Intended Use

The TranSet™ Fracture Fixation System is indicated as an adjunct in fracture repair involving metaphyseal and periarticular small bone fragments where screws are not indicated. It may also be used as an adjunct to external and intramedullary fixation systems involving fixation plates and rods, with fracture braces and casting, and with bone graft substitutes. The system is also indicated in ligament and tendon repair and reconstruction associated with fractures and soft tissue reattachment including ligament/tendon avulsions and meniscal repairs. The system consists of both absorbable and titanium fixation buttons used with up to USP Size No. 5-braided suture and are not intended for reuse. The system may also be used with the Unity Ultrasonic Fixation seat for tissue approximation and ligation when using USP Size No. 2-0 through 2-braided suture. Custom manual surgical instrumentation for button insertion and a sterilization tray complete the TranSet™ Fracture Fixation System. The TranSet™ Fracture Fixation System is not indicated for use in intra-articular sites.

Device Story

TranSet™ Fracture Fixation System consists of cylindrical buttons (poly-L-lactic acid or titanium alloy) and manual surgical instrumentation. Buttons are applied to outer bone cortex or soft tissue repair sites; suture runs across fracture site to provide stabilization, linear fixation, and compression to promote healing. Buttons act as fixation posts, distributing suture tension to prevent tearing. Absorbable buttons degrade over time; titanium buttons may be removed per surgeon preference. Used in orthopedic procedures by surgeons. System includes sterilization tray for autoclaving. Benefits include stabilization of bone/tissue fragments and elimination of suture tearing.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Performance testing compared mechanical strengths and failure modes of absorbable and titanium buttons against stainless steel Steinmann Pins, demonstrating statistical equivalence.

Technological Characteristics

Materials: Poly-L-lactic acid (absorbable) and titanium alloy. Form factor: Cylindrical buttons. Energy source: None (manual instrumentation). Connectivity: None. Sterilization: Provided sterile (buttons); manual instrumentation requires autoclaving.

Indications for Use

Indicated for fracture repair of metaphyseal and periarticular small bone fragments where screws are not indicated; adjunct to external/intramedullary fixation, fracture braces, casting, and bone graft substitutes; ligament/tendon repair and reconstruction associated with fractures; soft tissue reattachment including ligament/tendon avulsions and meniscal repairs. Contraindicated for intra-articular sites.

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.

#### 510(k) SUMMARY OF SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS

The following information is submitted in accordance with the requirements of 21 CFR 807.92:

Contact Person: Patrick G. Balsmann, MS, RAC Director RA/QA & Clinical Bonutti Research, Inc. P.O. Box 1367, Effingham, Illinois 62401 Phone: [phone], ext. 321

Date Prepared: November 25, 2003

Proprietary Name: TranSet™ Fracture Fixation System.

Common Name: Trauma Fracture Fixation System.

· Classification Name: 21 CFR 888.3040 Smooth or threaded mctallic bone fixation fastener and 21 CFR 878.4930 Suture retention device.

Device Deseription :- The TranSet ... Frantyre Fixation System intended use is in the stabilization and linear fixation of bone or tissue fragments in orthopedic fractures and in ligament and tendon repair and reconstruction. The system consists of both absorbable and titanium cylindrical huttons manufactured from poly-L-lactic acid or titanium alloy. The buttons are provided sterile packaged with or without braided suture and are intended for single-patient use. Buttons are applied to the outer bone cortex and with suture ruming across the fracture site allows for stabilization and linear fixation of the bone or tissue fragments. This allows the bone or tissue fragments to be compressed and held together to promote healing. The cylindrical design of the buttons also allows them to be used as fixation devices in orthopedic ligament and tendon repair and reconstruction. The buttons are placed outside the cortical bone or though a soft tissue repair site and act as fixation posts by distributing suture tension over larger areas to promote healing and eliminate any suture tearing or pulling through the tissue. The absorbable buttons degrade over time and eliminate the need for any surgical removal. Removal of the titanium buttons is based upon surgeon preference. Reusable manual surgical instrumentation for insertion of the buttons and a sterilization tray for autoclaving complete the system.

Custom manual surgical instrumentation for button insertion and a sterilization tray complete the TranSctTM Fracture Fixation System.

The TranSet™ Fracture Fixation System is not indicated for use in intra-articular sites.

Predicate Device (s): The TranSet " Fracture Fixation System is similar in intended use and materials to the Multitak SS Buttons (K990156), Linvatec, Corp., BioButton™ (K990194) and Inion, Ltd., OTPS 10 Biodegradable pins (K031712). The TranSet 1 Fracture Fixation System buttons are also similar in design and materials to the Multitak SS Buttons and the Multitak Splinter 3.0 mm Resorbable Anchors (K012456).

Predicate Comparison: Performance testing comparing the mechanical strengths and failure modes of the TranSet™ Fracture Fixation System absorbable and titanium buttons to stainless steel Steinmann Pins commonly used in fracture fixation procedures demonstrated the buttons are statistically equivalent.
