Device Story
PITON™ Fixation Implant System comprises 2.8 mm diameter bone anchor and disposable pre-loaded inserter; secures soft tissue to bone using USP #2 high-strength non-absorbable UHMWPE braided suture. Anchor design features curved titanium base and flared nitinol clip; allows insertion directly into bone without predrilled, punched, or tapped pilot hole. Used by surgeons in clinical settings for various orthopedic repairs (shoulder, foot/ankle, knee, hand/wrist, elbow, hip) and pelvic floor procedures. Device provides mechanical fixation; surgeon manually deploys anchor via inserter to secure tissue; facilitates healing by maintaining tissue-to-bone contact.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Substantial equivalence supported by bench testing in accordance with applicable FDA guidelines and established history of use for device materials.
Technological Characteristics
2.8 mm diameter bone anchor; materials: titanium (base) and nitinol (clip); suture: USP #2 non-absorbable UHMWPE. Mechanical fixation principle; no energy source. Designed for direct insertion without pilot hole. Non-software device.
Indications for Use
Indicated for soft tissue to bone fixation in shoulder, foot/ankle, knee, hand/wrist, elbow, and hip orthopedic repairs, and for female urinary incontinence (bladder neck suspension) due to urethral hypermobility or intrinsic sphincter deficiency.
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.

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.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.
