Indications for Use

The CrossFix® II Meniscal Repair Device is intended for approximation of soft tissue in meniscal repair procedures.

Device Story

CrossFix II is a sterile, hand-held, manually operated, single-procedure suture placement system. Used by surgeons in meniscal repair procedures to approximate soft tissue. Device functions via mechanical deployment of suture material. Surgeon manually operates handle to insert, deploy, and remove system. Output is the placement of suture for tissue approximation, facilitating healing. Benefits include minimally invasive soft tissue repair.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Performance validated in simulated use environment. Verification tests included suture knot pull-out force, suture tensile strength, suture diameter, and handle deployment force.

Technological Characteristics

Hand-held, manually operated, single-procedure suture placement system. Materials include polymers and metallic components equivalent to predicate devices. Sterile, non-absorbable synthetic polyethylene suture. No software or electronic components.

Indications for Use

Indicated for approximation of soft tissue in meniscal repair procedures.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

Nonabsorbable poly(ethylene terephthalate) surgical suture is a multifilament, nonabsorbable, sterile, flexible thread prepared from fibers of high molecular weight, long-chain, linear polyesters having recurrent aromatic rings as an integral component and is indicated for use in soft tissue approximation. The poly(ethylene terephthalate) surgical suture meets U.S.P. requirements as described in the U.S.P. Monograph for Nonabsorbable Surgical Sutures; it may be provided uncoated or coated; and it may be undyed or dyed with an appropriate FDA listed color additive. Also, the suture may be provided with or without a standard needle attached.

Special Controls

*Classification.* Class II (special controls). The special control for this device is FDA's “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Surgical Sutures; Guidance for Industry and FDA.” See § 878.1(e) for the availability of this guidance document.

## DEVICE DESCRIPTION

The CrossFix® II Meniscal Repair device is a sterile hand-held, manually operated, single procedure suture placement system for meniscus soft tissue approximation procedures.

## SUMMARY OF PERFORMANCE TESTS

Product performance test was conducted in a simulated use environment. Device insertion, deployment, and removal were validated.

Bench testing was conducted and showed that the implantable suture meets all predetermined acceptance criteria. These verification tests included suture knot pull out force, suture tensile strength, suture diameter, and handle deployment force.

## EQUIVALENCE TO MARKETED PRODUCT

The CrossFix® II Meniscal Repair device has the following similarities to the unmodified predicate devices:

- · has the same intended use,
- uses the same operating principle, .
- incorporates the same basic design, .
- · incorporates the same polymer materials,
- · incorporates equivalent metallic materials, and
- · is packaged using the same materials and processes.

In summary, the CrossFix® II Meniscal Repair device described in this submission is, in our opinion, substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.

Dear Kereshmeh Shahriari:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you; however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
