It features a threaded design with an external squared-drive; lengths range from 20-35mm; diameters range from 7-12mm. Used by trained medical professionals in arthroscopic or open ACL/PCL reconstruction procedures to provide interference fixation for bone-tendon-bone grafts. The device is manufactured using the BioCleanse® process, which provides viral inactivation. It is intended to remodel comparably to allograft bone. ## Clinical Evidence No human clinical data provided. Evidence includes animal model studies demonstrating comparable remodeling to allograft and a viral inactivation study using the BioCleanse® process, which demonstrated a greater than six log reduction of a panel of viruses. ## Technological Characteristics Constructed from processed bovine cortical bone sourced from a closed U.S. herd. Threaded design with external squared-drive. Dimensions: 20-35mm length, 7-12mm diameter. Sterilized via BioCleanse® process. ## Regulatory 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. ## Predicate Devices - STERLING® Interference Screw ST ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

The STERLING® Interference Screw HT is threaded and has an external squared-drive. Intended Use: The STERLING® Interference Screw HT is intended for use in an arthroscopic or open ACL and/or PCL reconstruction by a trained medical professional. ### Summary of Technological Characteristics: The STERLING® Interference Screw HT and the STERLING® Interference Screw ST have equivalent materials, design and function. The STERLING® Interference Screw HT is constructed of bovine bone and is equivalent in materials to another 510(k)-cleared product, the STERLING® Interference Screw ST. The source of bovine bone used in the manufacture of STERLING® Interference Screw HT is a closed herd located in the U.S.A. {1}------------------------------------------------ pqk-2 of 2 The STERLING® Interference Screw HT has been shown to remodel comparably to allograft in an animal model. A viral inactivation study using a worstory to representation of the BioCleanse® process, used in the manifacture of STERLING® Interference Screw HT, has shown greater than a six log reduction of a panel of viruses to below detectable limits. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image is a black and white logo for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
