Intended Use
The TALON™ Anchor Snap-Pak is used for the fixation of non-absorbable braided surgical suture to bone. This product is intended for the following indications: - Repair/reconstruction of collateral ligaments, Flexor and Extensor Hand: tendons at the PIP (Proximal Interphalangeal), DIP (Distal Interphalangeal) and MCP (Metacarpal Interphalangeal) joints for all digits. - Repair/reconstruction of ligaments and tendons on the dorsal and Wrist: volar aspects of the carpal bones.
Device Description
The device described in this 510(k) is a sterile implant used to anchor or lock suture within pre-drilled bone sites and firmly secure soft tissue to bone.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a mechanical implant for suture fixation and does not mention any computational or data-driven components indicative of AI/ML.

No
Explanation: This device is used for the fixation of sutures to bone for repair/reconstruction of ligaments and tendons, which is a structural or mechanical function, not a therapeutic one that directly treats a disease or condition.

No
The device is described as an implant used for the fixation of sutures to bone for repair/reconstruction of ligaments and tendons, which functions as a treatment device rather than a diagnostic one.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "sterile implant used to anchor or lock suture within pre-drilled bone sites," indicating it is a physical hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use/Indications for Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical implant used for fixing sutures to bone for the repair and reconstruction of ligaments and tendons in the hand and wrist. This is a direct surgical intervention on the body.
  • Device Description: The description confirms it's a sterile implant used to anchor suture within bone sites to secure soft tissue. This is a mechanical device for surgical fixation.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue samples) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment.

IVD devices are used outside the body to analyze samples and provide diagnostic information. This device is implanted inside the body for structural support and fixation.

§ 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.
