More Information

No
The summary describes a mechanical implant for bone fixation and does not mention any software, image processing, or AI/ML terms.

Yes
The device is used for fixation of tissue during cruciate ligament reconstruction procedures, which is a therapeutic intervention.

No
The Intended Use/Indications for Use states the device is for "fixation of tissue including ligament or tendon to bone and bone tendon during cruciate ligament reconstruction procedures," which describes a surgical fixation device, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of a "pre-packaged mating sheath and a screw pair," which are physical hardware components.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "fixation of tissue including ligament or tendon to bone and bone tendon during cruciate ligament reconstruction procedures." This describes a surgical procedure performed on the patient's body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a "pre-packaged mating sheath and a screw pair." This is a physical implant used in surgery.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting substances, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.

IVDs are devices used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device clearly falls outside of that definition.

§ 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 DevicesK093912: Arthrex Tibial GraftBolt
Device Description and
Intended UseThe Arthrex Tibial GraftBolt consists of a pre-packaged mating
sheath and a screw pair offered in two new sizes which extend
the current size range.
The Arthrex Tibial GraftBolt is intended to be used for fixation
of tissue including ligament or tendon to bone and bone tendon
during cruciate ligament reconstruction procedures.
Substantial Equivalence
SummaryThe Arthrex Tibial GraftBolt is substantially equivalent to the
Arthrex Tibial GraftBolt (K093912), in which the basic features,
materials and intended uses are the same. Any differences
between the Tibial GraftBolt and the predicate are considered
minor and do not raise questions concerning safety and
effectiveness.
The submitted mechanical testing data demonstrated that the
ultimate load strength of the proposed devices meets or exceeds
the minimum acceptance criteria.
Based on the indication for use, technological characteristics, and
the comparison to the predicate devices, Arthrex, Inc. has
determined that the Arthrex Tibial GraftBolt is substantially
equivalent to currently marketed predicate devices.

Dear Ms. Smith:

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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

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
