Intended Use
The A.I.M.™ Suture Anchor is intended for use in arthroscopic, mini-open or open surgical procedures for fixation of soft tissue to bone. The A.I.M. ™ Suture Anchor is intended for use in the following applications: Ankle: Mid-foot Reconstruction . Foot: Hallux valgus reconstruction o Hand: Ulnar or lateral collateral ligament reconstruction ● Wrist: Scapholunate ligament reconstruction .
Device Story
Implant system consisting of 1.7mm diameter PEEK anchor pre-mounted on disposable inserter; preloaded with USP size 0 Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene suture. Used in arthroscopic, mini-open, or open surgical procedures; inserted into pre-formed bone hole using single-use disposable awl. Fixes soft tissue to bone to facilitate healing in ankle, foot, hand, and wrist reconstructions. Operated by surgeons. Provides mechanical fixation; pull-out force performance comparable to predicate devices.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Pull-out force testing performed to demonstrate mechanical equivalence to predicate devices. Biocompatibility established via reference to material supplier data.
Technological Characteristics
1.7mm diameter PEEK (polyether-etherketone) anchor; USP size 0 Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene suture; single-use disposable inserter and awl. Mechanical fixation principle. Non-degradable.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring soft tissue to bone fixation during arthroscopic, mini-open, or open surgical procedures, specifically for mid-foot reconstruction, hallux valgus reconstruction, ulnar or lateral collateral ligament reconstruction, and scapholunate ligament reconstruction.
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.

#### Description
The implant system includes a 1.7mm diameter PEEK (polyether-etherketone) anchor. pre-mounted on a disposable inserter. The anchor is preloaded with USP size 0 Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene suture. The device is designed to be inserted into a pre-formed hole using a single use disposable awl
#### Intended Use (Indications)
The A.I.M. ™ Suture Anchor is intended for use in arthroscopic, mini-open or open surgical procedures for fixation of soft tissue to bone.
The A.I.M. ™ Suture Anchor is intended for use in the following applications:
- Ankle: Mid-foot Reconstruction .
- Foot: Hallux valgus reconstruction o
- Hand: Ulnar or lateral collateral ligament reconstruction ●
- Wrist: Scapholunate ligament reconstruction .
#### Substantial Equivalence
This submission supports the position that the A.I.M.™ Suture Anchor is substantially equivalent to previously cleared devices, including those listed above. Data have been provided in the submission that demonstrates that the anchor pull-out forces are equivalent or superior to a referenced predicate device. Biocompatibility of the anchor was established through reference to data on file from the provider of the PEEK material. The referenced predicate devices include the same range of clinical uses in their labeling.
#### Conclusions
Anchor Innovation Medical, Inc. believes that the information provided establishes that similar legally marketed devices have been used for the same clinical applications as the A.J.M.™ Suture Anchor. The materials from which the Anchor Innovation Medical device is fabricated have an established history of use, and the devices have been tested in accordance with applicable FDA guidelines. The A.I.M. ™ Suture Anchor is substantially equivalent to previously marketed devices.

Dear Mr. Schrayer:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you; however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.
