Intended Use

It is the intention of Miltex Inc. to introduce into the marketplace a line of Fixation/Steinmann Pins both Smooth and Threaded. The material is 316LVM, Stainless Steel and the Pins are to be utilized for internal fixation of bone fractures. The Pins are used specifically for fractures of the proximal or distal end of long bones such as intracapsular intertrochanteric, intercervical, supracondylar, or condylar fractures of the femur. The device(s) may be implanted or attached through the skin so that a pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system.

Device Story

Steinmann and fixation pins used for internal bone fracture fixation or skeletal traction. Manufactured from 316LVM stainless steel. Pins are implanted or attached percutaneously by surgeons to stabilize bone segments or apply traction. Device functions as a mechanical fastener. No electronic or software components.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Substantial equivalence based on bench testing, adherence to ISO standards, and historical performance in the veterinary marketplace.

Technological Characteristics

Material: 316LVM stainless steel. Form factor: Smooth and threaded pins. Function: Mechanical bone fixation/traction. Standards: Meets print specifications and current ISO standards.

Indications for Use

Indicated for internal fixation of bone fractures, specifically fractures of the proximal or distal end of long bones (e.g., intracapsular, intertrochanteric, intercervical, supracondylar, or condylar femur fractures). May be used for skeletal traction.

Regulatory Classification

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.

| Common/Trade Names: | Steinmann and Fixation Pins |
|-------------------------|--------------------------------------------------|
| Classification Names: | Pin, Fixation, Smooth<br>Pin, Fixation, Threaded |
| Substantial Equivalence | Miltex Inc. is claiming Substantial Equivalence |

Claim:

for our Fixation Pins, Smooth and Threaded based upon the cross referenced information as presented in the Spread Sheet, pages 5-2 and 5-3,

which clearly indicates a large representation of other manufacturers. Their similar products have been utilized in the medical device market for many years. In addition, the subject Pins have already been assigned Product Codes of 87HTY and 87JDW by the FDA. The FDA in these classifications has already issued 510(k) numbers to manufacturers who sell and or distribute these product lines.

The "Statement of Intended Use" adequately describes the product functions, concepts of use and device designs related to material used for manufacture. Certificates of Mill Analysis will be maintained in our Device History Records (DHR), as evidence of the 316LVM material used to produce these products.

Miltex Inc. will assure that product will be manufactured as indicated above and with the further confirmation that the Pins will meet all parameters of our print specifications and current ISO standards referenced under Performance Standards, Miltex Inc. then hereby claims that these Steinmann/Fixation Pins are Substantially Equivalent.

The above attestation therefore deems this product as being Safe and Effective. Our (5) plus years in which Miltex Inc. has already sold Steinmann/Fixation Pins in the Veterinary marketplace, serves as additional confirmation of the Safety and Effectiveness of this new product line. Miltex Quality records for these products support our claim.
