No
The device description and intended use are purely mechanical, describing a suture anchor for soft tissue attachment to bone. There is no mention of any computational or analytical capabilities that would suggest AI/ML.

No
The device, a suture anchor, is used to attach soft tissue to bone, which is a supportive and restorative function rather than a direct therapeutic treatment of a disease or condition.

No
Explanation: The device is a suture anchor used for attaching soft tissue to bone, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of a "suture anchor, with polyester suture attached," which are physical hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "attachment of soft tissue to bone in shoulder, wrist and hand procedures." This describes a surgical procedure performed directly on a patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is a "suture anchor... placed into a predrilled bone hole for anchorage of soft tissue." This is a physical implant used during surgery.
  • 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 patient's health status.

IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the body to diagnose, monitor, or screen for diseases or conditions. This device is a surgical implant used for mechanical fixation.

§ 888.3030 Single/multiple component metallic bone fixation appliances and accessories.

(a)
Identification. Single/multiple component metallic bone fixation appliances and accessories are devices intended to be implanted consisting of one or more metallic components and their metallic fasteners. The devices contain a plate, a nail/plate combination, or a blade/plate combination that are made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, stainless steel, and titanium, that are intended to be held in position with fasteners, such as screws and nails, or bolts, nuts, and washers. These devices are used for fixation of fractures of the proximal or distal end of long bones, such as intracapsular, intertrochanteric, intercervical, supracondylar, or condylar fractures of the femur; for fusion of a joint; or for surgical procedures that involve cutting a bone. The devices may be implanted or attached through the skin so that a pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system.(b)
Classification. Class II.
