The clearances below are held by Xive at brand level and cover its implant range, not Xive specifically. We show them here because that is the level at which regulators actually issue them.
Regulatory record
Read this before drawing conclusions. A clearance or certificate means a device may legally be sold in a market. It is not a finding that the implant performs well, and it is not a comparison against other implants. In particular, FDA "clearance" is not FDA "approval" — clearance means the FDA accepted the device as substantially equivalent to one already on the market. What these actually mean →
FDA 510(k) clearance2 records
Cleared as substantially equivalent to a predicate device. Not an FDA approval, and not a finding of safety or effectiveness.
Clearance records for Xive were retrieved from the issuing authority's own database, not from the manufacturer's marketing material. We attribute a clearance to a brand only when the filing holder belongs to that brand's corporate family — third-party clearances for compatible components are excluded, because they belong to the company that made the component, not to Xive.
