The inner blade rotation is driven by a motor. Arthroscopy blades and burs are indicated for resection of tissue within joint spaces under arthroscopic control. AMI intends to reprocess arthroscopy blades and burs. Reprocessing includes all the steps performed to make a contaminated single use device patient ready. Only dispossible, non angled arthroscopy blades and burs manufactured by Dyonics and Stryker, that are currently sold on the market (which have met premarket requirements by the original manufacturer for single use) will be reprocessed by AMI. ## Device Story Device consists of reprocessed, previously disposable arthroscopic blades and burs originally manufactured by Stryker or Dyonics. Reprocessing involves cleaning and sterilization per AMI protocol 40006 to render contaminated single-use devices patient-ready. Blades/burs are used in arthroscopic surgery for tissue resection within joint spaces. Operated by surgeons in clinical settings; device attaches to a motor to drive inner blade rotation. Reprocessing ensures devices maintain physical characteristics and safety equivalent to original new devices. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is based on bench testing demonstrating that the devices withstand the cleaning and sterilization process and maintain physical integrity and safety. ## Technological Characteristics Mechanical arthroscopic blades and burs; composed of same materials as original Stryker and Dyonics devices. Powered by external surgical motor. Reprocessed via cleaning and sterilization protocol 40006. ## Regulatory Identification Surgical instrument motors and accessories are AC-powered, battery-powered, or air-powered devices intended for use during surgical procedures to provide power to operate various accessories or attachments to cut hard tissue or bone and soft tissue. Accessories or attachments may include a bur, chisel (osteotome), dermabrasion brush, dermatome, drill bit, hammerhead, pin driver, and saw blade. ## Predicate Devices - Smith & Nephew Dyonics disposable arthroscopic blades/burs ([K953695](/device/K953695.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Reprocessing Stryker and Dyonics Disposable Arthroscopic Blades/Burs is performed by AMI to AMI protocol Number 40006. "Reprocessed," means all operations performed to render a contaminated single-use device patient ready (Enforcement Priorities for Single-Use Devices Reprocessed by Third Party Reprocessors and Hospitals). AMI believes that reprocessed single-use Stryker and Dyonics Arthroscopic Blades/Burs can be considered "reusable" as defined in the Food and Drug Administration Compliance Policy Guide #7124.16: they are able to withstand the necessary cleaning and sterilization process, the physical characteristics or quality of the device will not be adversely effected, and the device remains safe and effective for its intended use. AMI Reprocessed Stryker and Dyonics Disposable Arthroscopic Blades/Bursare single use sugery blades for resection of tissue within joint spaces under arthoscopic control. AMI Reprocessed Stryker and Dyonics Disposable Arthroscopic Blades/Burs are composed of the same materials as currently marketed hand-manipulated Stryker and Dyonics Disposable Arthroscopic Blades/Burs sold new. AMI Reprocessed Stryker and Dyonics Disposable Arthroscopic Blades/Burs are substantially equivalent to disposable arthroscopic blades/burs marketed by Smith & Nephew Dyonics under 510(k) Number K953695. AMI claims that Reprocessed Stryker and Dyonics Disposable Arthroscopic Blades/Burs are able to withstand the necessary cleaning and sterilization process, the physical characteristics or quality of the device will not be adversely effected, and the device remains safe and effective for its intended use. {1}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/1/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
