The LigaPASS™ system is an implant for use in orthopaedic surgery. The system is intended to provide temporary stabilization as a bone anchor during the development of solid bony fusion and id in the repair of bone fractures. The indications for use are as follows:
· Spinal trauma surgery, used in sublaminar or facet wiring techniques;
· Spinal reconstructive surgery, incorporated into constructs for the purpose of correction of spinal deformities such as idiopathic and neuromuscular scoliosis in patients 8 years of age and older, adults scoliosis and kyphosis;
· Spine degenerative surgery as an adjunct to spinal fusions.
· Intended for use with a posterior spinal instrumentation construct when ligamentation is needed.
The LigaPASS™ system may also be used in conjunction with other medical implants made of titanium or cobalt-chrome alloy whenever "wiring" may help secure the attachment of other implants.
The purpose of this submission is to expand the indications of the LigaPASS™ system to include the use with a posterior spinal instrumentation construct when ligament augmentation is needed.
The LigaPASS™ 2.0 Ligament Augmentation System provides surgeons the ability to mimic anatomical muscle and ligament functionality and stabilization between vertebrae that are collapsed during surgery before fusion. The LigaPASS™ 2.0 Ligament Augmentation System is designed to restore balance and stability as a complement to a posterior thoracolumbar fixation system. Ergonomic instrumentation provides smooth assembly with self-stabilizing tensioners and torque-limiting locking tools. The LigaPASS™ 2.0 Ligament Augmentation System consists of a polyester (PET) band and titanium alloy medial open connector with 2 set screws.
LigaPASS™ bands allow the surgeon to create a posterior vertebra anchorage without theuse of a pedicle screw or hook. Instead of a pedicle screw or hook, the LigaPASS™ bands are laced around the vertebra independently of the vertebra anatomy and then connected to a LigaPASSTM connector to make the rod-bone connection.
The LigaPASS™ 2.0 bands are comprised of a PET braid and pure titanium (T40) malleable leads at the ends of the bands. The malleable tips help the surgeon to lace the band around the vertebra. They can be bent by the surgeon to make it pass under and through the vertebral body easier.
The LigaPASS™ connectors allow surgeons to attach a rod to a vertebral body without the use of the pedicle. Instead of a pedicle screw, the LigaPASS™ connector use a facet band to make the rod-bone connection. The connectors are comprised of a connector body, a rod set screw, a locking set screw for the band and a polyester band. The body of these connectors is manufactured from titanium allov (Ti-6Al-4V). The part is compatible with any rods made of titanium or cobalt chromium alloys between diameters 5.5 mm and 6.0 mm.
The provided text is a 510(k) premarket notification decision letter and summary for the LigaPASS™ 2.0 Ligament Augmentation System. It does not contain information about acceptance criteria or a study proving that an AI/Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) meets acceptance criteria.
The document pertains to a physical medical device (ligament augmentation system) used in orthopedic surgery, not a diagnostic or AI-powered device. The "Performance Testing Summary" explicitly states:
"No additional bench or animal testing was completed for the purpose of this 510(k) submission. The non-clinical performance of the LigaPASS™ 2.0 Medial System has been validated through a series of 510(k) submissions (K172021, K173506). Clinical data published in the literature were provided to support the use of ligament augmentation with the LigaPASS™ system in adult spinal deformity surgery."
Therefore, I cannot extract the requested information regarding AI device acceptance criteria and study details from this document.
§ 888.3010 Bone fixation cerclage.
(a)
Identification. A bone fixation cerclage is a device intended to be implanted that is made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, and that consists of a metallic ribbon or flat sheet or a wire. The device is wrapped around the shaft of a long bone, anchored to the bone with wire or screws, and used in the fixation of fractures.(b)
