Intended Use
The ArthroCare Spartan PEEK Suture Implant 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 reattachment 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 ArthroCare Spartan PEEK (polyether-etherketone) Suture Implant is a fully-threaded, corkscrew shape anchor available in a 5.5mm diameter size. The suture anchor comes preconfigured with MagnumWire® sutures for traditional knot tying and is mounted on a disposable delivery driver. The device is supplied sterile. Associated Class I instruments for installation and removal of the implant are available separately. Together, the Spartan suture anchor and instrumentation will be known as the ArthroCare Spartan PEEK Suture Implant System.
More Information

No
The summary describes a mechanical suture anchor and its associated instruments, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities in its function or intended use.

No.
A therapeutic device is typically understood as a device used to treat or cure a disease or condition. This device, a suture implant, is used for fixation of soft tissue to bone and reconstruction, which are surgical procedures, but it does not actively treat or cure a disease in the way a therapeutic device would. It aids in the structural repair following injury or surgical intervention.

No

This device is designed for the fixation of soft tissue to bone, serving as an implant for surgical repairs, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical implant made of PEEK, a suture anchor, and associated instruments. It is a hardware device, not software.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The ArthroCare Spartan PEEK Suture Implant is a physical implant designed to fix soft tissue to bone during surgical procedures. It is implanted directly into the body and does not interact with or analyze specimens taken from the body.

The information provided clearly describes a surgical implant, not a diagnostic test performed outside the body.

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

Additionally, bench performance testing has been completed to demonstrate the substantial equivalence of the ArthroCare Spartan PEEK Suture Implant to the predicate Speedscrew implant in accordance with FDA Guidance Document Testing for Bone Anchors. The in vitro testing performed involved insertion of the anchors in a simulated human bone substrate followed by both ultimate strength and cyclic loading tests. The performance testing and device comparison demonstrate that the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device, and is safe and effective for its intended use.

§ 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.

Substantial Equivalence

7

In establishing substantial equivalence to the predicate devices, ArthroCare compared the intended use, device design, technology, and device components of the subject device with the predicate devices. Additionally, bench performance testing has been completed to demonstrate the substantial equivalence of the ArthroCare Spartan PEEK Suture Implant to the predicate Speedscrew implant in accordance with FDA Guidance Document Testing for Bone Anchors. The in vitro testing performed involved insertion of the anchors in a simulated human bone substrate followed by both ultimate strength and cyclic loading tests. The performance testing and device comparison demonstrate that the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device, and is safe and effective for its intended use.

Summary of Safety and Effectiveness

The ArthroCare Spartan PEEK Suture Implant, as described in this premarket notification 510(k), is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
