No
The device description and the absence of any mention of AI, ML, image processing, training/test sets, or performance metrics related to algorithmic analysis strongly indicate that this is a purely mechanical implant device.

No
The device is an implant used for anchoring soft tissue to bone, which is a structural and mechanical function, not a therapeutic one. Therapeutic devices typically involve treating a disease, restoring function through biological or pharmacological means, or providing diagnoses related to physiological states. This device serves as a fixture in a repair process.

No.
The device description indicates it is an implantable suture anchor used for surgery to repair soft tissue to bone, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "single use implantable device" manufactured from titanium, indicating it is a physical hardware 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 "anchoring soft tissue to bone in soft tissue repair of the foot and ankle and rotator cuff repair." This describes a surgical implant used in vivo (within the body) to physically attach tissues.
  • Device Description: The description details a "single use implantable device" made of titanium and used with sutures. This further confirms its nature as a surgical implant.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD device is used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The provided description contains none of these elements.

Therefore, the Acumed Suture Anchor is a surgical implant, not an IVD.

§ 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.

Appendix F - 510 (k) Summary

This summary regarding 510(k) safety and effectiveness information is being submitted in accordance with the requirements of SMDA 1990 and 21 CFR 807.93.

The Acumed Suture Anchor is a single use implantable device used with non-absorbable, noncoated white or green #2 or #0 braided polyester suture to anchor soft tissue to bone in rotator cuff repairs as cleared by 510(k) submission K980103 and soft tissue repairs of the foot and ankle. The suture anchor is manufactured from titanium 6AL 4V ELI per ASTM F136 and is provided non-sterile. Acumed has identified a set of process parameters for steam sterilization which provide an SAL of 10 as validated by data on file at Acumed. Information regarding labeling has been provided.

Predicate devices that are substantially equivalent to the Acumed Suture Anchor are the Mitek GII Anchor and SuperAnchor, the Linvatec Revo, and the Zimmer Statak. All the devices mentioned above have the same indications and are manufactured from titanium. The design of the Acumed Suture Anchor is screw based and is similar to the Linvatec Revo and the Zimmer Statak. The Acumed Suture Anchor and the Mitek GII Anchor and SuperAnchor have similar surgical techniques. Based on the similarities between the Acumed Suture Anchor and the predicate devices studied, the safety and effectiveness of the Acumed Suture Anchor is expected to be similar to the predicate devices mentioned above.
