No
The device description clearly outlines physical components made of polyacetal, stainless steel, and polypropylene, along with braided polyester suture. It also describes a manual surgical instrument (insertion device) and accessories like drills and awls. This is a hardware-based medical device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Description and Intended Use: The description clearly states that this device is a surgical implant (anchor and suture combination) intended for the fixation of sutures to bone for various orthopedic and urinary procedures. It is used in vivo (within the body) during surgery.
- Lack of Specimen Analysis: There is no mention of this device being used to analyze any biological specimens. Its function is purely mechanical, providing an anchor point for sutures within the body.
Therefore, this device falls under the category of a surgical implant or device used in surgical procedures, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

Device Description
The Polymer OBL SB Anchor is a simple modified polyacetal cylinder designed to be pushed through a hole in bone chosen by the surgeon as a site for anchoring soft tissue to bone. Each anchor is preloaded with suture and includes an insertion device.. These components are packaged together sterile in double mylar/tyvek pouches or formed trays. The device is single use. The device can be used for open and arthroscopic procedures.
The anchor is a modified cylinder made of polyacetal. From the end, the anchor is round with two grooves milled 180° apart. From the side, the anchor is a parallelogram with a hole through it. The anchors will be referred to by the diameter and the overall length, for example 2x8 means the diameter is 2.0 mm and the length is 8 mm. Refer to the drawing on page 12 for the dimensions "C" and "A".
The largest anticipated size of the anchor is 3 mm in diameter and 15 mm in length (3x15). The smallest anticipated size of the anchor is 2 mm in diameter and 8 mm in length (2x8). The purpose of the hole through the device is to hold suture. The smooth longitudinal grooves on each side of the device allow the suture to pass into the bone hole without pinching the suture. The ends of the device are designed to initiate rotation of the device as it is pushed and subsequently pulled into place. The ends are tapered at angles that range from 30° to 60°. The anchor is symmetric, allowing it to be inserted with regard to which end enters first. The shape of the device distributes the load over a large bone surface reducing the risk of bone breakage or pullout.
The Insertion Device is a manual surgical instrument comprised of a handle, sleeve, and piston. The handle is constructed from polypropylene and serves the functions of holding all pieces together and to interface between the surgeon's hand and the device. The sleeve houses the piston and the Anchor. The sleeve keeps the Anchor and piston in-line to allow the piston to push the Anchor into the implantation site.
The Suture is Braided Polyester Suture from Surgical Specialties (See Appendix 3 for Approval Letters. N80950). The largest anticipated diameter of the suture USP #2. The smallest anticipated diameter of suture is USP #2-0. The suture is preloaded in the anchor eyelet.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
The anchors were tested for two physical characteristics. Pullout Strength and Suture Break Strength.
Pullout Strength was determined in a cancellous bone model. The smallest version of the proposed devices measures 2 mm by 8 mm and provides 9.6 lbs of pullout strength. The largest version of the proposed devices measures 6 mm by 15 mm and provides 14 lbs of pullout strength. By comparison, the predicate Innovasive product showed 9 lbs of pullout strength in this model.
The knot is considered the weakest part of a suture because of the stress riser it creates. The USP listed knot break strength for #2 synthetic suture is 14 lbs. The smallest version of the proposed devices handles 19.4 lbs of strength before the suture breaks. The largest version of the proposed devices handles 23.2 lbs of strength before the suture breaks. This means that as force is applied to the suture at the knot will fail before the suture at the anchor.

PREDICATE DEVICE(S):
OBL claims that the Polymer OBL SB Anchor / Suture Combination has features substantially equivalent to two 510(k) approved devices. These include:
-
"2.8 and 3.5mm ROC Suture Bone Fastener" by Innovasive Devices (K963402).
-
"SB Bone Anchor" by Orthopaedic Biosystems Ltd., Inc (K950592)
DEVICE DESCRIPTION:
The Polymer OBL SB Anchor is a simple modified polyacetal cylinder designed to be pushed through a hole in bone chosen by the surgeon as a site for anchoring soft tissue to bone. Each anchor is preloaded with suture and includes an insertion device.. These components are packaged together sterile in double mylar/tyvek pouches or formed trays. The device is single use. The device can be used for open and arthroscopic procedures.
The anchor is a modified cylinder made of polyacetal. From the end, the anchor is round with two grooves milled 180° apart. From the side, the anchor is a parallelogram with a hole through it. The anchors will be referred to by the diameter and the overall length, for example 2x8 means the diameter is 2.0 mm and the length is 8 mm. Refer to the drawing on page 12 for the dimensions "C" and "A".
The largest anticipated size of the anchor is 3 mm in diameter and 15 mm in length (3x15). The smallest anticipated size of the anchor is 2 mm in diameter and 8 mm in length (2x8). The purpose of the hole through the device is to hold suture. The smooth longitudinal grooves on each side of the device allow the suture to pass into the bone hole without pinching the suture. The ends of the device are designed to initiate rotation of the device as it is pushed and subsequently pulled into place. The ends are tapered at angles that range from 30° to 60°. The anchor is symmetric, allowing it to be inserted with regard to which end enters first. The shape

of the device distributes the load over a large bone surface reducing the risk of bone breakage or pullout.
The Insertion Device is a manual surgical instrument comprised of a handle, sleeve, and piston. The handle is constructed from polypropylene and serves the functions of holding all pieces together and to interface between the surgeon's hand and the device. The sleeve houses the piston and the Anchor. The sleeve keeps the Anchor and piston in-line to allow the piston to push the Anchor into the implantation site.
The Suture is Braided Polyester Suture from Surgical Specialties (See Appendix 3 for Approval Letters. N80950). The largest anticipated diameter of the suture USP #2. The smallest anticipated diameter of suture is USP #2-0. The suture is preloaded in the anchor eyelet.
Materials
Anchor: Polyacetal Inserter: Piston and Sleeve: Stainless Steel, Handle: Polypropylene Suture: Braided Polyester 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 and awls to prepare these sites.
Once the implantation site is prepared, the surgeon simply aligns the Anchor to the hole, pushes the handle toward the bone, retracts, and disconnects the Suture from the Inserter. The Suture will be retained by the Anchor. Pulling back on the Suture further engages the Anchor into the walls of the hole. The surgeon is then left with an Anchor in the bone and Suture to attach to the soft tissue.
INTENDED USE:
This device. Polymer OBL SB Series and Cinch Series Anchor/Suture Combination is intended for use only for the fixation of non-absorbable synthetic sutures for the following indications.
The Polymer Cinch SB Anchor/Suture Combination is intended only for the fixation of surgical suture material to the pelvis for the purpose of bladder neck suspensions for female urinary incontinence due to urethral hypermobility of intrinsic sphincter deficiency.

COMPARISON OF CHARACTERISTICS:
OBL Polymer OBL SB Anchor / Suture Combination vs. OBL SB Bone Anchor
The design of the OBL Polymer OBL SB Anchor is similar to the SB Bone Anchor. The only difference between the two implants is the material. The SB Bone Anchor is constructed of Titanium Alloy Ti6Al4VELI. The OBL Polymer OBL SB Anchor is constructed from Polyacetal. The indications for use for the two products is identical.
OBL Polymer OBL SB Anchor / Suture Combination vs. Innovasive 2.8 mm and 3.5 mm ROC Suture Bone Fastener
Both devices utilize Polyacetal 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.
PERFORMANCE DATA
The anchors were tested for two physical characteristics. Pullout Strength and Suture Break Strength.
Pullout Strength was determined in a cancellous bone model. The smallest version of the proposed devices measures 2 mm by 8 mm and provides 9.6 lbs of pullout strength. The largest version of the proposed devices measures 6 mm by 15 mm and provides 14 lbs of pullout strength. By comparison, the predicate Innovasive product showed 9 lbs of pullout strength in this model.
The knot is considered the weakest part of a suture because of the stress riser it creates. The USP listed knot break strength for #2 synthetic suture is 14 lbs. The smallest version of the proposed devices handles 19.4 lbs of strength before the suture breaks. The largest version of the proposed devices handles 23.2 lbs of strength before the suture breaks. This means that as force is applied to the suture at the knot will fail before the suture at the anchor.
