## Intended Use

RigidFix Biocryl Cross Pin Kits The RigidFix Biocryl 2.7 mm BTB Cross Pin Kit is intended femoral and/or tibial fixation of autograft or allograft ACL Bone-tendon-bone grafts. The RigidFix Biocryl Fcmoral 3.3 mm ST Cross Pin Kit is intended for femoral fixation of autograft or allograft ACL soft tissue grafts (semitendinosus and gracillis). The RigidFix Biocryl Tibial 3.3 mm ST Cross Pin Kit is intended for tibial fixation of autograft or allograft ACL soft tissue grafts (semitendinosus and gracillis). BioIntrafix Tibial Tapered Sheaths and Screws The BioIntrafix Tibial Screw and Tibial Sheath are intended for fixation of soft tissue grafts during cruciate ligament reconstruction. Biocryl Interference Screws The Biocryl Interference Screw is indicated for the fixation of soft tissue grafts gr bone-tendon-bone grafts during cruciate ligament reconstruction surgeries of the knee.

## Device Story

Absorbable orthopedic implants used for graft fixation in ACL reconstruction; includes cross pin kits, tibial tapered sheaths/screws, and interference screws. Implants manufactured from Biocryl (15% beta-TCP/85% PLA composite). Used by surgeons in clinical settings to secure grafts to femur or tibia. Implants are sterile, single-use; associated with reusable stainless steel instrumentation (guides, trocars, rods) for placement. Provides mechanical fixation of grafts to bone to facilitate healing. Submission supports 3-year shelf life based on 36-month stability study.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Substantial equivalence supported by identical indications, materials, and design to predicates, with performance and safety data previously established in predicate 510(k) submissions.

## Technological Characteristics

Absorbable implants composed of 15% beta-tricalcium phosphate (beta-TCP) and 85% polylactic acid (PLA) polymer. Includes cannulated, threaded fasteners and cross pins. Reusable instrumentation (guides, trocars) made of stainless steel. Sterile, single-patient use implants; non-sterile, reusable instruments. No software or electronic components.

## Regulatory Identification

Single/multiple component metallic bone fixation appliances and accessories are devices intended to be implanted consisting of one or more metallic components and their metallic fasteners. The devices contain a plate, a nail/plate combination, or a blade/plate combination that are made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, stainless steel, and titanium, that are intended to be held in position with fasteners, such as screws and nails, or bolts, nuts, and washers. These devices are used for fixation of fractures of the proximal or distal end of long bones, such as intracapsular, intertrochanteric, intercervical, supracondylar, or condylar fractures of the femur; for fusion of a joint; or for surgical procedures that involve cutting a bone. The devices may be implanted or attached through the skin so that a pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system.

between the proposed products and their respective predicates. Therefore, additional safety and performance testing on the proposed products are not necessary.

Results of performance and safety testing have been submitted in the predicate 510(k)'s (i.e. K090669 for RigidFix Biocryl Cross Pin Kits, K032167 for BioIntrafix Tibial Sheaths and Screws, and K013572 for Biocryl Interference Screws) and have demonstrated that the devices are suitable for their intended use.

Based on the identical indications for use and technological characteristics as compared to the predicate devices, the proposed RigidFix Biocryl Cross Pin Kits, BioIntrafix Tibial Sheaths and Screws, and Biocryl Interference Screws have shown to be substantially equivalent to their respective predicate devices under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act.

### Dear Ms. Liu

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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
