Intended Use

The SECURE-LOOP fixation device is used for fixation of tendons and ligaments during orthopaedic reconstruction procedures such as anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction.

Device Story

SECURE-LOOP is an orthopedic fixation device consisting of a polyester continuous loop attached to a titanium alloy button. Used during arthroscopic ligament reconstruction (e.g., ACL repair). The button is positioned on the bone cortex at the exit of a bone tunnel, suspending the loop within the tunnel to secure the graft. Surgeons use integrated sutures to pull the graft assembly into position and flip the button to lock it against the bone. The device provides mechanical fixation for soft tissue to bone. It is intended for use by orthopedic surgeons in a clinical/OR setting.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Substantial equivalence is supported by bench testing, including stiffness, tensile strength, and cyclic fatigue testing compared to the predicate device.

Technological Characteristics

Materials: Polyester continuous loop, titanium alloy button. Principle: Mechanical bone fixation fastener. Form factor: Button and loop assembly. Sterilization: Not specified. Connectivity: None. Software: None.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients undergoing orthopedic reconstruction procedures, such as ACL reconstruction, requiring fixation of tendons and ligaments.

Regulatory Classification

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.

Dear Mr. Seed:

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.
