Device functions via intra-tunnel compression of graft; used in combination with BIOSURE PK Screws (25 mm length). Provided sterile for single-use; intended for surgical environment. Fixation properties provide mechanical stability for ligament reconstruction. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Performance testing demonstrated that insertion and fixation properties are substantially equivalent to predicate devices. ## Technological Characteristics Polymer implant; intra-tunnel fixation; non-absorbable material; single-use; sterile. ## 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 - Smith & Nephew BIOSURE PK Screw ([K083635](/device/K083635.md)) - Smith & Nephew GTS Sleeve ([K040542](/device/K040542.md)) - DePuy Mitek Intrafix ([K983560](/device/K983560.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

per 21 CFR §888.3040 | #### Predicate Devices D. The Smith & Nephew BIOSURE SYNC Tibial Fixation Device is substantially equivalent in Intended Use and Fundamental Scientific Technology to the following legally marketed devices in commercial distribution: Smith & Nephew BIOSURE® PK Screw (K083635), Smith & Nephew GTS Sleeve (K040542) and the DePuy Mitek Intrafix (K983560). {1}------------------------------------------------ #### E. Description of Device The Smith & Nephew BIOSURE SYNC Tibial Fixation Device is an intra-tunnel device used to secure soft tissue grafts to bone during cruciate ligament reconstruction procedures. The fixation device is a polymer implant for use with BIOSURE PK Screws (25 mm length). The device is provided sterile, for single use only. #### Intended Use F. The Smith & Nephew BIOSURE SYNC Tibial Fixation Device is indicated for use in combination with BIOSURE PK Screws for fixation of soft tissue to bone during cruciate ligament reconstruction. ## G. Comparison of Technological Characteristics The proposed Smith & Nephew BIOSURE SYNC Tibial Fixation Device and the predicate devices have the same intended use and basic fundamental scientific technology. The proposed device and the predicate devices are intended to fixate soft tissue grafts to bone by intra-tunnel compression of the graft. The proposed and predicate devices are manufactured of non-absorbable material, and performance testing demonstrates that the proposed devices are as safe and as effective as currently marketed predicate devices. #### H. Summary Performance Data Performance testing demonstrates that the insertion and fixation properties of the Smith & Nephew BIOSURE SYNC Tibial Fixation Device are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices. Based on the indications for use, the technological characteristics, and comparison to predicate devices, the BIOSURE SYNC Tibial Fixation Device has been demonstrated to be substantially equivalent to predicate devices. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/0 description: The image is a black and white logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
