Indications for Use
The Ellipse Intramedullary Limb Lengthening System is indicated for limb lengthening of the tibia and femurs.
Device Story
System comprises modular implantable intramedullary rod (distracting rod), locking screws, and external remote controller (ERC). Rod contains rare earth magnet, telescoping lead screw/nut assembly, and gearing. ERC is electrically powered, non-invasive adjustment component. Physician or patient operates ERC in home environment to non-invasively lengthen implanted rod via magnetic coupling. Output is controlled mechanical distraction of bone. Benefits include non-invasive limb lengthening, reducing need for repeated surgical interventions. System used for tibia and femur lengthening.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical trials performed. Evidence consists of a usability study on 30 subjects to evaluate ERC operation in a representative patient population for home use, alongside bench testing including risk management, minimum rated voltage, shock/vibration, and ingress protection per IEC 60601-1-11:2010.
Technological Characteristics
Modular intramedullary rod with rare earth magnet, telescoping lead screw/nut assembly, and gearing. ERC is electrically powered. Materials include unspecified metals for rods and screws. Sterilization: Gamma for actuator; non-sterile for extension rods/screws (requires sterilization). Standards: EN ISO 14971:2007 (risk management), IEC 60601-1-11:2010 (home healthcare electrical systems).
Indications for Use
Indicated for limb lengthening of the tibia and femurs in patients requiring such procedures.
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.

રે. Product Description:
The Ellipse PRECICE Intramedullary Limb Lengthening System is composed of a modular implantable intramedullary rod ("Distracting Rod"), locking screws, an external remote controller (ERC), and surgical implantation tools and accessories. The modular implantable rod is available in different configurations, lengths, and diameters to accommodate a variety of patient anatomies. Likewise, the locking screws are available in two different diameters and a variety of lengths from 20 mm to 75 mm in 5 mm increments. The distracting rod is a modular system that includes the PRECICE Actuator component and various configurations of PRECICE Extension Rods. The PRECICE Actuator includes an enclosed rare earth magnet, telescoping lead screw/nut assembly and gearing. The PRECICE Actuator is supplied sterile by gamma sterilization while the

PRECICE IMLL Extension Rods, locking screws, and reusable accessories are supplied non-sterile and must be sterilized prior to use.
The External Remote Controller (ERC) is a non-invasive adjustment component of the system. The ERC is electrically powered and is used for non-invasive lengthening of the implanted rod. The ERC can be used by the physician or by the patient in the home environment to perform lengthening.
#### 6. Indications
The Ellipse PRECICE Intramedullary Limb Lengthening System is indicated for limb lengthening of the tibia and femurs.
#### 7. Substantial equivalence
Documentation demonstrates substantial equivalence to the Ellipse Intramedullary Limb Lengthening System cleared under K101997 (cleared on July 12, 2011). The purpose of this premarket notification is to include additional labeling materials for the Home Use of the ERC by the patient. Therefore, data provided in this submission only includes information relevant to the Home Use of the ERC by the patient. Substantial equivalence is based on similar indications for use, designs, in vitro testing, and Usability evaluations performed. The in vitro evaluations included specific tests performed on the ERC to demonstrate the suitability of the ERC for use in the home by the patient. In addition, Usability evaluation of the ERC in a representative population was performed to demonstrate its suitability for use in the proposed patient population and in accordance with the indications.
With the exception of the Home Use of the External Remote Controller by the patient, the implant and the accessories to the system are identical between the Ellipse PRECICE IMLL System and the predicate described in K101997.
No changes in the design of the implant are included in this premarket submission. Specifically, the Ellipse PRECICE IMLL System and the predicate devices are both

designed to be implanted into the medullary canal of the femur or tibia. These devices are available in a variety of geometrical configurations and diameters/lengths to accommodate a variety of patient anatomies. Both devices are designed as a telescoping rod that can be lengthened non-invasively with the use of the ERC.
The Ellipse PRECICE IMLL System was developed and evaluated in accordance with recognized standards and with in-house developed test methodologies. This testing includes risk assessment of the device specific to the home use, additional testing to applicable IEC standards for home use of medical electrical systems for use in the home healthcare environment, and a usability study undertaken on 30 subjects to evaluate the usability of the ERC in an equivalent patient population. Risk analysis for the home use of the device, labeling for the home use of the ERC, and test results are included in this premarket notification. The results of testing demonstrate that the Ellipse PRECICE IMLL System that is the subject of this premarket notification is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
The following documentation and testing have been included in order to establish equivalence to the predicate device. Substantial equivalence is focused on the Home Use aspect of the ERC. Testing includes a usability evaluation for the Home Use of the ERC by the patient, minimum rated voltage testing, shock and vibration testing, and ingress protection testing performed in accordance with IEC 60601-1-11;2010. The following tests have been performed in order to establish equivalence to the predicate device:
