Intended Use

The Acumed Small Bone Locking Rod System II includes rods and screws, with accessories, for indicated use for fractures and osteotomies of the radius, ulna, and fibula.

Device Story

Acumed Small Bone Locking Rod System II is an intramedullary fixation device consisting of solid or cannulated rods and cortical screws. Rods are slightly bowed, ranging from 110-270 mm in length and 3.0-4.5 mm in diameter. The system is used by surgeons in clinical settings to stabilize bone fractures and osteotomies in the radius, ulna, and fibula. The rod is inserted into the intramedullary canal and locked in place using cortical screws passed through rod openings. This mechanical fixation provides structural support to the bone during the healing process.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; bench testing only.

Technological Characteristics

Intramedullary fixation rod system. Materials: Titanium alloy (ASTM F136) and stainless steel (ASTM F138, ASTM F2229). Design: Slightly bowed, solid or cannulated rods, 110-270 mm length, 3.0-4.5 mm diameter. Mechanical locking mechanism via cortical screws.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring fixation for fractures and osteotomies of the radius, ulna, and fibula.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

An intramedullary fixation rod is a device intended to be implanted that consists of a rod made of alloys such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum and stainless steel. It is inserted into the medullary (bone marrow) canal of long bones for the fixation of fractures.

Device Description: The Acumed Small Bone Locking Rod II is an intramedullary rod with solid and cannulated versions. Rods are manufactured in multiple lengths (110 mm to 270mm) and diameters (3.0 to 4.5 mm). The rod has openings used in conjunction with cortical screws, which lock it in place.

Intended Use: The Acumed Small Bone Locking Rod II System is indicated for use in fractures and osteotomies of the fibula, radius, and ulna. These are similar to intended use of predicate devices and do not raise new issues of safety and effectiveness.

Technological Characteristics: The Acumed Small Bone Locking Rods II are slightly bowed rods made from titanium alloy in conformance with ASTM F136 and stainless steel ASTM F138 and ASTM F2229. Both titanium alloy and stainless steel have been successfully used in numerous intramedullary rods. There are no technological characteristics that raise new issues of safety or effectiveness.

## An assessment of performance data is not applicable. A discussion of clinical and non-clinical tests is not applicable.

Based upon the similarities of the Acumed Small Bone Rod II System and the predicate devices studied, the safety and effectiveness of the Acumed Small Bone Rod II System is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices referenced.

Dear Mr. Boehmer:

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. 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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898.
