Intended Use
The 10mm Ligament Fasteners are intended for use in the fixation of ligament and tendon bone block grafts in cruciate ligament reconstruction surgeries of the knee.
Device Description
The Innovasive 10mm Ligament Fastener utilizes a central pin placed inside an outer sleeve resulting in the expansion of the outer sleeve and the ultimate fixation of the device into bone. The Innovasive Devices 10mm Ligament Fastener will be offered in a single size, 10mm outside diameter and 20mm long. The outer sleeve has threads on its exterior to hold to the bone and a central ID designed to accept the pin component. The central pin has ribs along its length designed to expand the outer sleeve as it is placed down the sleeve inside diameter. In addition, the central pin incorporates a "side-plate" with two transverse pegs to hold a bone plug for bone-patella-bone fixation of the soft tissue graft. The front of the pin has a through-hole to accept a piece of suture to guide the pin into the sleeve during the deployment of the device. The suture is then removed and discarded.

No
The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical properties and fixation, with no mention of AI or ML.

No.
This device is an orthopedic fastener used for fixation of grafts in ligament and tendon repair, which is a supportive function rather than a therapeutic one that directly treats a disease or condition.

No

The device description indicates it is a surgical fastener used for fixing ligaments and tendons in knee reconstruction, not for diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly details a physical implantable device (ligament fastener) made of hardware components (pin, sleeve, side-plate, pegs). There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component of the device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The description clearly states that this device is a surgical implant used for the fixation of ligament and tendon bone block grafts during cruciate ligament reconstruction surgeries of the knee. This is a procedure performed directly on the patient's body, not on specimens taken from the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples.
    • Providing diagnostic information based on laboratory tests.
    • Using reagents or assays.

This device is a surgical implant/instrument used in a surgical procedure.

§ 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.

Innovasive 10mm Ligament Fastener Classification Name: Single/multiple component bone fixation appliances and accessories. Trade Name: innovasive Devices 10mm Ligament Fastener

3. PREDICATE DEVICE:

The predicate devices used to determine substantial equivalence for the Innovasive Devices 10mm Ligament Fastener were (1) the 8mm Innovasive Devices Ligament Fastener marketed by Innovasive Devices, Marlborough, MA, and (2) the Mitek Ligament Anchor marketed by Mitek Surgical, Norwood, MA.

4. DEVICE DESCRIPTION:

The Innovasive 10mm Ligament Fastener utilizes a central pin placed inside an outer sleeve resulting in the expansion of the outer sleeve and the ultimate fixation of the device into bone. The Innovasive Devices 10mm Ligament Fastener will be offered in a single size, 10mm outside diameter and 20mm long.

The outer sleeve has threads on its exterior to hold to the bone and a central ID designed to accept the pin component.

The central pin has ribs along its length designed to expand the outer sleeve as it is placed down the sleeve inside diameter. In addition, the central pin incorporates a "side-plate" with two transverse pegs to hold a bone plug for bone-patella-bone fixation of the soft tissue graft. The front of the pin has a through-hole to accept a piece of suture to guide the pin into the sleeve during the deployment of the device. The suture is then removed and discarded.

5. INTENDED USE:

The 10mm Ligament Fasteners are intended for use in the fixation of ligament and tendon bone block grafts in cruciate ligament reconstruction surgeries of the knee.

6. COMPARISON OF CHARACTERISTICS:

The Innovasive 10mm Ligament Fastener utilizes the same basic design for fixation into bone as the currently marketed 8mm Ligament Fastener (K970316). This design utilizes a central pin placed inside an outer sleeve resulting in the expansion of the outer sleeve and the ultimate fixation of the device into bone.

The outer sleeve is identical for both the 8mm and 10mm Ligament Fasteners. However, the central pin for the existing 8mm Ligament Fastener has a radius at the eyelet designed for direct fixation of the soft tissue graft; whereas the central pin for the proposed 10mm Ligament Fastener incorporates a "side-plate" with two transverse pegs to hold a bone plug for bone-patella-bone fixation of the soft tissue graft.

7. PERFORMANCE DATA:

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

    1. Mechanical Testing: Comparison of the ultimate holding strength in a bone model compared to the predicate device. The Innovasive 10mm Ligament Fastener holding strength was found to be equivalent to the strength of the predicate device.
