Device Story

Opus SpeedLock is a bone anchor with an inserter handle used for arthroscopic soft tissue-to-bone fixation. Operated by surgeons in clinical/OR settings. Device secures soft tissue to bone without requiring manual knots. Benefits include simplified surgical technique and secure fixation. No complex processing or software involved.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; bench testing only.

Technological Characteristics

Bone anchor with inserter handle. Materials are well-characterized and used in predicate devices. Mechanical fixation device; no energy source, software, or connectivity.

Indications for Use

Indicated for fixation of soft tissue to bone in orthopedic procedures including shoulder (Bankart, SLAP, rotator cuff, etc.), ankle (instability, Achilles), foot (hallux valgus), elbow (tennis elbow, biceps), and knee (ligament/tendon 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.

## 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 SpeedLock Knotless Fixation Device is substantially equivalent to the existing Opus LabraLock P Knotless Fixation Device cleared by the Food & Drug Administration (K061349, cleared July 14, 2006). The differences between the Opus SpeedLock and the predicate device 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 SpeedLock Knotless Fixation Device. This new product is substantially equivalent to the Opus LabraLock P Knotless Fixation Device originally cleared under K061349 (July 14, 2006).
