No
The summary describes a physical implantable device for tissue fixation and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

No.
The device is described as an implant for tissue fixation, not for providing therapy. It physically attaches tissue rather than treating a disease or condition therapeutically.

No

The device is described as being "intended for fixation of soft tissue to bone for reattachment," which is a treatment or repair function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical implant manufactured using Poly (L, DL-lactide) with specific physical features (cannulated, oblong head, ridges, spikes). This indicates it is a hardware device, not software only.

Based on the provided information, the TissueTak is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for the "fixation of soft tissue to bone" during surgical procedures. This is a therapeutic/surgical device, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical implantable device made of Poly (L, DL-lactide) with features for surgical fixation. This is consistent with a surgical implant.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, tissue, etc.) 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. The TissueTak's function is purely mechanical and surgical.

§ 888.3030 Single/multiple component metallic bone fixation appliances and accessories.

(a)
Identification. Single/multiple component metallic bone fixation appliances and accessories are devices intended to be implanted consisting of one or more metallic components and their metallic fasteners. The devices contain a plate, a nail/plate combination, or a blade/plate combination that are made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, stainless steel, and titanium, that are intended to be held in position with fasteners, such as screws and nails, or bolts, nuts, and washers. These devices are used for fixation of fractures of the proximal or distal end of long bones, such as intracapsular, intertrochanteric, intercervical, supracondylar, or condylar fractures of the femur; for fusion of a joint; or for surgical procedures that involve cutting a bone. The devices may be implanted or attached through the skin so that a pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system.(b)
Classification. Class II.

Description:

The Arthrex TissueTak is manufactured using Poly (L, DL-lactide). It is cannulated with an oblong head and seven raised ridges along the circumference of the central shaft. There are two spikes on the head of the device to aid in soft tissue fixation.

Intended Use:

The TissueTak is intended for fixation of soft tissue to bone for reattachment of the glenoid labrum or inferior glenohumeral ligament in patients with primary or recurrent anterior dislocation or subluxation of the shoulder in association with adequate post operative immobilization

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.

The material for the TissueTak, Poly (L,DL-Lactide), is currently used in the Synthes Polypin, which has received FDA marketing clearance and has undergone extensive in-vitro and in-vivo testing. Further evaluation of the material was conducted by Claes et. al. ("New bioresorbable pin for the reduction of small bony fragments: design, mechanical properties and in vitro degradation" - Biomaterials, 1996, Vol. 17 No. 16).

The Arthrex TissueTak has the same intended use as the Acufex Suretac and the Bionx Bankart Tack, and the technological differences between these products do not raise different concerns regarding the safety and efficacy of the Arthrex TissueTak.
