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 of Safety and Effectiveness Influence, Inc.'s StapleTac Bone Anchor System 510(k) Number ﷼92277

This 510(k) notification is submitted by Influence, Inc., 900 Kearny Street, 5th floor, San Francisco, California 94133. The contact person is Peter Bick, M.D., President and CEO.

This 510(k) notification describes a device intended for soft tissue fixation to the pubic bone by means of bone anchors. It is indicated for vaginal sling procedures for the treatment of stress type (female) urinary incontinence resulting from urethral hypermobility and/or intrinsic sphincter deficiency.

The StapleTac Bone Anchor System is substantially equivalent to Influence, Inc.'s MicroTac Bone Anchor System cleared under K990160 with respect to intended use, materials and performance of the bone anchors. The major difference between the two systems is that the anchor of the StapleTac Bone Anchor System is designed for sling fixation with a staple and without sutures in sling procedures only, while the predicate device is designed for use with sutures in both sling procedures and cystourethropexy.

Information on risk analysis of the modifications and performance testing provided in the application demonstrates equivalence to the predicate device with respect to performance.

Based on the performance data gathered, the device modifications do not raise any new questions of safety or effectiveness.

Based on the information provided the StapleTac Bone Anchor System is substantially equivalent to the MicroTac Bone Anchor System with respect to intended use, technological characteristics, and performance.
