The AFX™ Femoral Implant with Inserter is intended for use in tenodesis procedures with soft tissue grafts, utilizing either arthroscopic or open techniques during Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL), Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL), Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL), Lateral Collateral Ligament (LCL), and Medial Patellofemoral Ligament (MPFL) reconstruction.
The AFX Femoral Implant with Inserter is a non-absorbable internal fixation device used in arthroscopic or open cruciate ligament reconstruction to anchor tendon grafts (such as the hamstring tendon) within a surgically created femoral tunnel to enable tissue ingrowth with the resultant formation of a permanent bony attachment.
Modifications to the predicate device, AperFix AM Femoral Implant with Inserter, that are the subject of this submission are confined solely to a line extension consisting of a metal free version of the original 24mm implant.
The screws of the modified 24mm implant differ from that of the original 24mm implant in that the combination of two PEEK screws, compression and deployment, in the modified 24mm implant play the role of the metal central screw in the original 24mm implant. In both the original 24mm and modified 24mm versions of the implant, lateral deflection of the body occurs as the implant is secured in position, however, in the original 24mm implant this occurrence is caused by advancing the head of the metal central screw and in modified 24mm implant this occurrence is caused by advancing the compression screw. In the subject 24 mm device, the unibody engages the wall of the femoral tunnel upon deploying the deployment screw. In the predicate 24 mm device the wings engage the wall of the femoral tunnel upon deploying the central screw.
This document describes a 510(k) premarket notification for a medical device called the "AFX™ Femoral Implant with Inserter." The submission focuses on a modification to an existing device, creating a metal-free version.

The SureLock™ All-Suture Anchor is a sterile (using ethylene oxide sterilization method), manually operated, single procedure all suture anchor device for reattachment of soft tissue to bone. The all-suture anchor is preloaded with floating suture and loaded on a disposable inserter. SureLock™ All-Suture Anchor incorporates design features that facilitate suture anchor placement under arthroscopic, open, or limited access conditions in soft tissue to bone reattachment procedures.
The SureLock™ All-Suture Anchor is offered in two different sizes, 1.4mm and 2.2mm. The anchors and floating sutures are made out of non-absorbable Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) surgical sutures.
The 1.4mm anchor is formed by passing one end of a length of suture perpendicularly back through itself in alternating directions a number of times. This results in a construct resembling a ladder. The four suture tails are cut and trimmed. A floating suture is passed through the loops in the anchor to form the anchor construct.
The 2.2mm anchor is formed by passing the end of a first length of suture through the core of a second length. Then, one end of the second length is passed through the core of the first length, creating a loop with four suture tails. The loop is twisted alternately a number of times with the floating sutures weaved through each twist to form the anchor construct.
The 1.4mm anchor is pre-loaded with one floating suture and the 2.2mm size is preloaded with two floating sutures.
The disposable inserter has a working shaft length of 22,2 cm with an outer shaft diameter of 2.0 mm for the 1.4mm SureLock anchor and 2.4mm for the 2.2mm SureLock anchor. The inserter shaft is made out of surgical grade stainless steel and the handle and knob are made out of ABS plastic. The inserter pushes the suture anchor construct into a hole drilled in the bone. The knob on the inserter handle is rotated to apply tension on the floating suture(s) to expand and deploy the anchor in the bone tunnel. The floating suture limbs are then released from the inserter and the inserter is removed.
The Cayenne Medical, Inc. SureLock™ All-Suture Anchor is a medical device designed to reattach soft tissue to bone in orthopedic surgical procedures. The device comes in two sizes, 1.4mm and 2.2mm, and is pre-loaded with non-absorbable Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) surgical sutures.
Here's an analysis of its acceptance criteria and the study that proves its performance:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:
The document doesn't explicitly state numerical acceptance criteria in a dedicated table format. However, it indicates that the key performance metric for proving substantial equivalence to predicate devices is ultimate pull-out strength.
| Acceptance Criteria | Reported Device Performance (SureLock™ All-Suture Anchor) |
|---|---|
| Ultimate pull-out strength comparable to predicate device (ConMed Linvatec Y-Knot™ All-Suture Anchor) | "Testing showed that the SureLock™ All-Suture Anchor ultimate pull-out strength was comparable to that of the predicate device." |
2. Sample Size and Data Provenance for the Test Set:
- Sample Size: The document does not explicitly state the numerical sample size used for the mechanical testing (pull-out strength). It mentions testing "both predicate and subject devices for the range of the subject device indications using three bone block densities." This implies multiple tests across different densities, but the exact number of samples per device or density is not provided.
- Data Provenance: Not specified, but likely from laboratory testing conducted by Cayenne Medical, Inc. The data is retrospective in the sense that it's reported after the testing was performed for the 510(k) submission. There is no information regarding country of origin for the data.
3. Number of Experts and their Qualifications for Ground Truth:
Not applicable. This device is not an AI/ML medical device, and therefore, a ground truth established by human experts for image interpretation or diagnosis is not relevant for this type of mechanical device. The "ground truth" here is the objective measurement of pull-out strength in a laboratory setting.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:
Not applicable, as this is laboratory mechanical testing against a predicate device, not involving human interpretation or consensus. The comparison is based on quantitative measurements.
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study:
Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML medical device requiring human-in-the-loop performance evaluation or MRMC studies.
6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance Study:
Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML general purpose medical device.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used:

This traditional 501(k) premarket notification is to expand the indications for use for Cayenne Medical Quattro GL Suture Anchor. The Quattro GL (LabraLink) Suture Anchor was cleared per premarket notification K112960. Cayenne seeks to expand the existing indications for use for the subject device to include the indications listed above.
The Quattro® GL Suture Anchor is a sterile, manually operated, single procedure suture anchor. The anchor has two suture eyelets allowing for one or two sutures to be loaded through the eyelets. The suture anchor is mounted on an inserter. The Quattro GL Suture Anchor incorporates design features that facilitate suture anchor placement under arthroscopic, open, or limited access conditions in soft tissue to bone reattachment procedures. The Quattro GL Suture Anchor is only offered in one size, 2.9mm with four suture color options. The anchors are offered in two configurations, single loaded or double loaded sutures. Suture(s) used on the anchor are size # 2 non-absorbable surgical sutures. The Quattro GL inserter has a working length of 25.8 cm with an outer shaft diameter of 3.2 mm. Since the market clearance of this device, the length of the Suture Anchor was decreased from 15mm to 11.4mm. The technological characteristics of the Quattro GL Suture Anchor have not changed.
Here's an analysis of the provided text regarding the acceptance criteria and study for the Quattro® GL Suture Anchor:
1. A table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance
The provided 510(k) summary does not explicitly state specific acceptance criteria in a quantitative or qualitative manner that would be typically found for performance metrics like sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, etc., for a diagnostic device.
Instead, the submission focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to existing predicate devices based on:
| Acceptance Criteria Category | Reported Device Performance (Summary) |
|---|---|
| Mechanical Testing (Pull-Out Strength) | "Testing showed that the Quattro GL Suture Anchor ultimate pull-out strength was comparable to that of the predicate device." |
| Intended Use | The expanded indications for use for the Quattro GL Suture Anchor align with its intended purpose of reattaching soft tissue to bone across various anatomical locations (Hip, Shoulder, Elbow/Wrist/Hand, Knee, Foot/Ankle). This comparison demonstrates equivalence to its own previously cleared version and other predicate devices with similar indications. |
| Design Features | "The subject device... has the same intended use, design, technology, and materials... as the Cayenne Medical Quattro GL (LabraLink) Suture Anchor with Inserter (K112960)." |
| Materials | "The subject device... has the same... materials... as the Cayenne Medical Quattro GL (LabraLink) Suture Anchor with Inserter (K112960)." |
| Manufacturing Processes | "The subject device... has the same... manufacturing processes... as the Cayenne Medical Quattro GL (LabraLink) Suture Anchor with Inserter (K112960)." |
| Sterilization Method | "The subject device... has the same... sterilization method... as the Cayenne Medical Quattro GL (LabraLink) Suture Anchor with Inserter (K112960)." |
| Shelf Life | "The subject device... has the same... shelf life... as the Cayenne Medical Quattro GL (LabraLink) Suture Anchor with Inserter (K112960)." |
Key takeaway: The primary "acceptance criterion" for this 510(k) appears to be demonstrating that the device is substantially equivalent to legally marketed predicate devices, particularly in terms of its mechanical properties and that the expanded indications for use do not introduce new safety or effectiveness concerns. The specific numerical values for "pull-out strength" that define "comparable" are not provided in this summary.
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g. country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective)
The document mentions "Non-clinical testing data submitted, referenced, or relied upon" including "Mechanical testing (pull-out strength)."
- Sample Size: The specific sample size used for the pull-out strength testing is not specified in the provided summary.
- Data Provenance: The document does not provide details on the country of origin of the data or whether the testing was retrospective or prospective. Given it's mechanical testing of physical anchors, it's inherently prospective in nature for a new batch of tested devices.
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g. radiologist with 10 years of experience)
This section is not applicable to the provided document. The Quattro® GL Suture Anchor is a medical device (suture anchor) for surgical reattachment, not a diagnostic device that requires expert interpretation for establishing ground truth on a test set (e.g., for image analysis). The "ground truth" for this device lies in its physical and mechanical properties (e.g., strength, biocompatibility), which are evaluated through non-clinical laboratory testing.
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set
This section is not applicable for the same reasons as point 3. Adjudication methods like 2+1 (two readers agree, third is tie-breaker) are used in diagnostic studies to resolve discrepancies in expert interpretation of medical images or data. The testing described for the suture anchor is mechanical in nature and does not involve human interpretation requiring adjudication.
5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance
This section is not applicable. The Quattro® GL Suture Anchor is a surgical implant, not an AI-powered diagnostic tool or system designed to assist human readers. Therefore, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study involving human readers and AI assistance is not relevant to this device.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done
This section is not applicable. The device is a physical surgical implant. There is no algorithm or AI component to this device that would have standalone performance.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc)
For the mechanical testing (pull-out strength), the "ground truth" would be the objective, empirically measured physical properties of the suture anchors under controlled laboratory conditions, typically using standardized testing methods (e.g., ASTM standards) on a material testing machine. This is not "expert consensus" or "pathology" in the diagnostic sense, but rather a direct measurement of physical performance.
8. The sample size for the training set
This section is not applicable. This device is a physical medical implant, not an AI or machine learning model that requires a "training set" of data.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established
This section is not applicable for the same reason as point 8.

The AperFix AM Femoral Implant is intended for use in tenodesis procedures with soft tissue grafts, utilizing either arthroscopic or open techniques during Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL), Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL), Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL), Lateral Collateral Ligament (LCL), and Medial Patellofemoral Ligament (MPFL) reconstruction.
The AperFix AM Femoral Implant with Inserter is a non-absorbable internal fixation device used in arthroscopic or open cruciate ligament reconstruction to anchor tendon grafts (such as the hamstring tendon) within a surgically created femoral tunnel to enable tissue ingrowth with the resultant formation of a permanent bony attachment. Modifications to the device that are the subject of this submission are confined solely to limited to a line extension consisting of a 24 mm (shortened) version of the original 29 mm implant to enable greater flexibility in tendon graft placement within the femur when clinical conditions (i.e. anatomy and/or deformity) preclude use of the original 29 mm device. The body wedge and wings of the modified 24 mm device differ from those of the original 29 mm device in that the wings are one piece (as opposed to using an assembly of a wedge, two arms, and two pins). In both the 24 mm and 29 mm versions of the AperFix device, the advancing head of the central screw causes lateral deflection of the body as the implant is secured in position. In the subject 24 mm device, the wings engage the wall of the femoral tunnel upon tightening the central screw. In the predicate 29 mm device the arms engage the wall of the femoral tunnel upon tightening the central screw and wedge.
Here's a breakdown of the acceptance criteria and study information for the AperFix® AM Femoral Implant with Inserter, based on the provided 510(k) summary:

- Engineering Specifications and Standards: For mechanical testing (pull-out strength), the ground truth would be defined by established engineering principles for fixation strength in bone, relevant ASTM standards (if applicable), and the performance characteristics of the predicate device. For dimensional analysis, the ground truth is the engineering design specifications and drawings for the implant components.
-
The Sample Size for the Training Set
- Not applicable. There is no "training set" in the context of mechanical and dimensional testing for a physical implant. The device's design is validated against specifications, not trained on data.
-
How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
- Not applicable. As there's no training set, there's no ground truth for it. The "ground truth" for the device's design and performance validation (as mentioned in point 7) is established through engineering design, material science principles, and comparison to the predicate device.

Sutures used in the anchor are size # 2 nonabsorbable surgical sutures. The CuffLink driver has a working length of 14 cm with an outer shaft diameter of 3 mm.
This document is a 510(k) Summary for the Cayenne Medical, Inc. CuffLink™ Suture Anchor. It primarily focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices rather than presenting a study with acceptance criteria for device performance.
Therefore, many of the requested details about acceptance criteria, study design, and performance metrics are not explicitly provided in this type of submission document.
However, based on the provided text, here's what can be inferred or directly stated:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
The document does not provide a formal table of acceptance criteria with specific numerical targets. Instead, it states that "Mechanical testing was performed on the CuffLink Suture Anchor and a predicate device. Testing showed ultimate pull-out strength was equivalent to the predicate device."
| Acceptance Criteria Category | Specific Acceptance Criteria (Inferred) | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|---|
| Ultimate Pull-Out Strength | Equivalent to the predicate device (exact value not specified) | Ultimate pull-out strength was equivalent to the predicate device. |
2. Sample Size and Data Provenance for Test Set
- Sample Size: Not specified for the mechanical testing. The document only mentions "mechanical testing was performed."
- Data Provenance: Not specified. It's likely that the testing was conducted in a laboratory setting by the manufacturer, but the location or whether it involved patient data (retrospective or prospective) is not applicable for this type of mechanical comparison testing.
3. Number of Experts and Qualifications for Ground Truth
Not applicable. Mechanical testing for pull-out strength does not involve human experts establishing ground truth in the same way clinical or diagnostic studies do. The "ground truth" would be the objective measurement of pull-out strength.
4. Adjudication Method for Test Set
Not applicable. No expert adjudication method (like 2+1 or 3+1) is mentioned or relevant for mechanical pull-out strength testing.
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study
Not applicable. This device is a mechanical suture anchor, not a diagnostic or imaging device that would typically involve human readers interpreting results with or without AI assistance. The submission focuses on the mechanical properties of the anchor.
6. Standalone Performance Study
Yes, in a sense. The mentioned "Mechanical testing" on the CuffLink Suture Anchor, comparing its ultimate pull-out strength to a predicate device, is a form of standalone performance evaluation for the device's physical properties. It's algorithm-only performance is not applicable since there is no algorithm involved.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used
The ground truth used for the mechanical testing was objective mechanical test measurements of ultimate pull-out strength. This is not expert consensus, pathology, or outcomes data.
8. Sample Size for the Training Set
Not applicable. This is a medical device (suture anchor), not an AI/ML algorithm that requires a training set.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established
Not applicable, as there is no training set for this device.

The provided text is a 510(k) summary for the Cayenne Medical, Inc. CuffLink™ Knotless Anchor. This document describes a medical device, its intended use, and its substantial equivalence to previously marketed products. However, it does not include information about acceptance criteria or a study that proves the device meets specific performance criteria in the way typically discussed for AI/ML device evaluations.
Instead, the document focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices for regulatory clearance. This means showing that the new device is as safe and effective as a legally marketed device, not necessarily that it meets specific performance thresholds against a predefined acceptance criterion in a clinical study setting.
Here's a breakdown based on the provided text, addressing your questions where possible and noting where information is absent:
-
Table of acceptance criteria and the reported device performance:
- Acceptance Criteria: Not explicitly stated in terms of performance metrics (e.g., sensitivity, specificity, accuracy) for a diagnostic or AI device. The "acceptance criteria" here is implicitly "demonstrate substantial equivalence to predicate devices."
- Device Performance: The document states, "Mechanical testing was performed on the CuffLink Knotless Anchor and Inserter. It was shown that ultimate pull-out strength is significantly higher than that of a predicate device." This is a mechanical performance claim, not an AI/ML performance claim.
Since this is a physical medical device (suture anchor) and not an AI/ML diagnostic tool, the typical "acceptance criteria" for AI/ML are not relevant here. The "performance" described is related to mechanical strength, not diagnostic accuracy.
-
Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance (e.g., country of origin of the data, retrospective or prospective):
Not applicable (N/A). The document refers to "mechanical testing," not a clinical "test set" for diagnostic performance. No details on the sample size for this mechanical testing or data provenance are provided beyond the general statement. -
Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts (e.g., radiologist with 10 years of experience):
N/A. This concept of expert-established ground truth for a test set is not relevant for the mechanical testing of a suture anchor. -
Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
N/A. This is relevant for AI/ML diagnostic studies, not for the mechanical testing of a physical device. -
If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance:
N/A. This is a physical device, not an AI system. No human readers or AI assistance are involved in its primary function. -
If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
N/A. This is a physical device, not an algorithm. -
The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):
N/A. For the described mechanical testing, the "ground truth" would be the direct measurement of physical properties like pull-out strength, as determined by engineering standards and validated testing methods. It's not a diagnostic "ground truth." -
The sample size for the training set:
N/A. This device is not an AI/ML model that requires a training set. -
How the ground truth for the training set was established:
N/A. This device is not an AI/ML model.
In summary:
The provided 510(k) summary focuses on demonstrating "substantial equivalence" of a physical medical device (a suture anchor) to existing predicate devices based on its intended use, design principles, and mechanical properties. It explicitly states that "Mechanical testing was performed... [and] ultimate pull-out strength is significantly higher than that of a predicate device."
The questions posed are primarily relevant for the evaluation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) or Machine Learning (ML) medical devices, which involve diagnostic performance, ground truth establishment, expert reviews, and reader studies. The CuffLink™ Knotless Anchor is not an AI/ML device, and thus, most of the requested information (related to AI acceptance criteria, test sets, ground truth for AI, MRMC studies, etc.) is not present in this document.
