Intended Use

The AOS Proximal Humeral Nail is intended to treat stable and unstable proximal fractures of the humerus including two and three, and in some cases, four part humerus fractures.

Device Story

Titanium intramedullary nail system for fixation of proximal humeral fractures; enters humerus through greater tuberosity. System includes cannulated nail (15cm length, 10mm proximal diameter, 8mm distal diameter), proximal/distal locking screws, and end cap. Proximal end features 6° bend and 6 holes for 5.0mm cancellous screws; distal end features 4 cross-locking holes for 3.5mm cortical screws. Used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical/surgical settings to stabilize fractures. Provides mechanical fixation to facilitate bone healing.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only.

Technological Characteristics

Titanium intramedullary nail; cannulated; 15cm length; 10mm proximal diameter; 8mm distal diameter; 6° proximal bend; proximal/distal locking screws; end cap. Mechanical fixation.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients with stable and unstable proximal humeral fractures, including two, three, and four-part fractures.

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.

#### INTENDED USE:

The AOS Proximal Humeral Nail is intended to treat stable and unstable proximal fractures of the humerus including two and three, and in some cases, four part humerus fractures.

## DEVICE DESCRIPTION AND SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE RATIONALES:

The AOS Proximal Humeral Nail is a titanium humeral intramedullary nail that is designed to enter the humerus through the greater tuberosity. It consists of an intramedullary nail. proximal and distal locking screws, and an end cap.

The AOS Proximal Humeral Nail is a cannulated nail with a 6° proximal bend and a proximal diameter of 10mm. The Humeral Nail is produced in a 15cm length with a distal diameter of 8mm. The proximal end of the nail has six holes which accept the 5.0mm cancellous screw. The distal end of the nail contains four cross locking holes which are designed to accept a 3.5mm cortical screw. The proximal end of the nail is threaded to accept an end cap.

The AOS Proximal Humeral Nail was shown to be substantially equivalent to the AOS Humeral Nail. The AOS Proximal Humeral Nail was shown to be substantially equivalent in design, materials and intended use to the device listed below. Once assembled the geometry of the AOS nail and the predicate devices are virtually identical. Additionally, mechanical testing showed that the device is substantially equivalent.

Dear Mr. Doner:

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. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
