Intended Use
The proposed Bone Anchor System is intended for use in procedures that require placement of a bone anchor for the purpose of soft tissue reinforcement and support inclusive of, but not limited to, suspending suture/sling for the treatment of urinary stress incontinence attributable to hypermobility and/or intrinsic sphincter deficiency such as: Pubourethral, Urethrovesical, Pubovaginal, and Bladder Neck Support/Stabilization; Urethral and Vaginal Prolapse Repair; and Reconstruction of the Pelvic Floor
Device Story
Bone anchor system used for soft tissue reinforcement and support; facilitates attachment of sutures to bone. Used in surgical procedures including pelvic floor reconstruction, prolapse repair, and treatment of urinary stress incontinence. Operated by surgeons in clinical/OR settings. Device provides mechanical fixation point for sutures; enables stabilization of tissues (e.g., bladder neck, urethra). Benefits patient by providing secure anchor for surgical repair of soft tissue defects.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only; no clinical data provided.
Technological Characteristics
Bone anchor system consisting of metallic bone fixation fastener and nonabsorbable poly surgical suture. Mechanical fixation device.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring soft tissue reinforcement and support, including treatment of urinary stress incontinence due to hypermobility or intrinsic sphincter deficiency, urethral/vaginal prolapse repair, and pelvic floor 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.

Dear Ms. Holloway:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to 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). 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 requirement, 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.
If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for *in vitro* diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4659. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639.
