Intended Use

The SpeedLock HIP Knotless Fixation Implant is indicated for use in fixation of soft tissue to bone in the hip. Examples of such procedures include: - Hip capsule repair - Acetabular labrum reattachment

Device Story

SpeedLock HIP Knotless Fixation Implant is a bone anchor system for arthroscopic/orthopedic hip procedures. Device consists of 3.4 mm PEEK bone anchor and disposable preloaded inserter handle. Eliminates need for surgical knots to fixate suture to tissue. Used by surgeons in clinical settings. Inserter delivers anchor into bone; internal detachment feature secures suture. Provides stable soft tissue-to-bone fixation; benefits patient by simplifying surgical technique and reducing procedure time.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical or animal data included. Evidence consists of bench-top design verification, functional testing, and comparative mechanical testing (static and cyclic suture/anchor pull testing) in foam bone and simulated hard bone substrates.

Technological Characteristics

3.4 mm PEEK bone anchor; disposable anchor inserter handle. Single-use. Sterilized by ethylene oxide. Mechanical fixation principle (knotless).

Indications for Use

Indicated for fixation of soft tissue to bone in the hip, specifically for hip capsule repair and acetabular labrum 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.

### Predicate Device

This 510(k) relates to a modification to the SpeedLock HIP Knotless Fixation Implant cleared under K 120943 (September 21, 2012).

#### Description

The SpeedLock HIP Knotless Fixation Implant (SpeedLock HIP) is a bone anchor with inserter handle designed for use in arthroscopic and orthopedic procedures. With this anchor, surgical knots are not necessary for the fixation of suture to tissue.

The SpeedLock HIP consists of two primary parts: a 3.4 mm PEEK bone anchor and a disposable anchor inserter which is preloaded with the anchor. The entire product is packaged in a tray with a Tyvek® lid, and the finished product is sterilized by ethylene oxide. Both the anchor and inserter are designed for single use only.

The SpeedLock HIP Knotless Fixation System also includes associated instruments for implanting the anchor into bone.

# K123240

The design modification that is the subject of this Premarket Notification relates to the internal detachment feature of the SpeedLock HIP anchor. The modification does not alter the overall device characteristics or the manner in which the device is used, and there are no changes to the device's cleared indications for use.

## Intended Use/Indications For Use

The SpeedLock HIP Knotless Fixation Implant is indicated for use in fixation of soft tissue to bone in the hip. Examples of such procedures include:

- 0 Hip capsule repair
- Acetabular labrum reattachment

#### Non-Clinical Data

The following testing was submitted in support of a determination of substantial equivalence between the predicate and modified devices:

- Design Verification testing to demonstrate conformance with device specifications. This testing included functional testing of all aspects of device performance, use of the device with ancillary devices, and anchor deployment, bone lock and suture lock in a foam bone model.
- . Insertion testing in a simulated hard bone substrate.
- 트 Side-by-side comparative testing of the modified and predicate devices, including static and cyclic suture and anchor pull testing, as well as elements of standard verification testing.

The test results demonstrate that the modified SpeedLock HIP Knotless Fixation Implant meets its design, performance, and safety specifications and that it performs substantially equivalently to the predicate SpeedLock HIP Knotless Fixation Implant.

## Clinical Data

No clinical or animal data are included in this submission.

#### Summary

All testing demonstrates that the modified SpeedLock HIP Knotless Fixation Implant performs as intended and has acceptable mechanical properties when used in accordance with its labeling.

Since the modified device's intended use and technological characteristics are the same as those for the previously cleared device, we do not believe that the modification to the SpeedLock HIP Knotless Fixation Implant raises any new questions of safety or effectiveness.
