Intended Use
The XTREME-LOOP is used for fixation of tendons and ligaments during orthopaedic reconstruction procedures such as Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction.
Device Description
The XTREME-LOOP fixation device consists of a Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) continuous loop captured on a titanium alloy button sits on the exit to a bone tunnel on the cortex, suspending the continuous loop inside the tunnel to provide secure, strong fixation for ligament reconstruction. The XTREME-LOOP fixation device is supplied with sutures that are used to pull the graft assembly into place and then flip the button allowing ligament reconstruction to be performed arthroscopically.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical properties and biocompatibility of a physical fixation device, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

No.
The device is used for fixation of tendons and ligaments during orthopaedic reconstruction procedures, which suggests it is a structural support device rather than one that treats or cures a disease or condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is used for "fixation of tendons and ligaments during orthopaedic reconstruction procedures," indicating it is a surgical implant. There is no mention of it being used to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical fixation device made of UHMWPE and titanium alloy, used for surgical procedures. It is not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the fixation of tendons and ligaments during orthopaedic reconstruction procedures. This is a surgical procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is a physical implant used to secure tissue within the body.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) outside the body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not perform any such diagnostic function.

The information provided clearly describes a surgical implant used for structural support within the body, not a device used for in vitro diagnostic testing.

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

The XTREME-LOOP when tested against the SECURE-LOOP (K151601) for strength, stiffness, strength after fatigue, extension at predicate UTS, cyclic fatigue testing, and functional testing, was determined to be substantially equivalent. The device has been tested for pyrogenicity using the turbidimetric Limulus Amoebocyte Lysate (LAL) method in line with the requirements of ANSI/AAMI ST72:2011. It was found to have a result of , Pyrogen test with a result of a total rise in temperature for three animals over 3 hours of 0.5°C with no single animal above 0.5℃, and was therefore judged to be non-pyrogenic. The testing demonstrated that the differences between the new device and the predicate device do not raise any new issues of safety and efficacy. The performance data benefit/risk analysis concluded that the differences encountered do not affect the safety and efficacy of the new device in relation to the predicate..
Summary: Based on the pre-clinical testing performance, the XTREME-LOOP is found to have a safety and effectiveness profile that is similar to the predicate 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.

Dear Mr. Seed:

We have reviewed vour 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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products.

IV. DEVICE DESCRIPTION

The XTREME-LOOP fixation device consists of a Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) continuous loop captured on a titanium alloy button sits on the exit to a bone tunnel on the cortex, suspending the continuous loop inside the tunnel to provide secure, strong fixation for ligament reconstruction. The XTREME-LOOP fixation device is supplied with sutures that are used to pull the graft assembly into place and then flip the button allowing ligament reconstruction to be performed arthroscopically.

V. INDICATIONS FOR USE

The XTREME-LOOP fixation device is used for fixation of tendons and ligaments during orthopaedic reconstruction procedures such as anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction.

VI. COMPARISIONS OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS WITH THE PREDICATE DEVICE

The XTREME-LOOP has the same technological characteristics as the predicate SECURE-LOOP, with respect to intended use, labelling, composition of all components except for the continuous loop material, basic design, functionality and uses essentially the same manufacturing methods except for differences in the button manufacture and sterilization method.

VII. PERFORMANCE DATA

The XTREME-LOOP when tested against the SECURE-LOOP (K151601) for strength, stiffness, strength after fatigue, extension at predicate UTS, cyclic fatigue testing, and functional testing, was determined to be substantially equivalent. The device has been tested for pyrogenicity using the turbidimetric Limulus Amoebocyte Lysate (LAL) method in line with the requirements of ANSI/AAMI ST72:2011.

The testing demonstrated that the differences between the new device and the predicate device do not raise any new issues of safety and efficacy. The performance data benefit/risk analysis concluded that the differences encountered do not affect the safety and efficacy of the new device in relation to the predicate..

Summary: Based on the pre-clinical testing performance, the XTREME-LOOP is found to have a safety and effectiveness profile that is similar to the predicate device.

Image /page/5/Picture/0 description: The image shows the word "XIROS" in a rounded rectangle. The rectangle is light gray and the text is a darker gray. There is a line extending from the right side of the rectangle that curves upward and to the right.

VIII.CONCLUSION

The XTREME-LOOP is composed of the same materials with the exception of the continuous loop material (manufactured from a different fibre of polymeric material) and has essentially the same basic design as the predicate device. It is manufactured in the same manner and uses essentially the same methods of that used to manufacture the predicate device.

Testing performed demonstrate that the XTREME-LOOP is substantially equivalent to the SECURE-LOOP fixation device.

Xiros therefore conclude the XTREME-LOOP is substantially equivalent to the SECURE-LOOP also manufactured by Xiros.
