Intended Use

The ArthroCare Spartan PEEK Suture Implant 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 reattachment 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

The ArthroCare Spartan PEEK Suture Implant is a fully-threaded, corkscrew-shaped bone anchor made of polyether-etherketone (PEEK). It is mounted on a disposable delivery driver and used to secure soft tissue to bone during orthopedic procedures. The system includes associated instruments, such as a punch tap and extraction tool, for implantation and removal. The device is used by surgeons in clinical settings. It functions by providing mechanical fixation of soft tissue to bone, aiding in the repair of various orthopedic conditions including rotator cuff, Achilles tendon, and ligament reconstructions.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. In vitro testing included insertion of anchors into simulated human bone substrate, followed by ultimate strength and cyclic loading tests.

Technological Characteristics

Material: Polyether-etherketone (PEEK). Design: Fully-threaded, corkscrew-shaped anchor. Diameter: 5.5mm. Delivery: Disposable driver. Associated instruments: Punch tap and extraction tool. Sterile supply.

Indications for Use

Indicated for soft tissue to bone fixation in shoulder, ankle, foot, elbow, and knee procedures. Applicable to patients requiring surgical repair of tendons, ligaments, or joint capsules.

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.

## Intended Uses/Indications for Use

The ArthroCare Spartan PEEK Suture Implant 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 reattachment

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

### Substantial Equivalence

In establishing substantial equivalence to the predicate devices, ArthroCare compared the intended use, device design, technology, and device components of the subject device with the predicate device. Bench performance testing has been completed to demonstrate the substantial equivalence of the ArthroCare Spartan PEEK Suture Implant in accordance with FDA Guidance Document Testing for Bone Anchors. The in vitro testing performed involved insertion of the anchors in a simulated human bone substrate followed by both ultimate strength and cyclic loading tests. The performance testing and device comparison demonstrate that the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device, and is safe and effective for its intended use.

### Summary of Safety and Effectiveness

The proposed modifications to the Spartan PEEK Suture Implant System are not substantial changes, and do not significantly affect the safety or efficacy of the proposed device.
