Device Facts

• Record ID: K033838
• Device Name: TITANIUM TOGGLE BUTTON(S)
• Applicant: Biomet Manufacturing, Inc.
• Product Code: MBI · Orthopedic
• Decision Date: Feb 13, 2004
• Decision: SESE
• Submission Type: Traditional
• Regulation: 21 CFR 888.3040
• Device Class: Class 2
• Attributes: Therapeutic

Intended Use

Fixation of tendons and ligaments during orthopedic reconstruction procedures such as Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Reconstruction.

Device Story

Titanium Toggle Buttons are orthopedic soft tissue anchors; designed as toggle bars with one or two eyelets. Suture loops thread through eyelets to attach soft tissue grafts to the device. Device functions by anchoring suture loops to bone during orthopedic reconstruction procedures, such as ACL reconstruction. Used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical settings. Mechanical design provides fixation for tendons and ligaments; pull-out strength exceeds predicate devices.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is based on non-clinical mechanical testing demonstrating superior pull-out strength compared to predicate devices.

Technological Characteristics

Material: Titanium. Form factor: Toggle bar with one or two eyelets for suture loop attachment. Function: Soft tissue anchor for bone fixation. Energy source: None (mechanical).

Indications for Use

Indicated for fixation of tendons and ligaments during orthopedic reconstruction procedures, specifically including Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Reconstruction.

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.

Predicate Devices

• Cruciate Ligament Button (K813581)
• Pre-Threaded EndoButton (K984550)
• Endobutton Continuous Loop (K980155)

Proprietary Name: Titanium Toggle Button(s)

Common Name: Soft Tissue Anchor

Classification Name: Fastener, fixation, nondegradable, soft tissue (888.3040)

## Legally Marketed Devices To Which Substantial Equivalence Is Claimed:

- Cruciate Ligament Button (K813581): Biomet, Inc. .
- Pre-Threaded EndoButton (K984550): Smith and Nephew, Inc. .
- Endobutton Continuous Loop (K980155): Smith and Nephew, Inc. .

Device Description: The Titanium Toggle Buttons are a toggle bar designed with one or two eyelets through which multiple loops of suture are threaded. There are two types of Toggle Buttons, the standard toggle button with two eyelets and the NS toggle button with one larger eyelet only. The suture loops provide a means to attach the soft tissue grafts to the toggle buttons. The loops are attached to the toggle button by putting the loops through the eyelet(s). This device is used to anchor the suture loops to bone.

Indications for Use: Fixation of tendons and ligaments during orthopedic reconstruction procedures such as Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Reconstruction.

Summary of Technologies: The titanium Toggle Buttons are similar to or identical to predicate devices in terms of material, intended use, and size.

Non-Clinical Testing: Mechanical testing was utilized to determine that the Titanium Toggle Button(s) has a greater pull-out strength than that of the predicate devices.

Clinical Testing: None provided as a basis for substantial equivalence.

Dear Ms. Bickel:

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 such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
