The AIR+ All-Inside Meniscal Repair Device is indicated for use in meniscal repairs and allograft transplant procedures in adolescents. The AIR+ All-Inside Meniscal Repair Device is intended to be used for anchoring the allograft to the meniscal rim during allograft transplant procedures. ## Device Story Suture retention device for arthroscopic soft tissue procedures; comprises two molded suture retention anchors pre-tied with #2-0 braided UHMWPE suture; pre-loaded on deployer; available in curved up and curved down configurations. Used by surgeons in clinical settings to anchor allograft to meniscal rim. Device facilitates meniscal repair and transplant; provides mechanical fixation for soft tissue. Single-use, sterile device. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data. Substantial equivalence supported by non-clinical benchtop testing previously performed on the predicate device; no new verification or validation activities required for the adolescent indication. ## Technological Characteristics Suture retention device; molded anchors; #2-0 braided UHMWPE suture; pre-loaded on deployer; curved up/down configurations; sterile; single-use. ## 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 - AIR+ All-Inside Meniscal Repair Device ([K153087](/device/K153087.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

DEVICE Name of Device: AIR+ All-Inside Meniscal Repair Device Common Name: Suture Retention Device Classification Name: Nonabsorbable poly(ethylene terephthalate) surgical suture (21 CFR §878.5000) Regulatory Class: II Product Code: GAT # III. PREDICATE DEVICE Device Name: AIR+ All-Inside Meniscal Repair Device Company Name: Stryker 510(k) Number: K153087 # IV. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this Special 510(k) submission is to obtain Food and Drug Administration (FDA) authorization to market modifications to the AIR+ All-Inside Meniscal Repair Device. Specifically, this submission proposes to introduce models of the AIR+ device for use in adolescents. # V. DEVICE DESCRIPTION The AIR+ All-Inside Meniscal Repair Device is a suture retention device comprised of two molded suture retention anchors pre-tied with #2-0 braided ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) suture. The suture-anchor construct is pre-loaded on a deployer. The device is offered in two configurations, including curved up and curved down, to provide options to surgeons for access to the desired zone of the meniscus. The AIR+ All-Inside Meniscal Repair Device is provided sterile for single use only. {1} K262369 Page 2/2 ## VI. INTENDED USE The AIR+ All-Inside Meniscal Repair Device is intended for use as a suture retention device to facilitate arthroscopic soft tissue procedures. The AIR+ All-Inside Meniscal Repair Device is indicated for use in meniscal repairs and allograft transplant procedures in adolescents. The AIR+ All-Inside Meniscal Repair Device is intended to be used for anchoring the allograft to the meniscal rim during allograft transplant procedures. ## VII. COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS WITH THE PREDICATE DEVICE The modified AIR+ All-Inside Meniscal Repair Device is identical to the predicate device in terms of intended use, operational principle, design, shelf life, sterilization, biocompatibility, and performance attributes. It is equivalent to the predicate device in terms of indications for use. The only difference between the modified device and predicate device is that the modified device is indicated for use in adolescents, and the predicate device is indicated for use in adults. The subject implants and instruments are compatible with adolescent knees, which are similar in size to adult knees and thus these differences are not critical to the surgical use of the device or intended therapeutic action when used as labeled. The difference between the modified AIR+ device and the predicate device does not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness, and these devices are substantially equivalent based on the criteria described in 21 CFR §807.100. ## VIII. PERFORMANCE DATA Non-clinical benchtop testing was previously performed on the predicate AIR+ All-Inside Meniscal Repair Device. For the proposed indications for use in adolescents, there were no new risks or significantly modified risks requiring new risk control measures, no design changes nor procedural modifications, and no new functional performance requirements. As such, new verification and/or validation activities were not required. Results from the device's previous verification testing activities remain applicable to demonstrate that the modified device meets all of the applicable requirements and specifications. ## IX. CONCLUSIONS The information presented within this Special premarket submission demonstrates that the modified AIR+ All-Inside Meniscal Repair Device for use in adolescents is substantially equivalent to the predicate device for use in adults, and will perform as safely and effectively within the intended use. {2} | Indications for Use | | | | --- | --- | --- | | Please type in the marketing application/submission number, if it is known.
