The description focuses on a mechanical implant and surgical instruments, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.
No
The device is an implant for ACL repair, which is a structural or mechanical support, not a device that treats or prevents a disease or condition.
No
The device is described as an implantable anchor for soft tissue and bone repair, specifically for ACL repair or reconstruction. Its purpose is to physically attach soft tissue and bone, not to diagnose a condition.
No
The device is a physical implant made of titanium alloy, intended for surgical use. The description clearly details its material, dimensions, and surgical placement procedure, indicating it is a hardware device.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This information is used for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Description: The Stabilizer Soft Tissue Anchor is a surgical implant used to physically attach soft tissue to bone during ACL repair or reconstruction. It is a physical device inserted into the body, not a tool for analyzing biological samples.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "attachment means for soft tissue and bone in Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) repair or reconstruction." This is a surgical procedure, not a diagnostic test.
The description focuses on the physical properties of the implant, the surgical procedure for its placement, and its function in providing structural support. There is no mention of analyzing biological samples or providing diagnostic information.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Stabilizer Soft Tissue Anchor is a titanium alloy implant intended for use with or without USP Sutures as an attachment means for soft tissue and bone in Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) repair or reconstruction. Stabilizer instruments must be used to install the Stabilizer Soft Tissue Anchor.

Device Description
The Stabilizer Soft Tissue Anchor is a titanium alloy (Ti 6A1-4V ELI Alloy for Surgical Implant Applications per ASTM F136-92) implant intended for use with or without USP Sutures as an attachment means for soft tissue and bone in Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) repair or reconstruction. The Stabilizer is 8 mm in diameter. Stabilizer instruments must be used to install the Stabilizer Soft Tissue Anchor.
Stabilizer placement is accomplished by drilling an appropriately sized hole in uncompromised bone with a specifically designed drill, inserting the soft tissue anchor into the bone, expanding the stabilizer teeth of the implant to secure the anchor into bone using the anchor inserter, and optionally securing the ACL to the implanted anchor by using three sutures. The anchor inserter (which spreads the stabilizer teeth of the implant) also serves as a suture organizer for delivery of sutures to the implant site if required during the implantation procedure.

§ 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)

CONTRAINDICATIONS, WARNINGS, PRECAUTIONS AND COMPLI-CATIONS
-
- Contraindications
The Stabilizer Soft Tissue Anchor is contraindicated in the presence of pathological conditions such as severe osteopenia, cystic degeneration, or comminution of bone which would compromise fixation. The Stabilizer should not be used in compromised bone or in the presence of pathological soft tissue conditions which would compromise fixation. It should also not be used in the presence of pathophysiological conditions such as infection, osteonecrosis, or bone disease. The product should not be used in patients with known allergies to titanium.
- Contraindications
-
- Warnings
- 2.1 The Stabilizer Soft Tissue Anchor is intended to assist in the Each case should be carefully fixation of soft tissue to bone. analyzed to assure that the anchor and suture are appropriate to support the repair/reconstruction. Excessive tension on the suture or anchor may result in suture breakage or implant pullout from the bone. In some cases, revisions may require explant of the bone anchor.
- The drill is stainless steel. To assure proper bone cutting 2.2 characteristics, the drill should be replaced after every 10 uses. If the drill should break during use, remnants should be removed from the surgical site prior to proceeding.
-
- Precautions
The Stabilizer Soft Tissue Anchor is intended for use by surgeons familiar with soft tissue and bone attachment techniques. The patient must be cautioned against early weightbearing and/or premature ambulation as this could lead to loosening or failure of the implant or suture attachments. Standard postoperative practices for the treatment and rehabilitation of repaired joints must be followed.
- Complications র্বা
Potential complications with the The Stabilizer Soft Tissue Anchor include, but are not limited to, the following: infection, osteomyelitis, suture breakage, implant breakage, implant pull-out, reoperation, revision or explant.
