Yes
The device, an interference screw, is specifically indicated for the reattachment of ligament, tendon, soft tissue, or bone to bone during various surgical procedures, which directly addresses medical conditions to restore function or provide treatment.

No

This device is an implantable screw used for surgical fixation of soft tissue to bone, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical implant made of PEEK material, intended for surgical use. It is a hardware device, not software.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical implant used for the reattachment of tissues during various orthopedic procedures. This is a therapeutic and structural function within the body.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a non-absorbable implant made of PEEK material, designed to be placed inside the body.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes.

VII Performance data

Non-clinical bench tests were conducted in support of the substantial equivalence determination.

Material Standards

The material standards are the essential part to be complied with first, as it is the basis of manufacturing surgical implants.

We have complied with the following material standards:

ASTM F2026-17: Standard Specification for Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) Polymers for Surgical Implant Applications

Biocompatibility testing

14

Biocompatibility of the Syntheface PEEK Interference Screw and Syntheface PEEK Screw Sheath were evaluated in accordance with ISO 10993-1: 2018 for the body contact category of "Implant medical device - Tissue/ bone" with a contact duration of "Long term ( > 30 d)".

Bacterial endotoxin testing

Bacterial endotoxins for the interference screw and screw sheath are determined using LAL testing to meet endotoxin limit specifications.

Mechanical performance testing

The following are the mechanical tests that have been performed on the Subject device and Predicate device:

    1. Screw-in test
    1. Pullout test
    1. Fatigue test

Sterilization and Shelf-life testing

The sterilization method has been validated according to ISO 11135:2014 to a SAL of 10-5 which has thereby determined the routine control and monitoring parameters, 5-year shelflife of the device has been evaluated by accelerated ageing test.

Safety in MRI

The Syntheface PEEK Interference Screw and Syntheface PEEK Screw Sheath are MR safe as the polyetheretherketone material is nonmetallic, nonconducting materials that do not contain ferromagnetic materials or any other metallic markers that can interfere with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). There are no concerns with the performance of the devices in an MRI environment. These devices are labeled MR safe per ASTM F2503.

VIII Conclusion

The Syntheface PEEK Interference Screw and Syntheface PEEK Screw Sheath are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices. The non-clinical testing demonstrates that the devices are as safe, as effective and performs as well as the legally marketed devices.
