Intended Use
The SpeedScrew Knotless Fixation Device is indicated for use in fixation of soft tissue to bone. Examples of such procedures include: Shoulder: Bankart Repair, SLAP lesion repair, acromio-clavicular separation, rotator cuff repair, capsule shift/capsule-labral reconstruction, biceps tenodesis and deltoid repair Ankle: Lateral instability, medial instability, Achilles tendon repair/reconstruction and midfoot reconstruction Foot: Hallux valgus reconstruction Elbow: Tennis elbow repair, biceps tendon attachment Knee: Extra-capsular repairs; reattachment of: medial collateral ligament, posterior oblique ligament or joint capsule closure to anterior proximal tibia; extra capsular reconstruction, ITB tenodesis; patellar ligament and tendon avulsions
Device Description
The SpeedScrew Knotless Fixation Device is an implant that facilitates the attachment of tissue to bone. The SpeedScrew implant is a knotless fixation device, in other words surgical knots are not necessary for fixation of suture to tissue. The Opus SpeedScrew System consists of a 5.5 mm implant and a 6.5 mm implant, and associated instruments for installation of the implant that is designed for specific indications in arthroscopic and orthopedic procedures.
More Information

No
The document describes a mechanical implant and surgical instruments, with no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies.

No
The device is an implant designed to facilitate the attachment of tissue to bone, specifically for fixation of soft tissue to bone in various orthopedic procedures. It is a fixation device, not a therapeutic one that delivers therapy.

No

The device is an implant designed for the physical fixation of soft tissue to bone, as described in the "Device Description" and "Intended Use / Indications for Use" sections. It is not used to diagnose a medical condition or disease.

No

The device description explicitly states it is an "implant" and includes "associated instruments for installation," indicating it is a physical medical device, not software only.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the "fixation of soft tissue to bone" in various anatomical locations. This is a surgical procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is described as an "implant" that facilitates the attachment of tissue to bone. Implants are devices placed within the body.
  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.

The SpeedScrew Knotless Fixation Device is a surgical implant used in vivo (within the living body) for mechanical fixation, not a diagnostic test performed in vitro (outside the living body).

Intended Use / Indications for Use

The SpeedScrew Knotless Fixation Device is indicated for use in fixation of soft tissue to bone. Examples of such procedures include:

Shoulder: Bankart Repair, SLAP lesion repair, acromio-clavicular separation, rotator cuff repair, capsule shift/capsule-labral reconstruction, biceps tenodesis and deltoid repair Ankle: Lateral instability, medial instability, Achilles tendon repair/reconstruction and midfoot reconstruction

Foot: Hallux valgus reconstruction

Elbow: Tennis elbow repair, biceps tendon attachment

Knee: Extra-capsular repairs; reattachment of: medial collateral ligament, posterior oblique ligament or joint capsule closure to anterior proximal tibia; extra capsular reconstruction, ITB tenodesis; patellar ligament and tendon avulsions

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Side by side bench testing was performed on the proposed and predicate devices per the US FDA Guidance Document for Testing Bone Anchors. The in vitro testing conducted involved insertion of the anchors in a simulated human bone substrate followed by both static and cyclic fatigue testing. The differences between the Opus SpeedScrew System and the predicate system do not raise questions regarding the safety and effectiveness of the implant. Furthermore, the materials are well characterized and have been used in predicate devices with similar indications. The proposed system, as designed, is as safe and effective as the predicate system.

§ 888.3040 Smooth or threaded metallic bone fixation fastener.

(a)
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.(b)
Classification. Class II.

510(K) SUMMARY

Substantial Equivalence

By definition, substantial equivalence means that a device has the same intended use and technical characteristics as the predicate device, or has the same intended use and different technological characteristics, but can be demonstrated to be as safe and effective as the predicate device. The Opus SpeedScrew System design and technology is substantially equivalent to the existing Opus SpeedScrew System cleared by the Food and Drug Administration (K081893 and K100457). Side by side bench testing was performed on the proposed and predicate devices per the US FDA Guidance Document for Testing Bone Anchors. The in vitro testing conducted involved insertion of the anchors in a simulated human bone substrate followed by both static and cyclic fatigue testing. The differences between the Opus SpeedScrew System and the predicate system do not raise questions regarding the safety and effectiveness of the implant. Furthermore, the materials are well characterized and have been used in predicate devices with similar indications. The proposed system, as designed, is as safe and effective as the predicate system.

Summary and Reason for 510k Notification

For the purpose of this premarket notification [510(k)], ArthroCare proposes an additional size implant (Opus 6.5 mm SpeedScrew Knotless Fixation Device) and additional ancillary instrumentation (6.5 mm Punch/Tap) to be used in conjunction with the existing system cleared under the trade name, Opus SpeedScrew System.
