Yes.
The device is indicated for the repair of severed or lacerated digital flexor tendons, which is a therapeutic purpose.
No
The Teno Fix™ tendon repair system is indicated for the repair of severed or lacerated digital flexor tendons. It is a repair system, not a diagnostic device.
No
The device description explicitly states it consists of implantable stainless steel components, implantation accessories, and installation instruments, which are physical hardware components.
Based on the provided information, the Ortheon Medical Teno Fix™ tendon repair system is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for the repair of severed or lacerated digital flexor tendons. This is a surgical procedure performed in vivo (within the living body) to physically fix damaged tissue.
- Device Description: The device consists of implantable components (anchors, stop beads, suture) and instruments for implantation. These are all designed for direct surgical intervention on the body.
- Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device being used to test samples (like blood, urine, or tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to diagnose a condition, monitor a disease, or screen for health issues.
IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for diagnostic purposes. The Teno Fix™ system is a therapeutic device used for surgical repair.

Device Description
The Teno Fix™ Tendon Repair System is delivered sterile. It consists of the implantable stainless steel components, implantation accessories, and installation instruments. The implantable components of the device include the anchors, stop beads, and suture. The stainless steel suture is shipped pre-assembled with a crimped stop bead and tapered needle.
The Teno Fix™ Tendon Repair System is supplied with two preloaded, single-use disposable installation instruments for implantation of the Teno Fix™ anchors. A crimping instrument is supplied to crimp the stop bead to the stainless steel core suture thus controlling the overall length of the implanted device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
The Teno Fix™ meets the requirements of the following recognized consensus standards.
- ASTM F899 95, Standard Specification for Stainless Steel Billet, Bar and Wire for Surgical Instruments
- ASTM F138 00. Standard Specification for Wrought 18 Chromium-14 Nickel-2.5 Molybdenum Stainless Steel Bar and Wire for Surgical Implants (UNS S31673)
- Sterilization of health care products-Requirements for validation and routine control-Radiation sterilization, ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11137-1994, Approved 25 May 1994 by Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation, Approved 11 July 1994 by American National Standards Institute, Inc.
Comparative bench testing has established substantial equivalence to the predicate devices. Furthermore, the device has similar technological characteristics to the predicate devices.
Comparative testing in canines shows substantial equivalence to the predicate devices, demonstrating the biocompatibility of the materials, stability of the implant within the tendon, and the ability of the product to improve healing of the injury over the predicate devices by reducing the gap between severed ends of the tendon.
Results of a comparative clinical study in humans shows the Teno Fix™ Tendon Repair System performs as well or better than the predicate devices, and that it is safe and effective.
The Teno Fix™ Tendon Repair System:
- meets the requirements of the stated standards;
- embodies technological characteristics essentially identical to those of the predicate . devices:
- has been shown through clinical study that it performs as well or better than the predicate devices:
- has been shown through clinical study it is safe and effective: and .
- has been designed and developed utilizing design control methods in compliance . with 21CFR820.
