The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical properties and surgical use of a suture anchor and inserter. There is no mention of any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI or ML.
Yes.
This device is used for the fixation of surgical suture material for various repairs and reconstructions of soft tissue to bone, across multiple anatomical sites (Shoulder, Foot and Ankle, Elbow, Wrist, Hand, Knee, and Urinary), which are therapeutic interventions aimed at treating or alleviating medical conditions.
No.
The device is intended for the fixation of non-absorbable synthetic sutures and for securing soft tissue to bone, used in various surgical repairs and reconstructions. It is a surgical implant and instrument, not a device designed to identify or determine the nature of a disease or condition.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components including a suture anchor, anchor inserter, and non-absorbable sutures, all of which are hardware.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for the "fixation of non-absorbable synthetic sutures" in various anatomical locations (Shoulder, Foot and Ankle, Elbow, Wrist, and Hand, Knee, Urinary). This is a surgical procedure performed in vivo (within the body).
- Device Description: The description details a physical implant (anchor) and surgical tools (inserter, suture) used to secure soft tissue to bone. This is consistent with a surgical device, not a diagnostic test performed in vitro (outside the body).
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific analytes, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's condition.
IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device does not fit that description.

Device Description
The proposed device, Polymer Threaded Anchor/Suture Combination, is a pre-packaged, sterile device composed of a suture anchor, anchor inserter, and non-absorbable sutures. The device is used to secure soft tissue to bone. The device is pre-packaged so that the suture is looped through the anchor evelet and the anchor/suture is installed in the inserter. The device is single use. The device can be used for open and arthroscopic procedures. These components are packaged together sterile in double mylar/tvvek pouches or formed trays.
The Polymer Threaded Anchor is a polyacetal screw designed to be screwed into a hole in bone chosen by the surgeon as a site for anchoring soft tissue to bone. The anchor constists of a threaded portion to engage bone, an eyelet to retain suture, and a drive means to couple the device to the inserter. The anchor is referred to by it's major diameter of the largest thread). The sizes included in this submission are 2.8 mm, 4.0 mm, 5.0 mm, and 6.5 mm. Please see the drawing on page 12 for shape and dimensions of the device.
The suture used in the proposed device is a braided polyester suture. The suture is multifilament, braided, non-absorbable poly(ethylene terephthalate) surgical suture meeting USP requirements. Provided by Surgical Specialties, the suture is currently marketed through N80950 (See Appendix 2 for Approval Letters). The largest anticipated diameter of suture is USP #2. The smallest anticipated size of suture is USP #2-0.
The Insertion Device is a manual surgical instrument comprised of a handle and shaft. The handle is constructed from polypropylene and serves as the interface between the surgeon's hand and the device. The shaft serves the functions of transferring the torque from the surgeon's hand to the anchor.
Materials
Anchor: Polyacetal Inserter: Piston and Sleeve: Stainless Steel, Handle: Polypropylene Suture: multifilament, braided, non-absorbable poly(ethylene terephthalate) surgical suture from Surgical Specialties, see Appendix 3.
Use
To implant the Anchor, the surgeon must first create an implantation site in bone. OBL supplies accessory drills, taps and drill/tap combinations to prepare these sites. The inserter is used to screw the anchor into the implantation site. After the anchor is fully seated, the inserter is removed from the implantation site, leaving the anchor in the bone and suture through the anchor. The suture can then be used to attach soft tissue.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Test of Pullout Strength: Anchors were implanted in a cancellous bone model made from polyurethane foam (8 lbs/cft density) and pulled until liberated. All four proposed devices showed higher pullout strength than the predicate ROC device.
Test of Anchor/Suture Interface: Anchor threads were fixed, and suture looped through the eyelet was tensioned until failure. The 2.8mm anchor was considered the worst case due to its smallest head. The Polymer OBL 2.8 mm Anchor provided higher suture break strength than the USP listed Knot Break Strength.

DEVICE DESCRIPTION:
Overview
The proposed device is the "Polymer Threaded Anchor/Suture Combination" (K982963).
The purpose of this submission is to obtain clearance for a polymer version of the "PeBA Anchor/Suture Combination" (K972326) forming a new device called, "Polymer Threaded Anchor/Suture Combination". Changing the material used for the implant requires a 510(k) submission.
The predicate devices used for substantial equivalence comparisons include:

- . "Innovasive 2.8 mm and 3.5 mm ROC Suture Bone Fastener" (K963402)
The Polymer Threaded Anchor/Suture Combination is a modification of the "PeBA Anchor/Suture Combination". The proposed device is the same as the predicate device in terms of design, usage, and function. The modifications include:
- Changing the material of the Anchor (implant) from Titanium alloy to Polyacetal. .
The Polymer Threaded Anchor/Suture Combination uses polyacetal as the material for the anchor. Innovasive uses Polyacetal as a material in the construction of the "ROC Bone Fastener".

COMPARISON OF CHARACTERISTICS:
OBL Polymer Threaded Anchor / Suture Combination vs. Innovasive 2.8mm and 3.5mm ROC Suture Bone Fastener
Both devices utilize Polyacetyl as a material in the construction of the anchor. Both devices utilize suture to join soft tissue to the anchor. Both devices can be EtO sterilized.
OBL Polymer Threaded Anchor / Suture Combination vs. OBL PeBA Anchor / Suture Combination
Both devices follow the same method of implantation. Both anchors utilize a thread to purchase bone and provide a soft tissue fixation site. Both devices utilize braided polyester suture. Both devices utilize an inserter modeled after a screwdriver to turn the anchor into the implantation site. OBL offers drills, taps, and other devices for the preparation of implantation sites for both products.
PERFORMANCE DATA
Test of Pullout Strength
The anchors were implanted in a cancellous bone model made from polyurethane foam with a density of 8 lbs/cft. The anchors were pulled until they were liberated from the foam.
The foam model is considered a worst case situation. The density of foam chosen closely approximates the density of cancellous bone. Using a substrate of uniform density provides more consistent results than using bone which can vary in density and vary in cortex thickness. By testing competitor's anchors in the foam, comparisons of pullout data can be made without respect to the density of the substrate for each datum.
All four of the proposed devices provide higher pullout strength than the predicate ROC device.
Test of Anchor/Suture Interface
The threads of the anchors were fixed and suture was looped through the eyelet. The suture was tensioned until failure occurred. Because the 2.8 anchor has the smallest head of the four anchors included in this submission, it is considered the worst case.
The knot is considered the weakest point in a suture (worst case) because of the stress risers it creates in the suture. The suture most likely to break at the knot or the anchor evelet when loaded. A design criteria for the anchor is to create a lesser stress riser than the knot.
The Polymer OBL 2.8 mm Anchor provides higher suture break strength than USP listed Knot Break Strength for.
