## Intended Use

The Cayenne Medical, Inc. CuffLink™ Suture Anchors are intended for use for the reattachment of soft tissue to bone for Rotator Cuff Repairs.

## Device Story

CuffLink™ Suture Anchor is a sterile, manually operated, single-procedure device for reattaching soft tissue to bone during arthroscopic or open shoulder rotator cuff repair. Device consists of an anchor pre-loaded with two #2 nonabsorbable surgical sutures, mounted on a 14 cm driver. Surgeon places anchor into bone; sutures secure soft tissue. Output is mechanical fixation of tissue to bone. Benefits include stable reattachment of rotator cuff tendons to the humerus, facilitating healing. Used in OR settings by orthopedic surgeons.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Mechanical testing performed to compare ultimate pull-out strength of the CuffLink Suture Anchor against the predicate device, demonstrating equivalence.

## Technological Characteristics

Sterile, manually operated suture anchor. Sizes: 5.5 x 16 mm and 6.5 x 16 mm. Includes two #2 nonabsorbable surgical sutures. Driver working length: 14 cm; shaft diameter: 3 mm. Mechanical fixation principle.

## 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.

### DEVICE DESCRIPTION

The CuffLink™ Suture Anchor is a sterile, manually operated, single procedure suture anchor device for reattachment of soft tissue to bone in procedures such as shoulder rotator cuff repair. There are two sutures loaded through the center of the anchor around, an eyelet at the distal tip of the anchor and back through the center. The suture anchor is mounted on a driver. The CuffLink Suture Anchor incorporates design features that facilitate suture anchor placement under arthroscopic or open, limited access conditions in soft tissue to bone reattachment procedures such as shoulder rotator cuff repair.

The CuffLink Suture Anchor is offered in two different sizes with four suture color options. The anchor sizes are 5.5 x 16 mm and 6.5 x 16 mm. Sutures used in the anchor are size # 2 nonabsorbable surgical sutures. The CuffLink driver has a working length of 14 cm with an outer shaft diameter of 3 mm.

Mechanical testing was performed on the CuffLink Suture Anchor and a predicate device. Testing showed ultimate pull-out strength was equivalent to the predicate device.

# EQUIVALENCE TO MARKETED PRODUCT

Cayenne Medical, Inc. demonstrated that, for the purposes of FDA's regulation of medical devices, the CuffLink™ Suture Anchor is substantially equivalent in indication and design principles to predicate devices, each of which has been determined by FDA to be substantially equivalent to preamendment devices: Arthrex Corkscrew™ Suture Anchors (K061863), Force Fiber Blue Co-Braid Polyethylene non-absorbable surgical suture (K040472), Force Fiber Black Co-Braid Polyethylene non-absorbable surgical suture (K070673), Force Fiber Green Co-Braid Polyethylene non-absorbable surgical suture (K100506), and Force Fiber Blue Polyethylene nonabsorbable surgical suture (K092533).
