More Information

No
The description focuses on a mechanical suture anchor and its intended surgical uses, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

Yes.
The device is intended for soft tissue to bone suture fixation for various repairs and reconstructions across multiple anatomical sites (Shoulder, Foot and Ankle, Elbow, Knee, Hand/Wrist), which are all therapeutic interventions.

No

The device is a surgical anchor and suture system used for repairing soft tissue to bone, not for diagnosing conditions. Its intended use is for fixation in various orthopedic procedures.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical anchor and suture system, which are hardware components, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a device for surgical fixation of soft tissue to bone. This is a mechanical function performed in vivo (within the body).
  • Device Description: The description details a physical anchor and sutures used for surgical repair.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue samples) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVD devices are used to perform tests outside the body on biological samples. This device is used inside the body during surgery.

§ 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.
