Intended Use
The Medtronic Twist Lock Anchor, Part Number 103953 or Model 3550TLA, is indicated as an alternate anchor accessory for use with Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) Systems for the treatment of chronic intractable pain of the trunk or limbs. The Twist Lock Anchor is only for use with coiled conductor Medtronic Neurological Spinal Cord Stimulation leads with an outside diameter of 1.27 mm. All other uses are contraindicated.
Device Story
The Medtronic Twist Lock Anchor is an implantable accessory for spinal cord stimulation (SCS) systems; used to secure leads to the supraspinous ligament or deep fascia. The device consists of a polysulfone driver and shell with a press-fitted stainless steel pin. It functions by creating mechanical compression to grip the lead body outer jacket. It is intended for use with 1.27 mm diameter coiled conductor Medtronic leads. The anchor is secured to tissue via sutures. It serves as an alternative to silicone rubber anchors, providing equivalent gripping strength and flex characteristics to ensure lead stability and prevent migration, thereby maintaining effective pain relief therapy for the patient.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Bench testing only. Performance testing included flex testing to compare lead body flex characteristics and pull testing to determine breakaway load, demonstrating equivalence to the predicate silicone rubber anchor.
Technological Characteristics
Implantable lead anchor. Materials: polysulfone (driver and shell), stainless steel (pin). Mechanism: mechanical compression grip. Dimensions: compatible with 1.27 mm diameter leads. Anchoring site: supraspinous ligament or deep fascia. Securement: suture-based.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients with chronic intractable pain of the trunk or limbs requiring spinal cord stimulation. Compatible only with 1.27 mm diameter coiled conductor Medtronic Neurological leads. Contraindicated for all other uses.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An implanted spinal cord stimulator for pain relief is a device that is used to stimulate electrically a patient's spinal cord to relieve severe intractable pain. The stimulator consists of an implanted receiver with electrodes that are placed on the patient's spinal cord and an external transmitter for transmitting the stimulating pulses across the patient's skin to the implanted receiver.

#### III. PREDICATE DEVICE
Medtronic Lead Anchor Accessory Model 3550-01
#### IV. DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The Medtronic Twist Lock Anchor is an implantable device. It is used with Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) systems for the treatment of chronic intractable pain of the trunk or limbs.
The anchor is assembled from three parts: the driver and the shell which are made of polysulfone, and a stainless steel pin which is press fitted into the shell. The compression created by the fit of the driver within the shell grips the lead body outer jacket.

The Medtronic Twist Lock Anchor can be used only with coiled conductor Medtronic Neurological Spinal Cord Stimulation leads that require anchor sleeve and that have an outside diameter of 1.27 mm.
# INDICATIONS FOR USE V.
The Medtronic Twist Lock Anchor is indicated as an alternate anchor accessory for use with Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) Systems for the treatment of chronic intractable pain of the trunk or limbs. The Twist Lock Anchor can be used only with coiled conductor Medtronic Neurological Spinal Cord Stimulation leads with an outside diameter of 1.27 mm. All other uses are contraindicated.
### VI. COMPARISON TO PREDICATE DEVICES
#### Function and Intended Use તે.
The Medtronic Twist Lock Anchor has the same function and intended use as the current silicone rubber anchor. The Medtronic Twist Lock Anchor and the current silicone rubber anchor are indicated for use as alternate spinal cord stimulation lead accessories for use in the treatment of chronic intractable pain of the trunk or limbs. Both are used with spinal cord stimulation leads with an outer diameter of 1.27 mm.
#### Gripping Method and Strength b.
Both the current silicone rubber anchor and the Twist Lock Anchor grip using compression. The gripping strength of the current silicone rubber anchor and the Twist Lock Anchor are substantially equivalent.
#### Recommended Anatomical Placement and Anchoring Site C.
Both the current silicone rubber anchor and the Medtronic Twist Lock Anchor are placed as close as possible to where the lead emerges from the deep fascia. Both have a recommended anchoring site of the supraspinous ligament or deep fascia.

#### d. Tissue Securement
The current silicone rubber anchor and the Medtronic Twist Lock Anchor are secured by sutures.
#### Performance Testing e.
Medtronic, Inc. has provided descriptive data on the test plan and test results for the Twist Lock Anchor. These data support that the function and characteristics of the device are suitable for its intended use.
Flex testing was performed which demonstrated that the lead body, while gripped by the anchor, has equivalent flex characteristics as the lead body gripped by the current silicone anchor.
Pull testing was performed that demonstrated the breakaway load of the Twist Lock Anchor is equivalent to the current silicone rubber anchor.
In summary, Medtronic, Inc. has provided information within the 510(k) Premarket Notification to indicate that the Twist Lock anchor is safe and effective for its intended use as an alternate neurological lead accessory in the treatment of chronic intractable pain of the trunk and limbs. Additionally, the Twist Lock Anchor has been shown to be comparable in terms of intended use and technological characteristics to the silicone rubber anchor currently in commercial distribution. The data and information provided within the 510(k) Premarket Notification adequately support that the Twist Lock Anchor is substantially equivalent to the silicone rubber anchor currently in commercial distribution.
