Intended Use
The fiXate Tissue Band is intended to be an accessory to the leads component of Spinal Cord Stimulator systems functioning to secure the lead to the fascia or inter-spinous/supra-spinous ligament.
Device Description
The fiXate Tissue Band consists of an adjustable loop of non-absorbable 2-0 suture with two (2) attached anchors. The construct is provided sterile and preloaded on a disposable delivery instrument. The instrument's needle facilitates placement of the suture by positioning the T-anchors in the sub-layer of tissue.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a purely mechanical device for securing leads and makes no mention of AI or ML.

No.
The device is described as an "accessory to the leads component of Spinal Cord Stimulator systems" and functions to secure the lead. It does not directly provide therapy or affect the body's function in a therapeutic way itself.

No

The provided text explicitly states the device is "intended to be an accessory to the leads component of Spinal Cord Stimulator systems functioning to secure the lead to the fascia or inter-spinous/supra-spinous ligament." This describes a supportive, mechanical function, not one involved in diagnosing a medical condition.

No

The device description clearly states it consists of a physical suture, anchors, and a delivery instrument, indicating it is a hardware medical device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is an accessory to a Spinal Cord Stimulator system, functioning to secure a lead to tissue. This is a surgical/implantable device intended for use in vivo (within the body).
  • Device Description: The description details a suture and anchors for tissue fixation, which is consistent with a surgical device, not a diagnostic test performed in vitro (outside the body).
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific analytes, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's health condition.

IVDs are devices used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device does not fit that description.

§ 882.5880 Implanted spinal cord stimulator for pain relief.

(a)
Identification. An implanted spinal cord stimulator for pain relief is a device that is used to stimulate electrically a patient's spinal cord to relieve severe intractable pain. The stimulator consists of an implanted receiver with electrodes that are placed on the patient's spinal cord and an external transmitter for transmitting the stimulating pulses across the patient's skin to the implanted receiver.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).

| Predicate Device(s): | The subject device is substantially equivalent to the following
predicate device: |
| Device Description: | Anulex Technologies fiXate Tissue Band
(K111462 cleared September 8, 2011 and K112849
cleared October 27, 2011) The fiXate Tissue Band consists of an adjustable loop of non-
absorbable 2-0 suture with two (2) attached anchors. The
construct is provided sterile and preloaded on a disposable
delivery instrument. The instrument's needle facilitates
placement of the suture by positioning the T-anchors in the sub-

| Functional and Safety
Testing: | Biocompatibility and bench testing were completed and support
the safety and effectiveness of the fiXate Tissue Band. |
| Conclusion: | The fiXate Tissue Band is similar in materials, design, and
performance characteristics and has the same intended use as the
original fiXate Tissue Band (K111462). Substantial equivalence
is demonstrated through the detailed device description,
performance testing and conformance with voluntary
performance standards. |

Dear Ms. Kennedy:

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.
