More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a mechanical implant (screw) and its material properties and performance in pull-out strength and insertion torque tests. There is no mention of software, algorithms, image processing, or terms related to AI/ML.

Yes
The device is used for the fixation of ligaments and tendons in patients requiring repair, which is a therapeutic intervention.

No
Explanation: The device is an interference screw used for fixation of ligaments and tendons, which is a therapeutic function, not diagnostic. Its purpose is to repair or fix anatomical structures, not to identify or characterize a disease or condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical screw made of PEEK CF, a material, and provides dimensions, indicating it is a hardware device.

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, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The description clearly states the device is a "cannulated, tapered fastener for use in interference fixation of ligaments and tendons." This is a surgical implant used directly within the body to repair tissues.
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: There is no mention of analyzing any biological specimens from the patient. The device is used for mechanical fixation.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the Parcus PEEK CF Interference Screw is a surgical implant, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

The pull out strength and insertion torque was measured for the smallest (7mm) and largest (12mm) Parcus PEEK CF Interference Screws as well as an intermediate size. Test results were compared to the results of the corresponding size of Parcus Titanium Interference Screws and demonstrated substantial equivalence.

§ 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.

Predicate Devices:

  • . Parcus Titanium Interference Screws (K083619)
  • Smith & Nephew PEEK Interference Screws (K083226) .

Device Description:

The Parcus PEEK CF Interference Screw is a cannulated, tapered fastener for use in interference fixation of ligaments and tendons in patients requiring ligament or tendon repair. The device is made from Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polyetheretherketone (PEEK CF) and is available in sizes ranging from 7-12mm in diameter and 20-35mm in length.

Intended Use:

The Parcus PEEK CF Interference Screw is indicated for use in the fixation of ligaments and tendons in patients requiring ligament or tendon repair.

Substantial Equivalence Summary:

The Parcus PEEK CF Interference Screws are essentially the same as the Parcus Titanium Interference Screws aside from the difference in material.

The only difference between the materials for the Parcus PEEK CF Interference Screw and the Smith & Nephew PEEK Interference Screw is that the Parcus Interference Screw is carbon reinforced. Carbon fibers have been used clinically for more than 20 years as a reinforcement component for implant materials without obvious leachable-related biocompatibility reactions.

Furthermore, there are currently several medical device implants on the market made from PEEK CF (e.g. Zimmer Spine BAK® Vista® Radiolucent Interbody Fusion System and the Depuy Spine OCELOT™ Stackable Cage System).

Therefore the Parcus PEEK CF Interference Screw is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices listed above in which the basic features and intended uses are the same. Any differences between the PEEK CF Interference Screw and the predicate devices are considered minor and do not raise questions concerning safety and effectiveness.

Summary Performance Data:

The pull out strength and insertion torque was measured for the smallest (7mm) and largest (12mm) Parcus PEEK CF Interference Screws as well as an intermediate size. Test results were compared to the results of the corresponding size of Parcus Titanium Interference Screws and demonstrated substantial equivalence.
