The BioBrace® Extra-Articular Ligament Augmentation Kit is intended to reattach soft tissue to bone and reinforce soft tissue where weakness exists in extra-articular knee ligament surgical procedures.

The Argo Knotless® GENESYS™ Anchor may be used in either arthroscopic or open surgical procedures. After the suture is anchored to the bone, it may be used to reattach soft tissue, such as ligaments, tendons, or joint capsules to the bone. The suture anchor system thereby stabilizes the damaged soft tissue, in conjunction with appropriate postoperative immobilization, throughout the healing period.

The BioBrace® Reinforced BioInductive Implant is intended for reinforcement of soft tissues that are repaired by suture or suture anchors during knee repair surgery including reinforcement of patellar ligament, medial collateral ligament, lateral collateral ligament or other knee extra-articular ligaments. It is not intended to replace normal body structures or provide the full mechanical strength to the repair. Sutures used to repair the tear, and sutures or bone anchors used to attach the tissue to bone, provide mechanical strength for the tendon repair.

The BioBrace® Extra-Articular Ligament Augmentation Kit is a single-use augmentation procedure kit for use in general surgical procedures for BioBrace® Reinforced BioInductive Implant ("BioBrace® implant") reinforcement of soft tissue where weakness exists, specifically in the extra-articular knee ligaments.

The kit is comprised of bioabsorbable implants and instrumentation. The kit includes one (1) tapered BioBrace Implant 5x250mm, which is threaded through the anchor eyelet.

Kit components are assembled in a single PETG tray and retainer then sealed in a Tyvek pouch. The BioBrace® Extra-Articular Ligament Augmentation Kit is supplied sterile (ETO).

Argo Knotless® GENESYS™ Anchor: The Non-Self-Punching Argo Knotless® GENESYS™ Anchor is an implantable bone anchor, that is supplied single use, sterilized via ethylene oxide (ETO) to a SAL of 10-6. The anchor configuration requires a pre-prepared bone hole. The threaded anchor is manufactured of bioabsorbable material, and the suture eyelet is manufactured of PEEK material. Each size features a single use driver, a threaded anchor, a PEEK suture eyelet, a #2 UHMWPE, non-absorbable retention suture, and loader tab. The retention suture holds the PEEK eyelet in place on the driver and can be incorporated into the repair if desired. The suture eyelet can hold up to six (6) sutures. These anchor configurations require a pre-prepared bone hole which can be created with Class I, Exempt instrumentation.

BioBrace® is intended for use in surgical procedures for reinforcement of soft tissue where weakness exists.

BioBrace® is also intended for reinforcement of soft tissues that are repaired by suture or other fixation devices during tendon and ligament repair surgery including reinforcement of rotator cuff, patellar, Achilles, biceps, quadriceps tendon, medial collateral ligament, lateral collateral ligament, spring ligament, deltoid ligament, ulnar collateral ligament or other tendons or extra-articular ligaments. BioBrace® is not intended to replace normal body structure or provide the full mechanical strength to support the rotator cuff, patellar, Achilles, biceps, quadriceps tendon, medial collateral ligament, lateral collateral ligament, spring ligament, deltoid ligament, ulnar collateral ligament or other tendons or extra-articular ligaments. Sutures, used to repair the tear, and sutures or other fixation devices, used to attach the tissue to the bone, provide mechanical strength for the repair.

BioBrace® is intended for use in surgical procedures for reinforcement of soft tissue where weakness exists. BioBrace® is also intended for reinforcement of soft tissues that are repaired by suture or other fixation devices during tendon and ligament repair surgery including reinforcement of rotator cuff, patellar, Achilles, biceps, quadriceps tendon, medial collateral ligament, lateral collateral ligament, spring ligament, deltoid ligament, ulnar collateral ligament or other tendons or extraarticular ligaments. BioBrace® is not intended to replace normal body structure or provide the full mechanical strength to support the rotator cuff, patellar, Achilles, biceps, quadriceps tendon, medial collateral ligament, lateral collateral ligament, soring ligament, deltoid ligament, ulnar collateral ligament or other tendons or extra-articular ligaments. Sutures, used to repair the tear, and sutures or other fixation devices, used to attach the tissue to the bone, provide mechanical strength for the repair.

The BioBrace® implant is a bioresorbable and bioinductive scaffold composed of a highly-porous collagen sponge made from insoluble bovine tendon type-1 collagen, and reinforced with poly- L-lactic-acid (PLLA) multifilament yarn (75 denier, 15 micron filament diameter). The BioBrace implant is 80% porous, average density of 0.2 grams/cm3, and median pore diameter of 19 microns. The highly porous collagen sponge comprises the majority of implant surface area (0.7 m2/gram) versus the PLA filaments alone (0.2 m2/gram), creating a large biologic matrix for cellular ingrowth, tissue regeneration, and healing. BioBrace implants are approximately 3 mm thick, provided in multiple sizes, and provide for soft tissue and tendon augment, and clinically relevant strengthening of the surgical repair. The BioBrace implant is single-use and supplied sterile with SAL of 10-6.

This document is a 510(k) Summary for the BioBrace® surgical mesh. It details the device, its intended use, and comparative studies for substantial equivalence. However, it does NOT contain the specific information required to answer your prompt about acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets those criteria.

The 510(k) summary focuses on demonstrating "substantial equivalence" to predicate devices, rather than establishing specific performance acceptance criteria for a new, AI-based device and then proving them. The prompt asks about an AI/algorithm-based device and its performance metrics, such as sensitivity, specificity, or reader improvement. This document describes a surgical mesh, which is a physical implant, not an AI or software device.

Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information based on this document. The document primarily discusses:

• Device Description: Bioresorbable and bioinductive scaffold made of collagen and PLLA yarn.
• Intended Use/Indications for Use: Reinforcement of soft tissue, particularly in tendon and ligament repair, including expansion to extra-articular ligaments.
• Technological Comparison: Emphasizes that the subject device is identical to the primary predicate (K203267) in design, materials, manufacturing, and sterilization, with new sizes and expanded indications for use being the primary changes.
• Non-Clinical and/or Clinical Tests Summary & Conclusions: Mentions cadaver-based studies, an in-vivo study in sheep, and literature reviews to support the expanded indications and performance characteristics like bioinductivity, strengthening, and stiffness.

There are no details related to an AI/algorithm device, its acceptance criteria (like sensitivity, specificity, AUC), test set characteristics (sample size, data provenance), ground truth establishment by experts, or MRMC studies, as would be expected for an AI device submission.
