Intended Use

The SpiraLok Anchor is intended for: Shoulder: Rotor Cuff Repair, Biceps Tenodesis, Acromio-Clavicular Separation Repair; Foot/Ankle: Lateral Stabilization, Medial Stabilization, Achilles Tendon Repair; Knee: Medial Collateral Ligament Repair, Lateral Collateral Ligament Repair, Posterior Oblique Ligament Repair, Iliotibial Band Tenodesis; Elbow: Biceps Tendon Reattachment, Ulnar or Radial Collateral Ligament Reconstruction.

Device Story

SpiraLok Anchor is a PLA threaded suture anchor preloaded on a disposable inserter assembly. Device facilitates fixation of two strands of suture to bone to reattach soft tissue. Suture options include Ethibond (non-absorbable), Panacryl (absorbable), and Orthocord (composite), potentially with tapered needles. Used by surgeons in clinical settings to secure soft tissue to bone, allowing natural healing. Device provides mechanical fixation; suture holds tissue in place during the healing process.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only.

Technological Characteristics

Material: PLA (polylactic acid). Design: Threaded suture anchor. Delivery: Preloaded on a disposable inserter assembly. Function: Mechanical fixation of soft tissue to bone via suture. Sterilization: Not specified.

Indications for Use

Indicated for soft tissue-to-bone fixation in shoulder (rotator cuff, biceps, AC joint), foot/ankle (stabilization, Achilles), knee (collateral ligaments, IT band), and elbow (biceps, collateral ligaments) repairs.

Regulatory Classification

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.

Re: K060271 Trade/Device Name: SpiraLok Absorbable Threaded Suture Anchor Regulation Number: 21 CFR 888.3030 Regulation Name: Single/multiple component metallic bone fixation appliances and accessories Regulatory Class: Class II Product Code: HWC, MAI Dated: January 31, 2006 Received: February 1, 2006

Dear Ms. Forstadt:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food. Drug. and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
