The SF Push-in Anchor is designed only to be inserted with the SupraFuser® Generator. ## Device Story SF Push-in Anchor is a bioresorbable implant for soft tissue-to-bone reattachment. System includes anchors (1.6-3.6mm), SupraFuser ultrasonic generator, handpiece, sonotrode, and surgical instruments (drills, stoppers, reamers). During surgery, surgeon inserts anchor into predrilled bone hole; ultrasonic energy from SupraFuser liquefies Poly-L-lactide-co-D,L-lactide polymer at bone interface. Liquid polymer flows into cancellous bone marrow space, quenching immediately to provide mechanical fixation. Device used in orthopedic procedures; operated by surgeons. Output is secure suture fixation for soft tissue. Benefits include bioresorbable material and stable fixation via ultrasonic welding. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Data includes gamma sterilization validation, packaging validation, shelf-life validation, and anchor pull-out testing to demonstrate mechanical integrity and substantial equivalence. ## Technological Characteristics Implants made of bioresorbable Poly-L-lactide-co-D,L-lactide (Resomer LR 706 S). Diameters: 1.6, 2.3, 3.0, 3.6mm. Energy source: Ultrasonic (SupraFuser generator). Instruments: Stainless steel (1.4197) drills/reamers, PEEK stoppers/front covers. Sterilization: Gamma radiation (VDmax 25 kGy). Connectivity: Standalone system. ## Regulatory Identification Single/multiple component metallic bone fixation appliances and accessories are devices intended to be implanted consisting of one or more metallic components and their metallic fasteners. The devices contain a plate, a nail/plate combination, or a blade/plate combination that are made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, stainless steel, and titanium, that are intended to be held in position with fasteners, such as screws and nails, or bolts, nuts, and washers. These devices are used for fixation of fractures of the proximal or distal end of long bones, such as intracapsular, intertrochanteric, intercervical, supracondylar, or condylar fractures of the femur; for fusion of a joint; or for surgical procedures that involve cutting a bone. The devices may be implanted or attached through the skin so that a pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system. ## Predicate Devices - Surgical Fusion SF-Push-in Anchor ([K240288](/device/K240288.md)) ## Reference Devices - SpineWelding Elaris Pedicle Screw System ([K183091](/device/K183091.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

The SF Push-in Anchors are delivered in a dedicated Implant Case to facilitate suture loading and suture handling during implantation. The SF Push-in Anchors are made of biocompatible and fully bioresorbable Poly-L-lactide-co-D,L-lactide. The SF Push-in Anchors are fully bioresorbable implants designed for soft tissue reattachment to bone by means of suture materials. The implantation process employs ultrasonic energy to liquefy the polymeric components of the Push-in Anchors at the interface with bone tissue. The liquid polymer flows into the marrow space of the surrounding cancellous bone, where it is immediately quenched and provides anchorage of the implant. The ultrasonic energy for the implantation of the Push-in Anchors is produced by the SupraFuser® ultrasonic generator and applied via the attached handpiece. The sonotrode is mounted on the handpiece. It transmits the ultrasonic vibrations to the Push-in Anchor. The drills and the stoppers are dedicated to be used with the Push-in Anchor of the respective size. The Geomax Reamer is used for the SF Push-in Anchors 1.6, 2.3 and 3.0 in cases of thick cortical bone or oblique insertion. ## Performance Data The following tests were performed to demonstrate the substantial equivalence of the SF Push-in Anchor: - Gamma sterilization validation - Packaging validation - Shelf-life validation - Anchor pull out testing {8} K260294 4 of 10 # Substantial Equivalence The SF Push-in Anchors are as safe and effective as the primary predicate SF Push-in Anchors. The SF Push-in Anchors have the same intended uses and similar indications, technological characteristics, and principles of operation. The minor technological differences between the subject and predicate SF Push-in Anchors and its predicate devices, summarized in the table below, raise no new issues of safety or effectiveness. Performance data demonstrate that the SF Push-in Anchors are as safe and effective as the predicate. Thus, the SF Push-in Anchors are substantially equivalent. | Company | Surgical Fusion Technologies | Surgical Fusion Technologies | | --- | --- | --- | | Device | SF- Push-in Anchor Portfolio | SF-
