More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical properties and biocompatibility of the physical components, with no mention of software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.

Yes
The device is used for the "fixation of bone and soft tissue in orthopedic procedures requiring ligament or tendon reconstruction," which aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device designed to treat or alleviate a medical condition.

No

The device description indicates its use for "fixation of bone and soft tissue in orthopedic procedures requiring ligament or tendon reconstruction," which is a treatment or surgical function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description explicitly states it is comprised of a braided UHMWPE adjustable loop combined with a titanium plate, indicating it is a physical implant, not software.

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 bone and soft tissue in orthopedic procedures requiring ligament or tendon reconstruction." This describes a surgical implant used directly within the body during a procedure.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical implant made of UHMWPE and titanium, designed to be surgically placed.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) outside of the body to provide information about a patient's health status, diagnosis, or treatment.

IVD devices are used in vitro (in glass, or outside the body) to analyze samples and provide diagnostic information. This device is used in vivo (in the body) as a surgical implant.

§ 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. Cook:

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.

Device Description

The Riverpoint Medical OrthoButton ALTM is comprised of a braided ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene ("UHMWPE") adjustable loop combine with a titanium (Ti-6Al-4V ELI per ASTM F136) plate. The device is provided sterile for single use.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

The Riverpoint Medical OrthoButton AL™ is intended for use in the fixation of bone and soft tissue in orthopedic procedures requiring ligament or tendon reconstruction.

Performance Data

Non-clinical performance testing for the Riverpoint Medical OrthoButton AL 110 included sterilization validation per ISO11135-1:2007 - Sterilization of Health Care Products Ethylene Oxide Part 1: Requirements for the Development, Validation, and Routine Control of a Sterilization Process for medical devices, biocompatibility testing per ISO10993-1:2009 -Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices, stability testing on the product and packaging per ISO 11607-1:2006 - Packaging for terminally sterilized medical devices -- Part 1: Requirements for materials, sterile barrier systems and packaging systems, and simulated use Usability Validation performed per EN62366: 2008- Medical devices - Application of usability engineering to medical devices. The Riverpoint Medical OrthoButton AL™ was also evaluated for strength and elongation during cyclic loading and ultimate load to failure conditions. All acceptance criteria were met, and the Riverpoint Medical OrthoButton AL" 100 performed as intended.

Substantial Equivalence and Comparison of Technical Characteristics

The OrthoButton AL™ line extension is as safe and effective as the previously cleared OrthoButton CL®. The OrthoButton AL™ has the same intended use and indications for use, the same principles of operation, and similar technical characteristics as the predicate device. Both the OrthoButton AL 111 and the predicate device are sterilized using the same processes, are composed of the same material, and are tested per the same performance requirements. LAL and rabbit pyrogencity testing has demonstrated that the OrthoButton AL 100 does not raise any additional concerns regarding pyrogenicity. The minor difference in technical characteristics is limited to the ability for adjustment of the loop length. This difference does not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness; therefore, the OrthoButton ALTM line extension is substantially equivalent to the currently marketed predicate device.

Conclusion

The information provided in this Special 510(k) demonstrates that the Riverpoint Medical OrthoButton ALTM line extension is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
