More Information

No reference device used

No
The 510(k) summary describes a mechanical fixation device (suture and button) and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

Yes
The device is described as being used in surgical procedures for soft tissue fixation to the bone, specifically for fixation of tendons and ligaments during orthopedic reconstruction procedures, which are therapeutic interventions.

No
Explanation: The device is a surgical implant designed for soft tissue fixation to the bone in orthopedic reconstruction procedures. It is used in treatment, not for diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical implant (suture and titanium button) used in surgical procedures, not a software application.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The description clearly states that the INFILOOP® Fixed Loop UHMWPE Suture Titanium Button is a surgical implant used for soft tissue fixation to the bone during orthopedic reconstruction procedures. It is a physical device used within the body during surgery, not a test performed on a sample outside the body.

The information provided focuses on the surgical application and mechanical performance of the implant, which is consistent with a non-IVD medical device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Verification activities were performed on the implant and its predicates. Testing assessments included biocompatibility, pyrogenicity (both material andotoxin) in accordance with USP , sterility, shelf life, pull-out testing, and cyclic loading (as mentioned in the comparison table). The results of performance testing have demonstrated that the proposed devices are suitable for their intended use.

§ 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 Dr. Dawar:

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 (the 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 available 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.

The logo consists of the word "Healthium" in a blue, sans-serif font, with a stylized graphic to the right. The graphic is composed of two overlapping circles, one orange and one blue, with a white cross shape in the center where they intersect. The text "K232886" is located in the upper left corner of the image.

SE Analysis

Predicate devices are preloaded with one UHMWPE suture and one Polyester Suture, whereas the subject device is preloaded with UHMWPE sutures. From the literature study, it can be inferred that the Polyester suture had lower ultimate load than all groups of sutures used in the study except the suture composed of polyester and UHMWPE (P, sterility, shelf life, pull-out testing, and cyclic loading (as mentioned in the comparison table). The results of performance testing have demonstrated that the proposed devices are suitable for their intended use.

Conclusion

The INFILOOP® Fixed Loop UHMWPE Suture Titanium Button is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices. Any differences between the subject device and the predicate devices do not raised questions concerning safety and effectiveness.

Based on the indications for use, technological characteristics, and the summary of data submitted, it is determined that the proposed device is substantially equivalent to the currently marketed predicate devices.
