Intended Use
The RAPIDLOC-PDS Meniscal Repair System is intended for use in the arthroscopic fixation of longitudinal vertical meniscus lesions (bucket-handle lesions) located in the vascularized area of the meniscus (red-red and red-white areas).
Device Description
The RAPIDLOC-PDS Meniscal Repair System consists of a two piece (polydiaxonone tophat and polylactic acid backstop) bioabsorbable meniscal tissue fixation implant mounted on a 2/0 pre-knotted PANACRYL braided long-term absorbable suture. It is applied using a cannulated needle and arthroscopic pusher.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a mechanical surgical device and its components, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

Yes
The device is used for the "arthroscopic fixation of longitudinal vertical meniscus lesions," which is a treatment for a medical condition.

No
The device, RAPIDLOC-PDS Meniscal Repair System, is described as a "bioabsorbable meniscal tissue fixation implant" used for "arthroscopic fixation of longitudinal vertical meniscus lesions." This indicates it is a therapeutic device designed for repair and treatment, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components (implant, suture, needle, pusher) and does not mention any software as a component of the system.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This information is used for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description: The RAPIDLOC-PDS Meniscal Repair System is a surgical implant and delivery system used to physically repair a torn meniscus within the knee joint. It is applied directly to the tissue inside the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to fix a meniscus lesion, which is a surgical procedure, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample outside the body.

The information provided clearly describes a surgical device used for repair, not a diagnostic test performed on a biological sample.

§ 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.
