B) All devices use a similar fixation technology to deliver the fasteners by compressing a trigger. C) Similar fastener strap design to the fasteners used with the SecureStrap predicate and similar non-absorbable polymer material as used in the PermaFix predicate. D) Similar technological characteristics to the predicate devices such as: trigger handle, penetration depth, spring load firing mechanism and shaft length. E) Same principle of operation. F) Similar materials. As demonstrated in the completed battery of preclinical tests that were conducted by the company minor technological differences between the FasTouch Fixation System and the predicate devices do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness. Any minor differences in technological characteristics have been tested and reported on in this notification and demonstrate that any differences do not adversely affect the safety, effectiveness, or intended performance of the device. Therefore, the FasTouch Fixation System is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate devices. Testing included laboratory bench testing, biocompatibility testing, animal testing, and clinical usability testing. ### 5.13 Performance Characteristics of the FasTouch Fixation System The FasTouch Fixation System underwent a full battery of bench testing, animal testing, and biocompatibility testing to demonstrate its safe and effective performance in fixation of prosthetic material (e.g., hernia mesh) to soft tissues. In addition, clinical usability testing was conducted. It was concluded that the device is safe and effective for its intended use. Tests were performed with variety of market-cleared mesh types and sizes using the FasTouch Fixation System. In addition, tests were done in comparison to the predicate devices.
