In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal
{1}------------------------------------------------
statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97).

| Purpose of<br>Submission | This Traditional 510(k) premarket notification is submitted to obtain clearance for the<br>Arthrex Vortex™ Threaded Bone Marrow Recovery Needle. |
| Device<br>Description | The Arthrex Vortex™ Threaded Bone Marrow Recovery Needle is a single-use aspiration<br>needle comprised of a 304 stainless steel (SS) cannula with a molded plastic Acrylonitrile<br>Butadiene Styrene (ABS) handle, and a 304 stainless steel stylet with a molded plastic<br>(ABS) handle which mates with the cannula handle when the stylet is inserted through<br>the cannula. The distal end of the cannula is threaded and has vent holes for bone<br>marrow aspirate recovery. The needle will be offered in 8G and 13G sizes. It will also be<br>offered in an open tip configuration as well as a closed tip configuration.<br>The Arthrex Vortex™ Threaded Bone Marrow Recovery Needle can be hammered or<br>twisted into the bone to access the marrow. A standard syringe (not included) will be<br>attached to the Luer-lock portion of the ABS handle and negative pressure is applied to<br>withdraw the bone marrow aspirate. The device can be used anywhere bone marrow<br>aspirate can be collected such as the iliac crest, vertebral bodies, femur, humerus and/<br>or the calcaneus. The threaded the portion on the distal end of the cannula will allow<br>for precise depth control of the device while performing the aspiration. |

| Performance<br>Data | Arthrex completed testing on the proposed device and predicate (K131157) to<br>demonstrate the performance. Insertion and removal torque, fatigue, failure torque<br>and hammer insertion were tested on the proposed device. Testing for leakage and<br>clogging as well as hammer insertion was performed on the predicate device (K131157).<br>Failure torque testing was also performed on predicate device for characterization only.<br>No instances of leakage/clogging were observed when aspirating the test solution for<br>the proposed device or for the predicate. No failures were observed during hammer<br>insertion testing for the proposed device or for the predicate. Additionally, after<br>hammer insertion testing, both the proposed device and predicate device showed no<br>signs of mechanical deformation or prevention of aspiration capabilities.<br><br>Material Mediated Pyrogenicity was performed on a comparable device. Based on the<br>results of the study the test article showed no evidence of material mediated<br>pyrogenicity. In addition, bacterial endotoxin testing is conducted in accordance with<br>AAMI ST72 2019 and meets the 20EU/device for routine monitoring of sterile products. | | | |
