• Product Code: HRS · Orthopedic
• Decision Date: Sep 3, 2008
• Decision: SESE
• Submission Type: Traditional
• Regulation: 21 CFR 888.3030
• Device Class: Class 2
• Attributes: Therapeutic

Intended Use

In the presence of appropriate additional immobilization or fixation, indicated for maintaining the alignment and fixation of bone fractures, osteotomies, arthrodeses or bone grofts, and, maintenance of relative position of weak bony tissue (e.g., bone grafts, bone graft subsitives, or bone fragments from comminuted fractures), in trauma and reconstructive procedures. Specific indications include: I. Craniofacial skeleton, cranium, mid-face, maxilla, and mandible, 2. Metacarpus, proximal and middle phalangeal bones, 3. Long bones, flat bones, short bones, irregular bones, appendicular skeleton, and thorax.

Device Story

Re-Zorb™ Plating System comprises bioresorbable plates, screws, and tacks for bone fixation; used in trauma and reconstructive surgery. Plates (60-110mm length, 14-20mm width, 1.6mm thickness) and fixation hardware (2.7mm diameter) injection molded from poly (1-lactide-co-D, L-lactide) 70:30. Device provides temporary mechanical support for bone alignment; material gradually loses strength in vivo. Operated by surgeons in clinical settings. Output is physical stabilization of bone fragments or grafts. Benefits include temporary fixation without need for secondary removal surgery due to bioresorbable nature.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; bench testing only.

Technological Characteristics

Bioresorbable bone fixation system; materials: poly (1-lactide-co-D, L-lactide) 70:30. Form factor: plates (60-110mm x 14-20mm x 1.6mm), screws/tacks (2.7mm diameter). Principle: mechanical fixation with gradual in vivo degradation. Provided sterile.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring bone fracture fixation, osteotomies, arthrodeses, or bone graft stabilization in trauma and reconstructive procedures. Applicable to craniofacial skeleton (cranium, mid-face, maxilla, mandible), metacarpus, phalangeal bones, and various long, flat, short, irregular bones of the appendicular skeleton and thorax.

Regulatory Classification

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.

Section 5: 510(k) Summary

Phone: [phone] Fax: [phone]

#### Device Description:

The Re-Zorb™ Plating System consists of plates, fixation devices, and associated instrumentation. The plates are offered in lengths of 60 and 110mm, and widths of 14 and 20mm. All plates are 1.6mm thick with uniformly distributed fixation holes and a polished finished. Fixation devices included in the system consist of screws and tacks. The screws and tacks are offered in 2.7mm diameters and lengths ranging from 8 to 40mm. The plates, screws, and tacks are injection molded from poly (1-lactide-co-D, L-lactide) 70:30, which gradually lose strength in vivo and are provided sterile. Suture can also be used in conjunction with the plates.

#### Technological Characteristics:

Based on the performance data and specifications presented, it can be concluded that the Acute Innovations Re-Zorb™ Plating System has substantially equivalent intended use, scientific technology, degradation profile and mechanical properties to the predicate. The only difference to the predicate is the type of degradable material used, which has been shown through performance data and specifications not to raise any new questions of safety and effectiveness.

No applicable mandatory performance standards exist for this device. Compliance to voluntary consensus standards is listed in the application. Clinical and non-clinical tests are not applicable.
