Examples of such procedures include: Shoulder: Bankart Repair, SLAP lesion repair, acromio-clavicular separation, rotator cuff repair, capsule shift/capsule-labral reconstruction, biceps tenodesis and deltoid repair Ankle: Lateral instability, medial instability, Achilles tendon repair/reconstruction and midfoot reconstruction Foot: Hallux valgus reconstruction Elbow: Tennis elbow repair, biceps tendon attachment Knee: Extra-capsular repairs; reattachment of: medial collateral ligament, posterior oblique ligament or joint capsule closure to anterior proximal tibia; extra capsular reconstruction, ITB tenodesis; patellar ligament and tendon avulsions ## Device Story SpeedLock Knotless Fixation Device is a bone anchor system with an inserter handle used in arthroscopic and orthopedic surgeries. The device facilitates the fixation of soft tissue to bone. It is operated by surgeons in a clinical/OR setting. The system includes associated accessories such as bone drills and obturators for bone hole location. The device is used to secure tendons or ligaments to bone, aiding in tissue repair and reconstruction. It provides mechanical fixation to support healing. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. ## Technological Characteristics Bone anchor system with inserter handle. Materials are well-characterized and consistent with predicate devices. Mechanical fixation principle. Class II device per 21 CFR 888.3040 (Product code: MBI). ## 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. ## Predicate Devices - Opus® SpeedLock® Knotless Fixation Device ([K090615](/device/K090615.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Examples of such procedures include: Shoulder: Bankart Repair, SLAP lesion repair, acromio-clavicular separation, rotator cuff repair, capsule shift/capsule-labral reconstruction, biceps tenodesis and deltoid repair Ankle: Lateral instability, medial instability, Achilles tendon repair/reconstruction and midfoot reconstruction Foot: Hallux valgus reconstruction Elbow: Tennis elbow repair, biceps tendon attachment Knee: Extra-capsular repairs; reattachment of: medial collateral ligament, posterior oblique ligament or joint capsule closure to anterior proximal tibia; extra capsular reconstruction, ITB tenodesis; patellar ligament and tendon avulsions #### Substantial Equivalence By definition, substantial equivalence means that a device has the same intended use and technical characteristics as the predicate device, or has the same intended use and different technological characteristics, but can be demonstrated to be as safe and effective as the predicate device. The SpeedLock Knotless Fixation device design and technology is substantially equivalent to the existing SpeedLock Knotless Fixation Device [K090615]. Side by side comparison bench testing was performed on the proposed and predicate device per the US FDA Guidance Document for Testing Bone Anchors. The differences between the SpeedLock and the predicate device do not raise any questions regarding the safety and effectiveness of the implant. Furthermore, the materials are well characterized and have been used in predicate devices with similar indications. The proposed device, as designed, is as safe and effective as predicate devices. #### Summary and Reason for 510k Notification The purpose of this 510(k) is to notify the Food and Drug Administration of a proposed modification to an existing product. The proposed device, the SpeedLock Knotless Fixation Device is substantially equivalent to the SpeedLock Knotless Fixation Device originally cleared under K090615. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image shows the seal of the Department of Health & Human Services USA.
