Used by surgeons in clinical settings for orthopedic repairs (shoulder, ankle, foot, elbow, knee). Device consists of Polylactic Acid (PLA) anchor and braided long-term absorbable Panacryl suture. Surgeon inserts anchor into bone to secure soft tissue; provides mechanical fixation during healing. Benefits include secure tissue attachment and absorbable materials, reducing need for secondary removal. Single-patient use. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Included functional integrity testing and anchor pullout from bone testing. Biocompatibility testing performed per ISO-10933 standards. ## Technological Characteristics Materials: Polylactic Acid (PLA) anchor, braided long-term absorbable Panacryl suture. Form factor: Preloaded, disposable, sterile suture anchor/inserter assembly. Biocompatibility: ISO-10933 compliant. ## Regulatory Identification An absorbable poly(glycolide/l-lactide) surgical suture (PGL suture) is an absorbable sterile, flexible strand as prepared and synthesized from homopolymers of glycolide and copolymers made from 90 percent glycolide and 10 percent l-lactide, and is indicated for use in soft tissue approximation. A PGL suture meets United States Pharmacopeia (U.S.P.) requirements as described in the U.S.P. “Monograph for Absorbable Surgical Sutures;” it may be monofilament or multifilament (braided) in form; it may be uncoated or coated; and it may be undyed or dyed with an FDA-approved color additive. Also, the suture may be provided with or without a standard needle attached. ## Special Controls *Classification.* Class II (special controls). The special control for this device is FDA's “Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Surgical Sutures; Guidance for Industry and FDA.” See § 878.1(e) for the availability of this guidance document. ## Predicate Devices - Mitek - Knotless Anchor - Mitek - PanalokTM Wedge Anchor ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Registration: 1221934 | | Device Generic Name: | Appliance for reconstruction of bone to soft tissue | | Classification: | According to Section 13 of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, the device
classification is Class II, Performance Standards. | | Predicate Devices: | Mitek - Knotless Anchor
Mitek - PanalokTM Wedge Anchor | All of the devices mentioned above have been determined substantially equivalent by FDA. Device Description: The device described in this 510(k) is a sterile, preloaded, disposable, absorbable suture anchor/inserter assembly designed to allow soft tissue repair to bone. The product is designed for single patient use only. The anchor is constructed of Polylactic Acid (PLA) and the Panacry)™ suture is a braided long term absorbable suture. Indications for Use: The BioKnotless Suture Anchor is indicated for use in soft tissue to bone fixation in association with adequate postoperative immobilization as follows: Shoulder; Bankhart Repair, SLAP lesion repair, acromio-clavicular separation, rotator cuff repair, capsule shift/capsulolabral reconstruction, biceps tenodesis, deltoid repair. Ankle; Lateral instability, medial instability, Achilles tendon repair/reconstruction, midfoot reconstruction. Foot; Hallux Valgus reconstruction. Elbow; Tennis elbow repair, Biceps tendon reattachment. Knee; Extra capsular repairs, reattachment of: medial collateral ligament, lateral collateral ligament, posterior oblique ligament or joint capsule to tibia and joint capsule closure to anterior proximal tibia; extra capsular reconstruction, ITB tenodesis; patellar ligament and tendon avulsions. Safety and Performance: Functional and integrity bench testing and Biocompatibility testing (according to the FDA guidance document, ODE Blue Book Memoradum #G95-1, 1995, Use of International Standard ISO-10933, "Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices Part 1: Evaluation and Testing" were performed, and the data supported the substantial equivalence of the BioKnotless 10 Anchor. Specifically, anchor pullout from bone testing and in vitro testing were conducted on the device. Conclusion: Based on the Indications for Use, technological characteristics and safety and performance testing, the BioKnotless Anchor has been shown to be substantially eqivalent to predicate devices under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. {1}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/1/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.

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 (Premarket Approval), 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 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic QS inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations. This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market. {2}------------------------------------------------ Page 2 - Ms. Mary P.
