach the repositioned/injured soft tissue to bone." This describes a surgical procedure performed directly on a patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is a "threaded anchor" made of Titanium, designed to be implanted into bone.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) outside of the body to provide information about a person's health. IVDs are used for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening based on analysis of biological samples.

The device described is a surgical implant used in a procedure, not a diagnostic tool used on in vitro samples.

The Mitek Threaded Anchor pull tests from cadaveric locations produced an average failure load of 32.7 Ibs, SD 1.9, N=30.
The clinical tests were done in accordance with IDE #G880026. Safety and effectiveness was based upon the results obtained in the clinical trials and their equivalence to historical data for the identical surgical procedure.

§ 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.

NAME OF DEVICE

CLASSIFICATION NAME: Staple, Fixation, Bone COMMON NAME: Appliance for reconstruction of bone to soft tissue PROPRIETARY NAME: MITEK THREADED ANCHOR

PREDICATE DEVICE: MITEK THREADED ANCHOR

DESCRIPTION OF DEVICE

FUNCTION

Fixation of USP #2/0 suture below bone surface.

DEVICE DESIGN

The Mitek Threaded Anchor is a threaded design, 2.0 mm in diameter and 3.6 mm in length. It is manufactured from Titanium 6Al 4V. It is similar in design to the 3.0mm, 4.0mm and the 5.2mm Mitek Threaded Anchor. These designs were cleared to market in K945203.

MATERIALS USED

The Mitek Threaded Anchor delivery system consists of a Mitek Threaded Anchor Tab, a drill bit ,and an Inserter.

INTENDED USE

The device is used to anchor suture into bone . The suture is subsequently used by the surgeon to reattach the repositioned/injured soft tissue to bone. The purpose of this 510(k) submission is to expand the indications to include the browlift procedure. The intended use is the same as the predicate device, i.e., suture, when used to approximate soft tissue to bone during a period of rehabilitation.

COMPARISON TO PREDICATE DEVICE

It has greater strength than USP #2/0 suture, and is the same design as the Mitek 3.0mm, 4.0mm and 5.2mm Mitek Threaded Anchors.

DESCRIPTION OF NON CLINICAL TESTS

The Mitek Threaded Anchor pull tests from cadaveric locations produced an average failure load of 32.7 Ibs, SD 1.9, N=30.
