Intended Use
The Straight-In Bone Screw Fixation System is intended for soft tissue fixation to the pubic bone by means of bone screws threaded with suture. It is indicated for use during open or laparoscopic surgical procedures where soft tissue fixation to the pubic bone is needed (e.g., bladder neck suspension and urethral sling procedures for female stress urinary incontinence resulting from urethral hypermobility and/or intrinsic sphincter deficiency).
Device Description
This 510(k) notification describes a bone screw and bone screw inserter intended for soft tissue fixation to the pubic bone by means of bone screws threaded with suture. The Straight-In Bone Screw Fixation System is indicated for use during open or laparoscopic surgical procedures where soft tissue fixation to the pubic bone is needed (e.g., bladder neck suspension and urethral sling procedures for female stress urinary incontinence resulting from urethral hypermobility and/or intrinsic sphincter deficiency). The Straight-In Bone Screw Fixation System uses the identical bone screws and suture, but has a long, straight and narrow Inserter suitable for use in open and laparoscopic surgical procedures where soft tissue fixation to the pubic bone is needed.
More Information

No
The description focuses on a mechanical bone screw and inserter system for surgical fixation, with no mention of AI/ML capabilities or data processing.

No
The device is described as a bone screw and bone screw inserter system for soft tissue fixation, primarily used in surgical procedures like bladder neck suspension. While it aids in a medical procedure, its function is mechanical fixation rather than directly treating or curing a disease or condition through biological, pharmacological, or metabolic means, which is typical of therapeutic devices. It facilitates the process of treatment by a surgeon.

No
The device is described as a "Bone Screw Fixation System" intended for "soft tissue fixation" during surgical procedures, not for diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a bone screw and bone screw inserter, which are physical hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used outside of the body (in vitro).
  • Device Description: The Straight-In Bone Screw Fixation System is a surgical device used inside the body (in vivo) to fix soft tissue to bone. It involves physical implantation and manipulation during a surgical procedure.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical procedure for soft tissue fixation, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.

The information provided about the device's function, intended use, and surgical application all point to it being a surgical implant/device, not an in vitro diagnostic.

Device Description

This 510(k) notification describes a bone screw and bone screw inserter intended for soft tissue fixation to the pubic bone by means of bone screws threaded with suture. The Straight-In Bone Screw Fixation System is substantially equivalent to Influence, Inc.'s In-Fast Bone Screw System cleared under K970292 and the Vesica Suture Anchor System cleared under K932925. The mechanical properties and device materials of the Straight-In and In-Fast systems are identical. In both devices, fixation of soft tissue to bone is accomplished by a sharp tipped small diameter bone screw threaded with polypropylene suture. The In-Fast system is inserted pervaginally through soft tissue and into the pubic bone, without drilling holes or performing soft tissue dissection. The Straight-In Bone Screw Fixation System uses the identical bone screws and suture, but has a long, straight and narrow Inserter suitable for use in open and laparoscopic surgical procedures where soft tissue fixation to the pubic bone is needed. Like the Vesica system, the Straight-In uses an abdominal access procedure for soft tissue fixation to the pubic bone.

§ 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.
