LIGAFIX 30 is a cannulated, sterile, single-use, resorbable interference bone screw made of a mixture of tri calcium phosphate (30% β-TCP) and Poly Lactic Acid (70% PLA) designed for the interference fixation of grafts in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.
LIGAFIX 30° resorbable cannulated screws are designed for the interference fixation of grafts in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.
LIGAFIX 30® interference screws are made of a ceramic (30% ß-TCP) / polymer (70% Poly Lactic Acid -PLA) composite.
LIGAFIX 30° interference screws are supplied sterile and individually packaged in double heat sealed pouches.
This document is a 510(k) summary for the LIGAFIX® Resorbable Interference Screw. It describes the device and its intended use, and states that substantial equivalence is based on similar fundamental scientific technology, operating principle, and intended use as a previously cleared predicate device (K050407), with modifications limited to additional screw sizes and a slightly modified head design.
Therefore, the submission does not contain information about acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets acceptance criteria. It is a regulatory submission for substantial equivalence based on modifications to an already cleared device, not a performance study.
Thus, I cannot answer the questions as the requested information is not present in the provided text.

Dear Mr. Clement:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food. Drug. and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA). it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA`s issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807): labeling (21 CFR Part 801): good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820): and if applicable, the clectronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050. This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Scction 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally

marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (240) 276-0120. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97).

§ 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.
