Intended Use
The Parachute Corkscrew Suture Anchor is intended for fixation of tissue to bone. This product is intended for the following indications: Shoulder: Rotator Cuff Repair, Bankart Repair, SLAP Lesion Repair, Biceps Tenodesis, Acromio-Clavicular Separation Repair, Deltoid Repair, Capsular Shift or Capsulolabral Reconstruction Foot/Ankle: Lateral Stabilization, Medial Stabilization, Achilles Tendon Repair, Hallux Valgus Reconstruction, Midfoot Reconstruction, Metatarsal Ligament Repair Knee: Medial Collateral Ligament Repair, Lateral Ligament Repair, Patellar Tendon Repair, Posterior Oblique Ligament Repair, Iliotibial Band Tenodesis Hand/Wrist: Scapholunate Ligament Reconstruction, Ulnar Collateral Ligament Reconstruction, Radial Collateral Ligament Reconstruction Elbow: Biceps Tendon Reattachment, Tennis Elbow Repair, Ulnar or Radial Collateral Ligament Reconstruction
Device Description
The Parachute Corkscrew Suture Anchor is a 2 component product consisting of a titanium alloy anchor with a PLA disc attached by a #4 non-absorbable braided polyester suture. Once the tissue is in the desired position, the Parachute Corkscrew is inserted through the tissue and into bone. The insertion is discontinued when the soft tissue/bone apposition has been achieved. The distance between the disk and anchor ensures that the head of the anchor is not protruding from the surface of the bone. The anchor is made of Titanium 6AI-4V alloy (ASTM F136-96), the biocompatibility of which has been well documented. In regards to the material for the disc, Poly (L-lactide), it is currently being used in the Arthrex Bio-Interference Screw, which has received clearance for both bone and soft tissue fixation.

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical properties and materials of a physical suture anchor, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

No.
The device facilitates fixation of tissue to bone, which is a structural or supportive function, rather than a direct therapeutic action like healing or diagnosing a disease.

No

The device is a suture anchor intended for fixation of tissue to bone during surgical repairs, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical implantable medical device made of titanium alloy and PLA, 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 states "fixation of tissue to bone" for various surgical procedures. This is a mechanical function performed in vivo (within the body).
  • Device Description: The description details a physical implantable device made of titanium alloy and PLA, designed for surgical insertion.
  • 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 in vitro (outside the body) to analyze biological samples. This device is a surgical implant used in vivo.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

A substantial equivalence comparison is given in Table A. Although there are slight differences in design and failure strength between the various anchors, the critical value for the FASTak and Bio-Anchor is the tensile strength of the suture. Since the failure strength of the Parachute Corkscrew is greater than the knot tensile strength of size 2 suture (i.e. the maximum recommended size of suture for both the FAStak and the Bio-Anchor), none of the aforementioned differences make it any less safe and effective than the predicate devices. Furthermore, they do not raise any different questions regarding safety and effectiveness from the predicate devices.

Testing performed using a 20 lb. density foam block to simulate poor quality bone.

Key Metrics (Sensitivity, Specificity, PPV, NPV, etc.)

Failure Strength of Parachute Corkscrew: 40.98 lbs.

§ 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.

Substantial Equivalence:

By definition, substantial equivalence means that a device has the same intended use and the same technological characteristics as the predicate device, or has the same intended use and different technological characteristics, but it can be demonstrated that the device is as safe and effective as the predicate device and does not raise different questions regarding safety and effectiveness from the predicate device.

A substantial equivalence comparison is given in Table A. Although there are slight differences in design and failure strength between the various anchors, the critical value for the FASTak and Bio-Anchor is the tensile strength of the suture. Since the failure strength of the Parachute Corkscrew is greater than the knot tensile strength of size 2 suture (i.e. the maximum recommended size of suture for both the FAStak and the Bio-Anchor), none of the aforementioned differences make it any less safe and effective than the predicate devices.
