Intended Use
The 2.8mm and 3.5mm BioROC EZ Suture Bone Fasteners are intended for the reattachment of soft tissue to bone for the following indications: SHOULDER - Repair of rotator cuff tears - Capsular instability - Slap lesion repair - Acromio-clavicular separation - Capsule shift/capsulolabral reconstruction - Biceps tenodesis - Deltoid repair KNEE - Extra-capsular repairs, and reattachment of medial collateral ligament, lateral ligament, posterior oblique ligament, joint capsule closure. - Patellar ligament and tendon avuision repairs. - Extra-capsular reconstruction, ITB tenodesis ANKLE - Lateral instability - Medial instability - Achilles tendon reconstruction and repair - Mid-foot reconstructions FOOT - Hallux valgus reconstruction ELBOW - Tennis elbow repair - Biceps tendon reattachment - Medial and lateral repairs
Device Description
The BioROC EZ suture bone fastener implant tip portion consists of a shear pin, expander and sleeve. The expander and sleeve is fitted onto the shear pin component such that the expander component is located below the sleeve on the shear pin. As the shear pin is pulled up during the device deployment, the expander engages the sleeve. The expander is tapered such that it will fit into the sleeve component as the deployment action progresses. As the expander is drawn into the sleeve expands to make contact with the surrounding bone. This expanding sleeve results in the final fixation properties of the device. Once the expander is completely seated inside the sleeve, the shearing pin shears from the fastener assembly resulting in the device being fixated into the bone hole. In addition to the Fastener, a stainless steel drill and drill guide is available to establish the proper hole in the bone for the Fastener along with an obturator, deployment handle and hole finder. All of the instrumentation except the Fastener will be offered as reusable devices and can be autoclaved in the sterilization tray provided for this purpose. The Fastener will be available as a sterile, single use device in both an open and arthroscopic version. Both sutured and sutureless versions will be marketed.

The device description focuses on mechanical components and their interaction for fixation, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

Yes.
The device is intended for the reattachment of soft tissue to bone for various orthopedic indications, which aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device designed to treat or alleviate a medical condition.

No

The device is a bone fastener intended for the reattachment of soft tissue to bone, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly details physical components like fasteners, drills, guides, and handles, indicating it is a hardware-based medical device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This information is used for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The description and intended use clearly state that this device is a surgical implant used to reattach soft tissue to bone. It is a physical device inserted into the body during a surgical procedure.
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: There is no mention of this device being used to analyze any biological specimens. Its function is purely mechanical fixation within the body.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the BioROC EZ Suture Bone Fastener is a surgical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 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.

3. PREDICATE DEVICE:

The predicate devices used to determine substantial equivalence for the Innovasive Devices BioROC EZ Suture Bone Fastener were (1) the 2.8mm and 3.5mm Innovasive Devices ROC EZ Suture Bone Fastener marketed by Innovasive Devices, Marlborough, MA, and (2) the Bio-Anchor marketed by Linvatec, Largo, FL.

4. DEVICE DESCRIPTION:

The BioROC EZ suture bone fastener implant tip portion consists of a shear pin, expander and sleeve. The expander and sleeve is fitted onto the shear pin component such that the expander component is located below the sleeve on the shear pin. As the shear pin is pulled up during the device deployment, the expander engages the sleeve. The expander is tapered such that it will fit into the sleeve component as the deployment action progresses. As the expander is drawn into the sleeve expands to make contact with the surrounding bone. This expanding sleeve results in the final fixation properties of the device. Once the expander is completely seated inside the sleeve, the shearing pin shears from the fastener assembly resulting in the device being fixated into the bone hole.

6. COMPARISON OF CHARACTERISTICS:

The existing Innovasive Devices ROC EZ Suture Bone Fastener is comprised of two polymer components, high density polyethylene and acetyl plastic. This device is used to secure a suture in a predrilled hole in bone. It remains fixed in the bone through radial compression as the device is deployed. This remains true for all sizes of the device.

The BioROC EZ device is comprised of L-PLA. As with the predicate device, the BioROC EZ uses an expander fitted on a shear pin which is drawn up into an expandable sleeve. The sleeve expands as the expander is drawn up into it. The shear pin then shears resulting in the device being fixed into the bone site.

7. PERFORMANCE DATA:

The following performance data was provided in support of the substantial equivalence determination:

    1. Bone Model Testing: Comparison of the ultimate holding strength in a bone model compared to the predicate device. The Innovasive BioROC EZ Suture Bone Fastener holding strength was found to be equivalent to the strength of the predicate device.
    1. Animal Testing: The testing demonstrated the efficacy of the Innovasive BioROC EZ Suture Bone Fastener and confirmed that the device functions adequately to meet its intended use.
