Intended Use

The SpeedFix 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 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

SpeedFix Suture System is a bone anchor system with an inserter handle; used in arthroscopic and orthopedic procedures to fix soft tissue to bone. System includes bone anchors, drills, obturators, and drill guides. Operated by surgeons in clinical/OR settings. Device facilitates mechanical attachment of tendons/ligaments to bone to support healing and reconstruction.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only; no clinical data presented. Bench testing performed per FDA Guidance Document for Testing Bone Anchors.

Technological Characteristics

Bone anchor system consisting of implant, inserter, drill, and drill guide. Materials are well-characterized and previously used in predicate devices. Mechanical fixation principle. No software or electronic components.

Indications for Use

Indicated for fixation of soft tissue to bone in orthopedic procedures including shoulder (e.g., rotator cuff, Bankart, SLAP), ankle (e.g., Achilles, instability), 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.

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 #### 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 SpeedFix Suture Implant design and technology is substantially equivalent to the existing SpeedFix Suture Implant [K101437]. Side by side comparison bench testing was performed on the proposed and predicate device per the US FDA Guidance Document for Testing Bone Anchors. The differences between the SpeedFix 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 proposed device, as designed, is as safe and effective as predicate devices. ### Summary and Reason for 510k Notification The purpose of this 510(k) is to notify the Food and Drug Administration of a proposed modification to an existing product. The proposed device, the SpeedFix Suture Implant is substantially equivalent to the SpeedFix Suture Implant originally cleared under K101437. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
