Intended Use
The Poly-Tape/Infinity-Lock Soft Tissue Reinforcement device is a single use device intended for reinforcement of soft tissues that are repaired by suture or other fixation devices during soft tissue repair surgery including reinforcement of rotator cuff, patellar, Achilles, biceps, quadriceps tendon or other tendons . The Poly-Tape/Infinity-Lock Soft Tissue Reinforcement device is not intended to replace normal body structure or provide the full mechanical strength to support the rotator cuff, patellar, Achilles, biceps, quadriceps tendon or other tendons. Sutures, used to repair the tear, and sutures or other fixation devices, used to attach the bone, provide mechanical strength for the repair.
Device Description
The Poly-Tape/Infinity-Lock Soft Tissue Reinforcement device is a woven tape made from Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) also referred to as polyester. This a nonabsorbable material that has a long history of use in the orthopedic market. These devices are permanent implants for the reinforcement of soft tissues that are repaired by suture or other fixation devices during soft tissue repair surgery.
More Information

No
The summary describes a physical implant made of PET and focuses on its mechanical properties and biocompatibility. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.

No
The device is described as a reinforcement device for soft tissues during surgical repair, providing mechanical support but not therapeutic treatment to restore normal function or heal the tissue itself.

No
Explanation: The device is a soft tissue reinforcement device intended for use during surgery. It does not measure, analyze, or interpret any biological or medical parameters to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a woven tape made from Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET), which is a physical material, not software. The performance studies also focus on mechanical properties and biocompatibility, further indicating a hardware device.

Based on the provided information, 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 for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The description clearly states that the Poly-Tape/Infinity-Lock Soft Tissue Reinforcement device is a surgical implant intended for the reinforcement of soft tissues during surgery. It is a physical device used within the body, not for testing samples outside the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples.
    • Providing diagnostic information.
    • Using reagents or assays.
    • Measuring biomarkers.

The device is a surgical aid for mechanical support during soft tissue repair, which falls under a different regulatory category than IVDs.

Dear Steve Curran:

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.

Intended Use/Indications for Use

The Poly-Tape/Infinity-Lock Soft Tissue Reinforcement device is a single use device intended for reinforcement of soft tissues that are repaired by suture or other fixation devices during soft tissue repair surgery including reinforcement of rotator cuff, patellar, Achilles, biceps, quadriceps tendon or other tendons.

The Poly-Tape/Infinity-Lock Soft Tissue Reinforcement device is not intended to replace normal body structure or provide the full mechanical strength to support the rotator cuff, patellar, Achilles, biceps, quadriceps tendon or other tendons. Sutures, used to repair the tear, and sutures or other fixation devices, used to attach the tissue to the bone, provide mechanical strength for the repair.

Comparison of Principles of Operation & Technological Characteristics

The Poly-Tape/Infinity-Lock Soft Tissue Reinforcement device has the same principles of operations as the predicate devices. They are all implants intended for the reinforcement of soft tissues that are repaired by suture or other fixation devices are used in various surgical procedures where soft tissue reinforcement is needed.

At a high level, the subject and predicate devices are based on the following same technological elements:

  • . Surgical Mesh
  • Implant shares the load placed on the primary repair and provides a structural scaffold for torn or damaged soft tissue
  • Provides consistent reinforcement during healing period ●
  • Available in multiple sizes and may be cut to size to meet the surgeon's preference ●
  • 0 Synthetic Material (not OrthAdapt)

The following technological differences exist between the subject and predicate devices:

  • . Subject device is non-resorbable - 2 of the 3 predicates are partially resorbable.

Performance Data

The following performance testing has been completed:

  • Suture Retention Testing ●
  • Ultimate Strength Testing ●
  • Cyclic Testing .
  • Packaging Testing ●
  • Biocompatibility Testing ●

The series of tests, listed above, has been conducted and successfully completed. The results demonstrate that the Poly-Tape/Infinity-Lock Soft Tissue Reinforcement device provide adequate mechanical properties for its use in soft tissue reinforcement.
