Frequently asked questions

What types of procedures are the Crafon Arthroscopy Lines intended to assist with during arthroscopy?

The Crafon Arthroscopy Lines are designed to help visualize and manipulate internal joint structures during arthroscopic procedures. They support both diagnostic evaluations and surgical interventions in orthopedic applications, such as knee, shoulder, or other joint surgeries where internal visualization is required.

Are the Crafon Arthroscopy Lines available in single-use or reusable options, and how should they be handled?

The Crafon Arthroscopy Lines are supplied as either single-use or reusable accessories for arthroscopic systems. Since they are intended for sterile environments, reusable versions must be properly cleaned, sterilized, and maintained according to manufacturer guidelines to ensure safety and functionality.

How were these devices cleared by the FDA, and what does that mean for their regulatory status?

The Crafon Arthroscopy Lines were cleared via the Traditional 510(k) pathway in 1983 under product code HRX, with a decision of 'Substantially Equivalent' to a predicate device. This means the FDA determined they meet the same regulatory requirements as a previously approved orthopedic arthroscopy accessory, classifying them as a Class 2 device.

What does the advisory committee classification of 'Orthopedic' indicate about these devices?

The advisory committee classification of 'Orthopedic' (OR) reflects that these devices were reviewed by the Orthopedic Devices Panel, which specializes in evaluating arthroscopic and joint-related instruments. This classification does not describe their clinical use but rather how their submission was processed by the FDA.
