Intended Use

The Meniscal Repair Device provides fixation of longitudinal vertical meniscus lesions (bucket-handle) located in the vascularized area of the meniscus. Implantation of the device is accomplished through arthroscopy or arthrotomy.

Device Description

The Meniscal Repair Device is a cannulated, sterile, single-use bone screw made of an absorbable homopolymer derived from Poly (L-lactic Acid) similar to that used in bioabsorbable suture and will gradually be absorbed into the body.

AI/ML Overview

The provided document is a 510(k) summary for a Meniscal Repair Device (Bone Screw) and details its substantial equivalence to predicate devices. It does not contain information about acceptance criteria and a study proving the device meets those criteria in the context of AI/machine learning performance.

The study referenced is a non-clinical comparative pull-out strength test, which is a biomechanical test for a physical device, not an evaluation of an AI or algorithmic device.

Therefore, I cannot extract the requested information (points 1-9) as it pertains to AI/machine learning acceptance criteria and studies from this document. The document describes a traditional medical device (a bone screw) and its safety and effectiveness in comparison to existing devices.
