Device Story
Device consists of 316L stainless steel 3mm suture anchors preloaded with UHMWPe braided sutures; also includes standalone UHMWPe sutures. Used by surgeons to reapproximate and secure soft tissue to bone or soft tissue to soft tissue in the hand. Anchor delivered into bone via single-use driver and handpiece; sutures secured via manual knot tying. Provides mechanical fixation for ligament and tendon repairs. Benefits include secure tissue reattachment to facilitate healing. Device is sterile, single-use, and intended for clinical/surgical settings.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance evaluated in standardized foam bone models comparing anchor insertion torque, suture knot pull strength, pull-out failure force, and cyclic pull-out performance. Biocompatibility data from predicate K101126 remains applicable.
Technological Characteristics
316L stainless steel anchor; UHMWPe braided suture. Single-use, implantable. Sterilized by ethylene oxide. Mechanical fixation via knot-tying. No software or electronic components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for soft tissue-to-soft tissue or soft tissue-to-bone reattachment in the hand, specifically for collateral ligaments (PIP, DIP, MCP joints) and flexor/extensor tendons.
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.

| Device Description | Brief Description of the Device, Sutures<br>The PONTISTM 3mm anchor is made of 316L stainless steel and<br>incorporates non-absorbable UHMWPe sutures which are |
| | available in United States Pharmacopoeia (USP) sizes 4-0 to 2-0 in various lengths and cleared to market under K094028. UHMWPe sutures and 316L Stainless steel are used in a wide variety of medical devices including previously approved implants of this type. The UHMWPe Sutures will be secured by knot tying. The UHMWPe sutures are supplied sterile and armed with cutting needles. A single use driver and hand piece will hold the excess suture, which delivers the preloaded anchor into the bone. The suture strands are used to reapproximate and secure the soft tissue to bone. The anchor is the same as was cleared under K101126, PONTIS Sutures and Suture Anchor with Optional Crimps. |

## Substantial Equivalence The substantial equivalence of the PONTiSTM Nonabsorbable Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene Braided Suture and PONTISTM 3mm Nonabsorbable Suture Anchors with Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene Braided Suture is based on the equivalence in intended use, operational principals, and indications for use to the predicate PONTISTM Sutures and Suture Anchors with Optional Crimp (K101126). The only difference is the suture type, which is being changed to Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene Suture (UHMWPe) instead of stainless steel. The sutures will be secured by knots instead of an alternate crimp. The UHMWPe sutures were cleared to market under K094028. PONTiSTM UHMWPe Sutures and PONTiSTM 3mm Suture Anchors with UHMWPe suture are substantially equivalent to other sutures currently marketed in conjunction with suture anchors and present no substantial differences in design, intended use and function to previously approved products. Nonclinical Tests A collection of tests was conducted to determine safety and Performed performance on the proposed device. Additionally, the subject device labeling is consistent both with FDA's guidance as well as current medical practice. The PONTiSTM 3mm Suture Anchors with UHMWPe was compared in standardized foam bone model materials. The Anchor insertion torque, suture strength (knot pull), pull-out failure mechanism (pull-out or suture break strength) and pullout failure force were documented. In addition cyclic pull-out performance was characterized. In all performance tests the PONTiSTM UHMWPe Sutures and 3mm Suture Anchors with UHMWPe Suture secured by knots are equivalent to products currently marketed for the same indications as confirmed by a comparison to the literature documenting the comparative characteristics of suture anchors. The performance studies and biocompatibility reviews indicate that the PONTiSTM UHMWPe sutures are safe for their intended use. Conclusions Drawn The testing demonstrated that the products are equivalent and did not affect safety and efficacy of the device or raise any new questions of safety or efficacy.

Dear Dr. Gordon:
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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you; however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.
