Intended Use

Reprocessed Arthroscopic Shavers are intended for resecting tissue and bone found in articular body cavities during orthopedic, maxillofacial, hand, foot and plastic surgery in patients requiring arthroscopic or orthopedic surgery.

Device Story

Reprocessed arthroscopic shavers consist of a burr or blade at the end of a long rod rotating within a hollow stainless steel housing. The housing features a distal window allowing the burr to cut tissue while protecting adjacent structures. The device attaches to a motorized handpiece that drives the internal blade and provides suction to remove cut tissue from the surgical site. Used by surgeons in orthopedic, maxillofacial, hand, foot, and plastic surgeries to abrade, cut, and excise tissue and bone, or remove loose fragments. The device is reprocessed by Alliance Medical Corporation to restore functionality equivalent to the original manufacturer's device.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Testing included biocompatibility validation and functional performance testing to demonstrate that the reprocessed arthroscopic shavers perform as originally intended.

Technological Characteristics

Stainless steel housing with internal rotating burr or blade. Mechanical operation via motorized handpiece. Suction-assisted tissue removal. Design, materials, and dimensions are identical to predicate devices.

Indications for Use

Indicated for use in orthopedic surgical procedures of the joints, jaw or sinuses where the cutting and removal of soft and hard tissue or bone is needed in patients requiring orthopedic surgery.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

An arthroscope is an electrically powered endoscope intended to make visible the interior of a joint. The arthroscope and accessories also is intended to perform surgery within a joint.
