Indications for Use
The CC-Clip® device is intended as an adjunct in coracoclavicular ligament disruption repair. Specifically, the CC-Clip® device is intended to provide fixation during the healing process following a syndesmotic trauma, such as fixation of acromioclavicular separations due to coracoclavicular ligament disruptions.
Device Story
CC-Clip® is an implantable system for arthroscopic coracoclavicular (CC) and acromioclavicular (AC) ligament reconstruction. The system comprises a titanium implant for the clavicle, a titanium counterpart for the coracoid, and non-resorbable suture (e.g., Arthrex #5 FiberWire) connecting them. The device is used by surgeons in an OR setting to provide fixation during the healing process following AC joint separation, which causes superior and posterior clavicle translation. The system includes reusable surgical instruments (Straight and Curved Lasso guides) and requires user-supplied general instrumentation (lasso wire, guide pins, drill bits). The implants are single-use and sterile; instruments are non-sterile and require steam sterilization. The surgeon uses the device to secure the clavicle to the coracoid, restoring joint stability and facilitating ligament healing.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data was conducted. Substantial equivalence is supported by non-clinical bench testing, including static (ultimate load) and dynamic mechanical testing, which met all performance requirements and acceptance criteria.
Technological Characteristics
Implants: Titanium alloy (ASTM F136). Instruments: Stainless steel. System includes two titanium buttons and non-resorbable suture. Implants are single-use, gamma-sterilized. Instruments are reusable, steam-sterilized. Dimensions: Clavicle clips (16mm, 20mm); Coracoid clips (10mm, 12mm round/rectangular).
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring fixation during healing of syndesmotic trauma, specifically acromioclavicular separations due to coracoclavicular ligament disruptions.
Regulatory Classification
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.

#### Device Description:
CC-Clip® is an implantable device for an arthroscopic coracoclavicular (CC) ligament reconstruction and acromioclavicular (AC) ligament reconstruction technique. The original ligaments fail due to an AC joint separation and cause superior and posterior translation of the clavicle.
CC-Clip® device consists of a titanium implant on the clavicle, a titanium counterpart under the coracoid, and non-resorbable suture between the implants. A USP size 5 suture is not provided with CC-Clip®, but the Arthrex #5 FiberWire is recommended with the CC-Clip® device.
Instrumentation included with the CC-Clip® system includes two instruments: the CC-Clip® Straight Lasso guide and CC-Clip® Curved Lasso guide. Additional general-use, readily available instrumentation required for the CC-Clip® procedure includes lasso wire, guide pins, and drill bits which are to be supplied by the end user per the surgical technique. Both CC-Clip® guides are re-usable surgical instruments provided non-sterile to the user. The CC-Clip® implants are supplied sterile to the user and are single use.
#### Indications for Use:
The CC-Clip® device is intended as an adjunct in coracoclavicular ligament disruption repair.

## 510(k) Submission – CC-Clip® Implant System
#### Conclusion:
The CC-Clip® Implant System is as safe and effective as its predicate device, as it has the same intended use, indication for use, material composition, design features, manufacturing method, sterilization method, performance requirements and principles of operation as the primary predicate device (K052776). The design differences do not alter the intended use of the device and do not affect its safety and effectiveness when used as labeled. Non-clinical testing demonstrates that the CC-Clip® Implant System is substantially equivalent to the primary predicate device.

Part 1 — Search, results, and everyday workflows 16 min
Part 2 — Embeddings: the galaxy map 3 min
1. Search: exact and fuzzy
Type a phrase like "coronary artery calcification" into the search box. You get two kinds of results. Exact results match the literal phrase — prefix searches work ("coronary artery calcificati") but suffix searches do not. Fuzzy results match on the meaning and intent of your phrase rather than the exact words, and are sorted by relevance score. Hover over the Exact or Fuzzy badge on any row to see exactly why it matched.
Use the checkboxes above the results to narrow: SaMD keeps only software-only devices, AI / ML keeps only devices with AI.
Exact vs. fuzzy search: what's the difference?
Exact matches on the literal phrase (prefix search works, suffix does not). Fuzzy matches on the meaning and intent of the phrase rather than the exact words. Hover over the badge on any row to see why it matched.
You search "coronary artery calcification" and want only software devices with AI. What two filters do you apply?
Narrow by SaMD (software-only devices), then narrow by AI/ML (devices with AI).
2. The results table
Scroll right in the results table. The intended use is extracted for you — no need to open the PDF. The device story gives a high-level snapshot of what the device does and how it's used. The AI Performance sub-table shows each output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, and development/test dataset descriptions — the same format Innolitics uses for regulatory strategy outputs, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. It is AI-generated but has been very reliable in practice.
Where do you find a device's intended use without opening the PDF?
Scroll right in the search results table. The intended use column is extracted for you; no need to dig into the 510(k) summary PDF.
What does the AI Performance sub-table show, and why is it useful?
Output name, acceptance criteria, observed values, development dataset description, and test dataset description. It's the same format we use for regulatory strategy output and Fast 510(k) input, and the fastest high-level fingerprint of an AI device. AI-generated but reliable in practice.
3. Judging fuzzy relevance
Fuzzy results trail off in relevance as you scroll. Use three signals to decide how far down to go: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether your target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, you're past the relevant zone. A top hit with a low score (~0.4) and a stretched explanation is a hint the closest predicates are far away — the project may be headed for De Novo. Note the fuzzy search is a pattern match: it doesn't handle negation ("not") well, and hardware devices can appear — filter by SaMD/AI ML to cut them.
How do you judge how far down fuzzy search results to go?
Use the relevancy signals: the fuzzy badge explanations, the intended use column, and whether the target output (e.g., Cobb angle) still appears in the AI Performance sub-table. Once it stops appearing, results are trailing off in relevancy.
4. Device detail page: chat and citations
Click a device name to open its detail page: device facts on the left, a chat window on the right. Ask something like "Describe the training data". The answer carries little citation bubbles — click one to jump to the highlighted passage in the source PDF, so you can verify every AI answer against the document. There's also a Download PDF button for sharing.
How do you verify an AI chat answer on the device detail page?
Click the citation bubbles to jump to the relevant highlight in the source document.
Reading rule for every project: how many summaries do you read in full?
At least the three most relevant 510(k) or De Novo summaries, in full. After that, use targeted chat questions to confirm your memory quickly. The tool supports this professional habit — it doesn't replace it.
5. Side-by-side comparison
Select multiple rows in the results table (aim for under ~10), then open the PDF Viewer tab. Ask one question — it goes to all selected devices in parallel, each with citations. This is the fastest way to compare and contrast devices: training data, PCCP scope, how they handled adding new scanners, and so on.
What does the side-by-side PDF viewer mode do?
Select multiple devices, open the PDF viewer tab, and ask one question (e.g., "Describe the training data"). It queries all selected devices simultaneously with citations, so you can compare and contrast quickly.
6. Collections
With rows selected, go to the Collections tab and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). Reload that selection any time — before a client call, pull up the collection and ask questions across all of its devices at once.
How do you save a set of selected devices for later use?
Select the rows, go to the Collections tab, and create a labeled collection (e.g., "Cobb Angle Project"). You can reload the selection anytime and carry it into the PDF viewer and other tabs that support selections.
7. Product codes and the regulations tree
Click a product code in the results to jump to it in the regulations tree — identification text, sibling product codes, and devices you can open in a PDF viewer on the right. Click a regulation number to see its identification, special controls, and related product codes. You can also search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree. Always read the special controls if any exist for your device — it broadens your search and sharpens pre-kickoff research.
What can you do from the regulations tree view?
Browse product codes and regulation numbers, read the identification text and special controls, browse sibling product codes, open device PDFs on the right, and search by product code or regulation number at the top of the tree.
8. Chart view
Click Show Chart and segment by regulation number (or product code) to see which regulations dominate your result set. Clicking a regulation takes you into the regulations tree. Great for spotting that most matches are, say, hardware laparoscopic devices — a cue to go back and filter.
How do you see which regulations dominate a search result set?
Click "Show Chart" and segment by Regulation Number. Clicking a regulation takes you to the regulations tree.
9. The predicate graph
Open the Predicates tab for a family-tree view of predicate relationships. Click a node to trace its parents and children; selections from search carry over pre-selected. Commonly predicated devices are worth reading — a lot of people predicated them for a reason. The visual lineage is also handy on client calls, e.g. to show how a predicate family evolved and justify why your predicate still holds.
In the predicate graph, why are commonly predicated devices worth reading?
A lot of people predicated them for a reason. Clicking a node traces parents and children, and selections from search carry over pre-selected.
10. Embeddings: the galaxy map
The Embeddings tab plots every matching document in a 2-D "galaxy map" where semantically similar devices cluster together. Hover or click clusters to explore, and let AI label the clusters for you. Embeddings beat product codes for grouping: two devices can carry different product codes (LLZ vs. QIH) yet do the same thing — the embedding captures the meaning of the intended use and device story.
