The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical properties and surgical instrumentation, with no mention of AI or ML.
Yes.
The device is intended to provide fixation during the healing process following syndesmotic trauma, which aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device that treats or prevents a disease or condition.
No
The device description and intended use clearly state that the CC-Clip® is an implantable device designed for fixation and reconstruction of ligaments, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one. It provides support during healing rather than identifying or characterizing a condition.
No
The device description clearly states that the CC-Clip® device consists of physical components: a titanium implant, a titanium counterpart, and non-resorbable suture. It also includes reusable surgical instruments. This is a hardware-based medical device.
Based on the provided information, the CC-Clip® 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.
- CC-Clip® Function: The CC-Clip® is an implantable surgical device used to physically repair damaged ligaments and provide fixation during the healing process. It is a mechanical device used in vivo (within the body) during surgery.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's an "adjunct in coracoclavicular ligament disruption repair" and provides "fixation during the healing process." This describes a surgical intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample outside the body.
- Device Description: The description details an implantable device made of titanium and suture, along with surgical instruments. This aligns with a surgical implant system, not an IVD.
Therefore, the CC-Clip® device falls under the category of a surgical implant or device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.
No.
The clearance letter explicitly states: "Specifically, FDA is updating this SE Letter because FDA inadvertently indicated that the SE determination also included review and clearance of a predetermined change control plan (PCCP). However, your 510(k) submission did not include a PCCP, so FDA is providing this administrative correction." This clearly indicates that the device is not authorized under a PCCP.
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The CC-Clip® device is intended as an adjunct in coracoclavicular ligament disruption repair. Specifically, the CC-Clip® device is intended to provide fixation during the healing process following a syndesmotic trauma, such as fixation of acromioclavicular separations due to coracoclavicular ligament disruptions.

Device Description
CC-Clip® is an implantable device for an arthroscopic coracoclavicular (CC) ligament reconstruction and acromioclavicular (AC) ligament reconstruction technique. The original ligaments fail due to an AC joint separation and cause superior and posterior translation of the clavicle.
CC-Clip® device consists of a titanium implant on the clavicle, a titanium counterpart under the coracoid, and non-resorbable suture between the implants. A USP size 5 suture is not provided with CC-Clip®, but the Arthrex #5 FiberWire is recommended with the CC-Clip® device.
Instrumentation included with the CC-Clip® system includes two instruments: the CC-Clip® Straight Lasso guide and CC-Clip® Curved Lasso guide. Additional general-use, readily available instrumentation required for the CC-Clip® procedure includes lasso wire, guide pins, and drill bits which are to be supplied by the end user per the surgical technique. Both CC-Clip® guides are re-usable surgical instruments provided non-sterile to the user. The CC-Clip® implants are supplied sterile to the user and are single use.

§ 888.3030 Single/multiple component metallic bone fixation appliances and accessories.
(a)
Identification. Single/multiple component metallic bone fixation appliances and accessories are devices intended to be implanted consisting of one or more metallic components and their metallic fasteners. The devices contain a plate, a nail/plate combination, or a blade/plate combination that are made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, stainless steel, and titanium, that are intended to be held in position with fasteners, such as screws and nails, or bolts, nuts, and washers. These devices are used for fixation of fractures of the proximal or distal end of long bones, such as intracapsular, intertrochanteric, intercervical, supracondylar, or condylar fractures of the femur; for fusion of a joint; or for surgical procedures that involve cutting a bone. The devices may be implanted or attached through the skin so that a pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system.(b)
Classification. Class II.

Specifically, the CC-Clip® device is intended to provide fixation during the healing process following a syndesmotic trauma, such as fixation of acromioclavicular separations due to coracoclavicular ligament disruptions.
Summary of Technological Characteristics:
The CC-Clip® Implant System is similar in its intended use to the predicate device, Arthrex TightRope® Acromioclavicular (AC) device System. The proposed devices are composed of two buttons that are fabricated from titanium alloy per ASTM F136, and the design features for the implant system are similar to the predicate device, including dimensions, shape, and sizes.
Performance Data - Nonclinical:
Substantial equivalence is supported by the results of mechanical testing including engineering analysis of static (ultimate load) and dynamic testing.

|---|---|
| Verification Method | Results |
| Static Testing | Acceptable |
| Dynamic Testing | Acceptable |
oblo 6 1, Mochanicol Tosting Program for CC Clip® Implont System
Testing performed on the CC-Clip® Implant System demonstrated that all performance-based requirements and acceptance criteria were met to support safety and effectiveness and is considered substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
Performance Data - Clinical:
Clinical testing is not required and therefore not conducted as part of this submission.
Substantial Equivalence:
The CC-Clip® Implant System has the same intended use and fundamental scientific technology as the Arthrex TightRope® Acromioclavicular (AC) device (K052776) primary predicate device. Both devices compare similarly in:
- Design features and instrumentation
- Intended use and indications for use
- Material composition
- Dimensions
- Function ●
- . Sterilization methods
Refer to Table 8.2 below for additional information. The potential impact on substantial equivalence of each technological difference was addressed through risk analysis and verification and validation testing. Any differences between the CC-Clip® Implant System and the predicate device do not raise any questions of safety and effectiveness.

Conclusion:
The CC-Clip® Implant System is as safe and effective as its predicate device, as it has the same intended use, indication for use, material composition, design features, manufacturing method, sterilization method, performance requirements and principles of operation as the primary predicate device (K052776). The design differences do not alter the intended use of the device and do not affect its safety and effectiveness when used as labeled. Non-clinical testing demonstrates that the CC-Clip® Implant System is substantially equivalent to the primary predicate device.
