More Information

No
The provided text describes a mechanical suture anchor and its intended use and performance testing. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology typically associated with AI/ML in medical devices. The performance study focuses on mechanical holding strength.

No
The device is an implant for tissue fixation, not a therapeutic device designed to treat a disease or condition through non-surgical means. It is used in surgical repair.

No

The device is an implantable anchor for soft tissue to bone fixation, used for repair and reconstruction, which is a therapeutic function, not diagnostic.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "three-piece polymer implant assembled onto a delivery shaft" and is a "sterile, single use device," indicating it is a physical medical device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "soft tissue to bone fixation" in specific anatomical locations (shoulder, knee, ankle) for various repairs and reconstructions. This is a surgical procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is a "polymer implant assembled onto a delivery shaft" and is "delivered manually using a delivery handle." This describes a physical implant used in surgery.
  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics (IVDs) are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.

The RC Multi-Suture Anchor is a surgical implant used in vivo (within the living body), not a test performed in vitro (in a lab setting).

Summary of Performance Studies

Bone Model Testing: the ultimate holding strength of the proposed RC Multi-Suture Anchor was compared to the currently marketed ROC EZ Suture Bone Fastener. The holding strength of the proposed RC Multi-Suture Anchor was greater than that of the predicate device, demonstrating substantially equivalent performance between the devices.

§ 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.
