More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical fixation and do not mention any computational or analytical capabilities that would suggest AI/ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" and "Description of the training set..." sections are also explicitly marked as "Not Found".

Yes
The device is used for ACL reconstruction, which is a medical procedure to repair an injured knee ligament and restore function. This falls under the definition of a therapeutic device.

No
The device is described as an "Adjustable Juxtacortical Fixation Device" used for ACL reconstruction, which indicates it is a surgical implant designed for repair, rather than for diagnosing a condition.

No

The device description clearly states it consists of a physical implant (adjustable nonabsorbable braided loop and titanium button) and is supplied sterile, indicating it is a hardware medical device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "as juxtacortical fixation for ACL reconstruction." This describes a surgical implant used to physically stabilize a ligament during surgery.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical implant made of a braided loop and titanium button, designed for surgical implantation.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device being used to test samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or to provide information about a patient's health status or disease. IVDs are used for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

The PULLUP® device is a surgical implant used in a reconstructive procedure, not a diagnostic tool.

§ 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.

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. 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 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 ); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set
