Intended Use
The AperFix AM Femoral Implant is intended for use in tenodesis procedures with soft tissue grafts, utilizing either arthroscopic or open techniques during Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL), Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL), Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL), Lateral Collateral Ligament (LCL), and Medial Patellofemoral Ligament (MPFL) reconstruction.
Device Description
The AperFix AM Femoral Implant with Inserter is a non-absorbable internal fixation device used in arthroscopic or open cruciate ligament reconstruction to anchor tendon grafts (such as the hamstring tendon) within a surgically created femoral tunnel to enable tissue ingrowth with the resultant formation of a permanent bony attachment. Modifications to the device that are the subject of this submission are confined solely to limited to a line extension consisting of a 24 mm (shortened) version of the original 29 mm implant to enable greater flexibility in tendon graft placement within the femur when clinical conditions (i.e. anatomy and/or deformity) preclude use of the original 29 mm device. The body wedge and wings of the modified 24 mm device differ from those of the original 29 mm device in that the wings are one piece (as opposed to using an assembly of a wedge, two arms, and two pins). In both the 24 mm and 29 mm versions of the AperFix device, the advancing head of the central screw causes lateral deflection of the body as the implant is secured in position. In the subject 24 mm device, the wings engage the wall of the femoral tunnel upon tightening the central screw. In the predicate 29 mm device the arms engage the wall of the femoral tunnel upon tightening the central screw and wedge.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the mechanical design and function of a surgical implant for ligament reconstruction, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

Yes
This device is an implantable internal fixation device used for ligament reconstruction, which is a therapeutic procedure aimed at restoring anatomical function.

No

The device is an implant used for internal fixation in ligament reconstruction, not for diagnosis. Its purpose is to anchor soft tissue grafts.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical implant and inserter used in surgical procedures, not a software-only product.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body.
  • AperFix AM Femoral Implant Function: The AperFix AM Femoral Implant is a surgical implant designed to be placed inside the body to anchor soft tissue grafts during ligament reconstruction procedures. It is a mechanical device used for fixation, not for analyzing biological samples.

The provided information clearly describes a surgical implant used for mechanical fixation within the body, which is the opposite of an in vitro diagnostic device.

§ 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.

AperFix® AM Femoral Implant with Inserter

DEVICE DESCRIPTION AND COMPARISON WITH PREDICATE DEVICE

The AperFix AM Femoral Implant with Inserter is a non-absorbable internal fixation device used in arthroscopic or open cruciate ligament reconstruction to anchor tendon grafts (such as the hamstring tendon) within a surgically created femoral tunnel to enable tissue ingrowth with the resultant formation of a permanent bony attachment.

Modifications to the device that are the subject of this submission are confined solely to limited to a line extension consisting of a 24 mm (shortened) version of the original 29 mm implant to enable greater flexibility in tendon graft placement within the femur when clinical conditions (i.e. anatomy and/or deformity) preclude use of the original 29 mm device.

The body wedge and wings of the modified 24 mm device differ from those of the original 29 mm device in that the wings are one piece (as opposed to using an assembly of a wedge, two arms, and two pins). In both the 24 mm and 29 mm versions of the AperFix device, the advancing head of the central screw causes lateral deflection of the body as the implant is secured in position. In the subject 24 mm device, the wings engage the wall of the femoral tunnel upon tightening the central screw. In the predicate 29 mm device the arms engage the wall of the femoral tunnel upon tightening the central screw and wedge.

NON-CLINICAL TESTING

Non-clinical testing data was submitted, referenced, or relied upon to demonstrate substantial equivalence. Mechanical testing was performed on the AperFix AM Femoral Implant with Inserter. It was shown that pull-out strength is comparable to the predicate device. Dimensional analysis was performed on the AperFix AM Femoral Implant with Inserter. Product dimensional analysis met the components and product specifications.

EQUIVALENCE TO MARKETED PRODUCT

The AperFix® AM Femoral Implant with Inserter has the following similarities to the unmodified predicate devices:

  • · has the same intended use,
  • · uses the same operating principle,
  • · incorporates the same basic design,
  • · incorporates the same polymeric materials,
  • · incorporates equivalent metallic materials, and
  • · is packaged using the same materials and processes.

In summary, the AperFix® AM Femoral Implant with Inserter described in this submission is, in our opinion, substantially equivalent to the predicate devices. The data included in this submission demonstrates substantial equivalence to the predicate device listed above. Any differences in the technological characteristics between the subject and predicate device does not raise new issues of safety or efficacy.

Dear Ms. Shahriari:

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.
