Intended Use

The Opus® LabraLock™ P bone anchor with inserter is indicated for use in fixation of soft tissue to bone. Examples of such procedures include: Shoulder: Bankart Repair, SLAP lesion repair, acromio-clavicular separation, rotator cuff repair, capsule shift/capsule-labral reconstruction, biceps tenodesis and deltoid repair Ankle: Lateral instability, medial instability, Achilles tendon repair/reconstruction and midfoot reconstruction Foot: Hallux valgus reconstruction Elbow: Tennis elbow repair, biceps tendon attachment Knee: Extra-capsular repairs; reattachment of: medial collateral ligament, posterior oblique ligament or joint capsule closure to anterior proximal tibia; extra capsular reconstruction, ITB tenodesis; patellar ligament and tendon avulsions

Device Story

Bone anchor with inserter handle; used in arthroscopic/orthopedic procedures for soft tissue-to-bone fixation. Device manufactured from PEEK (polyether-etherketone). Operated by surgeons in clinical/OR settings. Provides mechanical fixation of tendons/ligaments to bone. Benefits patient by enabling secure tissue reattachment during reconstructive surgeries.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Substantial equivalence based on design, material characterization, and comparison to legally marketed predicate devices.

Technological Characteristics

Bone anchor with inserter handle. Material: PEEK (polyether-etherketone). Mechanical fixation device. Non-degradable. Class II, product code MBI/HWC.

Indications for Use

Indicated for fixation of soft tissue to bone in orthopedic procedures including shoulder (Bankart, SLAP, rotator cuff, biceps tenodesis, deltoid repair), ankle (instability, Achilles, midfoot), foot (hallux valgus), elbow (tennis elbow, biceps attachment), and knee (extra-capsular repairs, ligament/tendon reattachment).

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.

# 510(K) SUMMARY

### Substantial Equivalence

By definition, substantial equivalence means that a device has the same intended use and technical characteristics as the predicate device, or has the same intended use and different technological characteristics, but can be demonstrated to be as safe and effective as the predicate device. The Opus® Labral.ock™ P is substantially equivalent to the existing Opus® MiniMagnum™ Knotless Firation Device cleared by the Food & Drug Administration [K042584], the Mitek Mini QuickAnchor™ Plus [K992487], the Mitek Bioknotless™ Anchor [K002639] and the Arthrex PEEK™ PushLock™ Knotless Anchor [K051219]. The differences between the Opus® LabraLock™ P and the predicate devices do not raise any questions regarding the safety and effectiveness of the implant. Furthermore, the materials are well characterized and have been used in predicate devices with similar indications. The device, as designed, is as safe and effective as predicate devices.

### Summary and Reason for 510k Notification

The purpose of this 510k is to notify the Food and Drug Administration of a new product, the Opus® LabraLock™ P Knotless Fixation Device. This new product is substantially equivalent to the Opus® MiniMagnum™ Knotless Fixation Device originally cleared under K042584, but is manufactured from PEEK (polyether-etherketone) as opposed to stainless steel.
