The X-Twist Biocomposite Suture Anchors are indicated for attachment of soft tissue to bone. These products are intended for the following indications:
Shoulder: Rotator Cuff Repair, SLAP Lesion Repair, Biceps Tenodesis, Acromo-Clavicular Separation Repair, Deltoid Repair
Foot/Ankle: Lateral Stabilization, Medial Stabilization, Achilles Tendon Repair
Knee: Anterior Cruciate Ligament Repair, Medial Collateral Ligament Repair, Lateral Collateral Ligament Repair, Patellar Tendon Repair, Posterior Oblique Ligament Repair, Iliotibial Band Tenodesis, Quadriceps Tendon Repair, Meniscal Root Repair, Secondary or adjunct fixation for ACL/PCL reconstruction or repair, MPFL Repair/Reconstruction
Elbow: Ulnar/Radial Collateral Ligament Reconstruction, Lateral Epicondylitis Repair
The X-Twist Biocomposite Suture Anchor consists of the implants (anchor and anchor tip) and the anchor driver assembly. The anchor and anchor tip are provided assembled to the driver and sterile. The X-Twist Biocomposite anchor is molded using a composite of beta-TCP (beta-tricalcium-phosphate) and PLGA (poly-lactic-co-glycolic acid). The anchor tip is molded using PEEK (polyetheretherketone). The anchor is fully threaded, double-helical, cannulated, and has inline fenestrations on each quarter-turn face. The anchor tip is retained on the driver via retention suture(s) or suture tape(s) that are passed through the driver cannulation, looped over the retention bridge within the tip, and returned out the proximal end of the driver handle and cleated. These devices are to be used with a drill, awl, and/or bone tap. The X-Twist Biocomposite Suture Anchors are provided sterile and in 4.75mm, 5.5mm, or 6.25mm diameters.
The X-Twist Biocomposite Suture Anchor, as described in this 510(k) summary, did not undergo a study to prove acceptance criteria in the traditional sense of a clinical or standalone performance study. Instead, the FDA determined substantial equivalence based on non-clinical testing and comparison to predicate devices.
Here's a breakdown of the requested information based on the provided document:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
For the specific non-clinical test reported, here are the acceptance criteria and results:
| Test | Acceptance Criteria | Results |
|---|---|---|
| Evaluation of the USP Limulus Amebocyte Lysate (LAL) Test - Kinetic-Turbidimetric Method - as an End-Product Endotoxin Test | Standard Curve Correlation Coefficient: ≥0.98 Slope of curve: between -0.400 and -0.100. PPC: 50-200% Test Article Endotoxin Concentration: ≤20 EU/device | Standard Curve Correlation Coefficient: 1.00 Slope: -0.213 PPC: 173% Test Article Endotoxin Concentration: <1.0 EU/device |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
- Sample Size for Endotoxin Test: Ten (10) disassembled devices were used.
- Data Provenance: Not specified, but generally, non-clinical tests performed for FDA submissions are conducted by the manufacturer or a contracted lab. This is a non-clinical, in-vitro test.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Their Qualifications
Not applicable. For this type of non-clinical endotoxin test, ground truth is established by scientific standards and analytical methods, not human experts.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
Not applicable. This was a laboratory test with quantitative results measured against defined criteria.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done
No. An MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. The document explicitly states: "Clinical testing was deemed not necessary for demonstrating substantial equivalence to the predicate devices."
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done
No. This device is a physical medical implant (suture anchor), not an algorithm or AI system. Therefore, standalone algorithm performance is not applicable.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
For the reported LAL endotoxin test, the ground truth is established by the analytical measurement against a defined standard, specifically the USP (United States Pharmacopeia) guidelines for Limulus Amebocyte Lysate (LAL) testing, with a Control Standard Endotoxin (CSE) curve.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
Not applicable. As this is a physical medical device and not an AI model, there is no "training set."
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
Not applicable, as there is no training set for this type of device.

Dear Calen Souther:
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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's

Non-clinical Testing
The non-clinical testing was conducted to evaluate the biocompatibility and performance of the subject device. The testing was performed using the same methods and protocols as that used for the predicate devices. The results of the testing were assessed against the results obtained with the predicate devices to determine substantial equivalency for design, performance, and safety.
Final devices were subjected to bacterial endotoxin testing in accordance with USP <85> and USP <161>.

Conclusion
The X-Twist Biocomposite Suture Anchor is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices in which the design features, materials, packaging, sterility, shelf life, and intended uses are the same.
The testing data and comparisons of the technological characteristics within this submission demonstrate that the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices when used in accordance with the intended use.
§ 888.3030 Single/multiple component metallic bone fixation appliances and accessories.
(a)
Identification. Single/multiple component metallic bone fixation appliances and accessories are devices intended to be implanted consisting of one or more metallic components and their metallic fasteners. The devices contain a plate, a nail/plate combination, or a blade/plate combination that are made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, stainless steel, and titanium, that are intended to be held in position with fasteners, such as screws and nails, or bolts, nuts, and washers. These devices are used for fixation of fractures of the proximal or distal end of long bones, such as intracapsular, intertrochanteric, intercervical, supracondylar, or condylar fractures of the femur; for fusion of a joint; or for surgical procedures that involve cutting a bone. The devices may be implanted or attached through the skin so that a pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system.(b)
Classification. Class II.
