Intended Use
The DePuy OrthoTech Catera Suture Anchor is intended for use in the shoulder for soft tissue re-attachment and capsular repair, including rotator cuff repairs, Bankart lesion repairs and SLAP lesion repairs.
Device Description
The Catera Suture Anchor is a titanium 6Al-4V alloy, self-threading, cancellous screw available in diameters of 3.5mm and 4.5mm with a 0.030 inch diameter cylindrical eyelet at the end. The eyelet has two semicircular slots milled in the side of the head for suture clearance. A 34 inch U.S.P. #2 nonabsorbable polyester suture is supplied pre-threaded through the eyelet with a single loop at the end of the screw. The suture anchors that are supplied with needles attached to the suture will have a Sulzle needle #394475 swedged onto one or both ends of the suture. The suture anchor's tip threads are on an incline to the full diameter (body threads). The body threads which provide the main resistance to pullout are on a slight incline. The suture anchors are supplied either pre-loaded on a driver or separately.
More Information

None

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

No
The device is described as a "Suture Anchor" used for "soft tissue re-attachment and capsular repair," indicating it is a surgical implant for repairing damaged tissue rather than a device for treating or preventing a disease or condition.

No
The device is a suture anchor used for re-attaching soft tissue and repairing capsules in the shoulder, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical implantable device made of titanium alloy with sutures and needles, which is hardware, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "soft tissue re-attachment and capsular repair" in the shoulder. This is a surgical procedure performed directly on a patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is a "suture anchor," which is a physical implant used to secure tissue to bone.
  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health.

This device is a surgical implant, not a diagnostic test.

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

Mechanical testing in porcine and human cadaver bone showed that the pull-out loads for the Catera Suture Anchor were comparable to the pull-out loads for the Statak anchors. Mechanical testing in porcine bone showed that the maximum torque to failure results for the Catera Suture Anchor were better than those for the Statak anchors. Mechanical testing in porcine bone showed that the Catera Suture Anchor pull-out force results exceeded those for the Stryker and Mitek suture anchors.

§ 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.

INTENDED USE AND DEVICE DESCRIPTION:

The DePuy OrthoTech Catera Suture Anchor is intended for use in the shoulder for soft tissue re-attachment and capsular repair, including rotator cuff repairs, Bankart lesion repairs and SLAP lesion repairs.

The Catera Suture Anchor is a titanium 6Al-4V alloy, self-threading, cancellous screw available in diameters of 3.5mm and 4.5mm with a 0.030 inch diameter cylindrical eyelet at the end. The eyelet has two semicircular slots milled in the side of the head for suture clearance. A 34 inch U.S.P. #2 nonabsorbable polyester suture is supplied pre-threaded through the eyelet with a single loop at the end of the screw. The suture anchors that are supplied with needles attached to the suture will have a Sulzle needle #394475 swedged onto one or both ends of the suture. The suture anchor's tip threads are on an incline to the full diameter (body threads). The body threads which provide the main resistance to pullout are on a slight incline. The suture anchors are supplied either pre-loaded on a driver or separately.

BASIS OF SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE:

The DePuy OrthoTech Catera Suture Anchor is substantially equivalent to the Zimmer Statak in that both of these devices are threaded suture anchors manufactured from Ti-6Al-4V alloy which are intended for soft tissue re-attachment in the shoulder. Mechanical testing in porcine and human cadaver bone showed that the pull-out loads for the Catera Suture Anchor were comparable to the pull-out loads for the Statak anchors. Mechanical testing in porcine bone showed that the maximum torque to failure results for the Catera Suture Anchor were better than those for the Statak anchors. Mechanical testing in porcine bone showed that the Catera Suture Anchor pull-out force results exceeded those for the Stryker and Mitek suture anchors.
