Intended Use
Innovasive Devices, Inc., ACL Clip-In Plate is indicated for use in the fixation of bonetendon-bone anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgeries.
Device Description
The ACL Clip-In Plate device is a two component implant used in the fixation of bonetendon-bone grafts in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgeries. The two device components are the Base and the Plate which are assembled together in the bone during the surgical procedure. The ACL Clip-In Plate device consists of an outer threaded Base which is designed to be endoscopically delivered through a prepared tibio-femoral tunnel and manually inserted into the antero-lateral femur using a hex driver. The proximal end of the Base has a flexible wire assembled to it. The Plate has two (proximal and distal) transverse spikes that are used to attach the bone end of the ligament graft on to it. The proximal end of the Plate has a circular groove equal to the diameter of the flexible wire in the Base. The flexible wire provides for a spring like property as the Plate passes through the Base. When the proximal end of the Plate engages with the flexible wire, it locks the Plate in place. With regard to implant size, the Base comes in a 10mm diameter. The Plate is size specific and can be used only with the specified Base.

No

The device is an implant used for fixation in ACL reconstruction surgeries, which is a structural support function rather than a therapeutic one that directly treats a disease or condition.

No

Explanation: The device is an implant used for fixation in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgeries, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical implant with two components (Base and Plate) made of materials, designed for surgical insertion and fixation in bone. This is a hardware medical 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 is for the "fixation of bone-tendon-bone anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgeries." This is a surgical procedure involving the physical repair of a ligament, not a diagnostic test performed on biological samples in vitro (outside the body).
  • Device Description: The device is an implant designed to be physically inserted into bone during surgery. It's a mechanical fixation device.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detect markers, or provide diagnostic information about a patient's health status.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. This device does not fit that description.

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

No performance standards exist at this time for the regulatory class under which the ACL Clip-In Plate is proposed for classification. However, in support of this submission, Innovasive Devices, Inc. has conducted the voluntary device testing in order to assess the effects of the new technological characteristics on the modes of failure of the device.

The effects of different materials on the modes of failure of the subject device were assessed in comparative testing with a selected predicate device.

The testing performed was:

  • Strength of implant-graft-host bone construct .
    a. Static
    b. Dynamic

Post-test evaluation included:

  • Host Bone- Implant Interface .
  • Graft Implant Interface .
  • Graft Incorporation .

With regard to testing, the subject device demonstrated equivalent or better performance compared to the selected predicate device in each of the three tests outlined above. With regard to post test evaluation, the subject device demonstrates equivalent or better performance compared to the selected predicate device in post dynamic test evaluations of the host bone-implant interface and the graft-implant interface. Provisions for graft incorporation are essentially identical between the subject and predicate devices, if not better due to the fact that bone-to-bone healing occurs faster than soft tissue-to- bone healing. Both the devices provide transverse support of the graft and all provide almost the same amount of graft-host bone surface area contact to facilitate graft incorporation.

Description 13

Technological Characteristics

The ACL Clip-In Plate device is a two component implant used in the fixation of bonetendon-bone grafts in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgeries. The two device components are the Base and the Plate which are assembled together in the bone during the surgical procedure.

The ACL Clip-In Plate device consists of an outer threaded Base which is designed to be endoscopically delivered through a prepared tibio-femoral tunnel and manually inserted into the antero-lateral femur using a hex driver. The proximal end of the Base has a flexible wire assembled to it.

The Plate has two (proximal and distal) transverse spikes that are used to attach the bone end of the ligament graft on to it. The proximal end of the Plate has a circular groove equal to the diameter of the flexible wire in the Base. The flexible wire provides for a spring like property as the Plate passes through the Base. When the proximal end of the Plate engages with the flexible wire, it locks the Plate in place.

With regard to implant size, the Base comes in a 10mm diameter. The Plate is size specific and can be used only with the specified Base.

15.1 Technological Characteristics

15.1.1 Similarities

  • (a) The ACL Clip-In Plate device shares very similar technological characteristics with the predicate device. Both devices have:
    ... . . . . . . .

And And Andrew States of Same of

    1. a bone fixation element, and
    1. a linkage element that connects the graft to the bone fixation element.

15.1.2 Differences

  • (a) The ACL Clip-In Plate uses different materials that the predicate device.
  • (b) The linkage element is suture material, either regular suture tape, such as Mersilene Tape (Ethicon, New Brunswick, NJ) which is looped through the bone fixation element and the bone end of the graft for the predicate device. For the subject device it is a Plate with transverse pins for attaching the bone end of the graft and a proximal pin which locks into the Base.

15.2 Rationale for Differences

  • (a) The subject device uses a well proven material which provides for greater strength and biocompatability.
  • (b) The predicate device does not provide for a straight forward method for actaching bonetendon ligaments (e.g.: bone-patellar tendon-bone ligaments) to its linkage element. It may be used with the bone-tendon grafts when used with either suture tape (which would be the weak link of the construct). The subject device provides for a means to attach the bone end of the graft by providing transverse pins that may be passed through pre-drilled holes in the bone plug.
  • (c) Another potential clinical advantage is afforded by the connection means between the bone fixation element and the linkage element. This connection provides an axial lock, but will allow for rotational movement. Thus, the surgeon can adjust graft position along the axis of the bone tunnel after the linkage element, with graft attached, is connected to the bone fixation element. This is accomplished by engaging the Clip-In removal tool on the distal end of the Plate and turning it to reposition the graft in a distal to inferior direction.
  • (c) A further potential clinical advantage is the ability to disengage the linkage element from the bone fixation element without damaging the linkage element or the graft by use of a simple This may be an advantage in the event that the surgeon may need to removal punch. reconfigure the linkage-graft construction. This removal tool engages the proximal end of the assembled bone fixation element and linkage element, and provides release with a rotationally directed compression force. Also provided is a implant removal tool, which helps unthread the assembly (Base + Plate) via the tibio-femoral tunnel.

16 Performance Data

No performance standards exist at this time for the regulatory class under which the ACL Clip-In Plate is proposed for classification. However, in support of this submission, Innovasive Devices, Inc. has conducted the voluntary device testing in order to assess the effects of the new technological characteristics on the modes of failure of the device.

The effects of different materials on the modes of failure of the subject device were assessed in comparative testing with a selected predicate device.

The testing performed was:

  • Strength of implant-graft-host bone construct .
    • a. Static
    • b. Dynamic

Post-test evaluation included:

  • Host Bone- Implant Interface .
  • Graft Implant Interface .
  • Graft Incorporation .

With regard to testing, the subject device demonstrated equivalent or better performance compared to the selected predicate device in each of the three tests outlined above. With regard to post test evaluation, the subject device demonstrates equivalent or better performance compared to the selected predicate device in post dynamic test evaluations of the host bone-implant interface and the graft-implant interface. Provisions for graft incorporation are essentially identical between the subject and predicate devices, if not better due to the fact that bone-to-bone healing occurs faster than soft tissue-to- bone healing. Both the devices provide transverse support of the graft and all provide almost the same amount of graft-host bone surface area contact to facilitate graft incorporation.

Conclusion 17

Based on the design concept, use of standard material, feature comparisons to a selected predicate device, the device and predicate device testing, Innovasive Devices, Inc. believes that sufficient evidence exists to conclude that the ACL Clip-In Plate Device is substantially equivalent to existing legally marketed endosteal fixation devices.
