Intended Use

The OsteoMed smartflex Cranial Spring Distraction System is intended for use in the treatment of cranial conditions such as syndromic craniosynostosis and congenital deficiencies in which osteotomies and gradual bone distraction are indicated. This device is intended to provide temporary stabilization and gradual lengthening of the cranial bones. This device is intended to be removed after consolidation. The OsteoMed smartflex Cranial Spring Distraction System is intended for single patient use only.

Device Story

The OsteoMed smartflex Cranial Spring Distraction System is an internal distraction osteogenesis device used in pediatric cranial surgery. It consists of stainless steel distractors anchored to the cranium via hook feet. Unlike traditional threaded-rod distractors that require manual activation by a surgeon or parent, this device applies continuous spring force to the skull bones to facilitate gradual remodeling and lengthening of prematurely closed sutures. The system includes auxiliary instruments (pliers, benders, cutters) for placement. The device is implanted during surgery and removed after bone consolidation. It provides a passive, continuous distraction mechanism compared to the active, manual distraction of predicate systems. Clinical benefits include gradual bone expansion for cranial conditions; the device is intended for single-patient use.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical trials were conducted for this submission. Substantial equivalence is supported by bench testing, including Finite Element Analysis (FEA) comparing stress on infant cranial bone against the predicate, and verification of spring geometry and force targets using optical comparators. Additionally, the manufacturer provided retrospective clinical data from literature regarding 91 cases of cranial spring distraction (performed by a physician) to verify distraction rates and safety profiles, showing a mean distraction rate of 1.39mm/day.

Technological Characteristics

Internal distractor made of medical grade stainless steel (ASTM F-138). Distraction mechanism utilizes continuous spring force rather than manual threaded rods. Anchored to cranial bone via hook feet. Provided sterile via gamma sterilization. Dimensions allow for a maximum distraction distance of 55mm.

Indications for Use

Indicated for pediatric patients, infants aged 1 month to 2 years, with syndromic craniosynostosis or congenital cranial deficiencies requiring osteotomy and gradual bone distraction for temporary stabilization and lengthening.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A preformed nonalterable cranioplasty plate is a device that is implanted in a patient to repair a skull defect and is constructed of a material, e.g., stainless steel or vitallium, that cannot be altered or reshaped at the time of surgery without changing the chemical behavior of the material.

The overall design is simple and professional. {1}------------------------------------------------ #### Device Description: The OsteoMed smartflex Cranial Spring Distraction System is a distraction osteogenesis system consisting of distractors in various sizes. The distractor is anchored to the cranium by the distractor foot plate. The distractor gradually distracts the bone segments by applying a continuous force to the bones of the skull facilitating remodeling to expand the prematurely closed suture. The distractors are removed after consolidation. The instruments used with the system are pliers, benders, plate cutters and other instruments to facilitate the placement and removal of the OsteoMed smartflex cranial spring distractors. The OsteoMed smartflex Cranial Spring Distractors are made from Medical Grade Stainless Steel per ASTM F-138. #### Indications For Use/Intended Use: The OsteoMed smartflex Cranial Spring Distraction System is intended for use in the treatment of cranial conditions such as syndromic craniosynostosis and congenital deficiencies in which osteotomies and gradual bone distraction are indicated. This device is intended to provide temporary stabilization and gradual lengthening of the cranial bones. This device is intended to be removed after consolidation. The OsteoMed smartflex Cranial Spring Distraction System is intended for single patient use only. Intended use is equivalent to the OsteoMed Cranial Distraction System and the KLS-Martin predicate devices. #### Target Population: Pediatrics; Sub-population - Infant greater than 1 month to 2 years of age #### Technological Characteristics: The OsteoMed and KLS predicate devices are internal distractors for bone elongation, which distracts manually via a threaded rod and are anchored using bone screws. The KLS distractor predicate has hook feet which anchor to the cranial bone edge and uses bone screws to anchor to the cranial bone. The OsteoMed smartflex Cranial Spring Distractor is also an internal distractor for bone elongation as the predicate devices, but it distracts via continuous spring force and is anchored by hook feet to the cranial bone edge. Material used for the OsteoMed smartflex Cranial Spring Distractor is medical grade stainless steel. The material used for the OsteoMed External Mandibular Distraction System (K063792) implantable K-wires, which are implanted during distraction, are medical grade stainless steel. The stainless steel material used in the OsteoMed smartflex Cranial Spring Distractor and the OsteoMed Implantable K-wire is biocompatible.

The word is enclosed in a black, oval shape that curves above and below the text. The logo appears to be a company logo or brand name. #### Performance / Clinical Data: The OsteoMed smartflex Cranial Spring Distraction System was compared to the distraction rates and verified forces of the OsteoMed Cranial Distraction System. Verification testing consisted of the following tests; - . Finite Element Analysis of Forces Applied to Adjacent bone simulating infant skull properties for the Cranial Vault Distractor Predicate and the OsteoMed SmartFlex Cranial Spring Distractor were created. The results show that both devices exerted a stress on the cranial bone below the vield strength of infant cranial bone. The stress on the cranial bone for the Cranial Spring Distractor was 80% below the stress on the cranial bone of the Cranial Distractor (predicate). - Distraction distance was evaluated graphically using clinical data obtained by . surgeons with cranial spring devices similar to our device. The data included 91 clinical cases performed on infants ranging in age from 3 - 8.5 months with cranial springs manufactured by a physician in cranial distraction, 31 cases reached 55mm of distraction and 60 cases went safely beyond 55mm with only one clinical complication, a skin infection and 3 spring related complications (repositioning of the springs). The maximum possible distraction distance of the OsteoMed Cranial Spring Distractor is 55mm because that is the maximum length at free state that does not compromise patient safety. - Distraction rate was obtained from the clinical data and distraction rates . compared to the predicate. The distraction rate on average with a six week duration was 1.39mm per day. - The OsteoMed smartflex Cranial Spring Device design was verified to prove the . spring geometry and force targets were met as described in the literature. Spring geometry was verified using an optical comparator and the implants were compressed between the footplates to simulate initial force at implantation, where the force was measured. The indications for use of the OsteoMed smartflex Cranial Spring Distraction System are the same as the OsteoMed Cranial Distraction System (K121304) and KLS-Martin Molina Distraction System (K003883) predicate devices. Clinical Testing is not required to support substantial equivalence. In conclusion, the device is safe and effective and performs as well as the OsteoMed Cranial Distraction System and the KLS-Martin predicate devices. #### Substantial Equivalence: Substantial equivalence for this device is based on similarities in intended use, indications for use, function, performance, and operational principle to the predicate devices, OsteoMed Cranial Distraction System (K121304) and KLS-Martin Molina Distraction System (K003883), based on their promotional materials, labeling and clearance letters. The basis for substantial equivalence for this device is also on similarities in materials with the OsteoMed External Mandibular Distraction System (K063792) implantable Stainless Steel K-wires base on their promotional materials, labeling and clearance letters. The system is provided sterile based on the predicate device (K922211) Sterilization Testing.
