Device Description
The Responsive Arthroscopy Interference Screw System is a family of interference screws for the reattachment and fixation of tissue including ligament, tendon, soft tissue, or bone to bone. The system includes cannulated interference screws in both polyether ether ketone (PEEK) per ASTM F2026 and Ti-6Al-4V ELI titanium alloy per ASTM F136, along with drivers, sizers, reamers, taps, and guide wires for screw insertion. The only design differences in the subject device are regarding interference screw length, cannulation, and driving feature. The screws are available in a variety of sizes to accommodate various procedures and patient anatomies. RA PEEK Interference Screws are offered with diameters from 7-12mm and lengths from 15-35mm. RA Titanium Interference Screws are offered with diameters from 7-10mm and lengths from 20-35mm. The RA Interference Screw System implants are provided sterile. The RA Interference Screw System single-use instruments are provided sterile, and the RA Interference Screw System reusable instruments are non-sterile and are to be sterilized by the end user. All RA Interference Screw implants and single-use instruments are sterilized with ethylene oxide (EO).
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical properties and sterilization of the interference screws and associated instruments, with no mention of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is described as an "Interference Screw System" intended for "fixation of tissue including ligament, tendon, soft tissue, or bone to bone" in various surgical procedures, which are considered therapeutic interventions.

No

The device description clearly states its purpose as "reattachment and fixation of tissue" and lists surgical procedures, indicating a therapeutic or reconstructive function rather than diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly states that the system includes physical components such as cannulated interference screws made of PEEK or titanium, drivers, sizers, reamers, taps, and guide wires. These are hardware components, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health. This information is used for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The provided text clearly describes a device used for the surgical fixation of tissue (ligament, tendon, soft tissue, or bone to bone) within the body. It is an implantable device used during surgical procedures.
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: There is no mention of this device being used to analyze any biological specimens. Its function is purely mechanical and structural within the body.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the Responsive Arthroscopy Interference Screw System is a surgical implant, not 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.

Dear Ms. Peña:

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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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.
