Intended Use
The Multitak Suture System is intended for soft tissue to bone suture fixation for the following indications: Knee Shoulder Extra-capsular repairs: Bankart lesion repairs Medial collateral ligament S.L.A.P. lesion repairs Lateral collateral ligament Acromio-clavicular repairs Posterior oblique ligament Capsular shift/capsulolabral reconstruction Iliotibial band tenodesis Deltoid repair Rotator cuff tear repairs Biceps tenodesis Foot and Ankle Medial/lateral repairs, reconstructions Achilles tendon repairs (Gamekeeper's Thumb) Midfoot and forefoot repairs Hallux valgus reconstruction Elbow Ulnar or radial collateral ligament reconstructions Tennis elbow repair Biceps tendon reattachment Patellar tendon repair VMO advancement Joint capsule closure Hand/Wrist Collateral ligament repair Scapholunate ligament reconstruction Tendon transfers in phalanx Volar plate reconstruction
Device Description
The anchor is tubular in shape and is preassembled threaded with USP size 2-0 through 2 braided polyester suture. An Introduction Device holds the anchor and delivers it into the bone through a predrilled hole. The sutures can then be used to secure the soft tissue to the bone.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on a mechanical suture system and its performance in pullout and insertion testing, with no mention of AI or ML.

No.

This device is a suture system intended for soft tissue to bone suture fixation, which is a surgical tool for structural repair rather than a device that provides a therapeutic effect through physiological or pharmacological means.

No

The device is described as a "Suture System" intended for "soft tissue to bone suture fixation" and involves an "anchor" and "suture" to "secure the soft tissue to the bone." This functionality indicates it is a surgical tool for repair and fixation, not a device used to diagnose a medical condition.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical anchor and an introduction device, which are hardware components. The performance studies also focus on the mechanical properties of the device (pullout and insertion testing).

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. These tests are performed outside of the body.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The description of the Multitak Suture System clearly indicates it is a surgical implant used to fix soft tissue to bone within the body. It is a physical device used in surgical procedures, not a test performed on a sample.

The information provided about the device's function, intended use, and performance studies all point to it being a surgical device, not an IVD.

§ 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.
