## Intended Use

The Mitek Rotator Cuff QuickAnchor® Plus is indicated for Rotator cuff repair.

## Device Story

Sterile, disposable bone anchor for rotator cuff repair; consists of titanium alloy shaft with nickel-titanium shape-memory alloy arcs; supplied pre-loaded on disposable inserter with polyester and PANACRYL (Poly L-Lactide/Glycolide) synthetic absorbable suture. Used by surgeons in clinical settings to fixate soft tissue to bone. Device functions via mechanical anchoring; shape-memory arcs deploy to secure anchor within bone. Provides stable fixation for tendon-to-bone attachment; facilitates surgical repair; aids patient recovery.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Performance data provided includes arc span test, insertion force, pull-out force, and suture/suture hole interface testing.

## Technological Characteristics

Materials: Titanium alloy shaft, nickel-titanium shape-memory alloy arcs, polyester and PANACRYL (Poly L-Lactide/Glycolide) suture. Form factor: Pre-loaded bone anchor on disposable inserter. Sterilization: Sterile, single-use.

## Regulatory 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.

Product Description: The device described in this 510(k) is a sterile, disposable bone anchor consisting of a titanium alloy shaft with nickel-titanium shape-memory alloy arcs. The anchor is supplied pre-loaded on an inserter with a polyester and PANACRYL, Poly (L-Lactide/Glycolide) synthetic absorbable] suture.

#### Indications for Use:

Mitek RC Anchors have been found substantially equivalent in previous Premarket Notifications for Rotator Cuff repair.

This current 510(k) allows modification of the RC Anchor design in order to accommodate the line extension, which includes the Mitek Rotator Cuff QuickAnchor® Plus, providing a pre-loaded single use anchor on a disposable inserter.

### Safety and Performance:

The following safety and performance data has been provided to support substantial equivalence of the RC Anchor for the design modification:

Performance testing: Arc span test, Insertion force, PullOut force, and Suture/Suture Hole interface.

### Conclusion:

Based on 1) safety and performance data, and 2) similarities in design, operating principle, materials, biocompatibility and sterilization method, the Mitek Rotator Cuff QuickAnchor Plus has been shown to be substantially equivalent to predicate devices under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act.

Dear Ms. Kuntz-Nassif:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to 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). 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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21. Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic (QS) inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
