Intended Use
The TRUESPAN Meniscal Repair System is intended for use in meniscal repairs and meniscal allograft transplant procedures. The TRUESPAN Meniscal Repair System is intended to be used for anchoring the allograft to the meniscal rim during allograft transplant procedures.
Device Description
The proposed device is an all-inside meniscal repair system. The implant consists of two rigid backstops (absorbable PLGA*1 or non-absorbable PEEK*2), size #2-0 Orthocord suture and UHMWPE braid. The implant system and applier are pre-assembled, and the whole device is sterile, for single patient use only. Compression of the fixation point is accomplished by pulling on the suture post to allow the two suture strands creating the bridge between the implants to lay tight on the surface of the fixation point. *1 PLGA: Poly(lactide-co-glycolide) *2 PEEK: polyaryletherketone
More Information

No
The summary describes a mechanical surgical implant and delivery system, with no mention of software, data processing, or AI/ML terms.

No

The device is an all-inside meniscal repair system used for anchoring allograft to the meniscal rim during transplant procedures. It is a surgical implant designed for mechanical repair, not a device that directly treats or cures a disease or condition with therapeutic effect.

No

The device is described as an "all-inside meniscal repair system" intended for "meniscal repairs and meniscal allograft transplant procedures." Its function is to anchor allografts and provide fixation, which are treatment functions, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description clearly states the device is an "all-inside meniscal repair system" consisting of physical implants (rigid backstops, suture, and braid) and an applier. This is a hardware-based medical device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for "meniscal repairs and meniscal allograft transplant procedures" and "anchoring the allograft to the meniscal rim". This describes a surgical procedure performed directly on a patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is described as an "all-inside meniscal repair system" consisting of implants (backstops, suture, braid) and an applier. This is a physical device used in surgery.
  • Anatomical Site: The anatomical site is the "meniscal rim", which is part of the knee joint.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on "Implant system strength" and "Biocompatibility", which are relevant to a surgical implant.

In Vitro Diagnostics (IVDs) are devices used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not perform any such analysis of specimens.

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

Implant system strength was evaluated in vitro and after cyclic (bench top). The testing demonstrated substantial equivalence of performance to the predicate device. Biocompatibility is also confirmed based on biocompatibility data and justification. The proposed device has raised no new issue of safety and efficacy.

§ 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.
