• Device Name: N-FORCE FIXATION SYSTEM
• Applicant: Innovision, Inc.
• Product Code: HWC · Orthopedic
• Decision Date: Mar 6, 2014
• Decision: SESE
• Submission Type: Traditional
• Regulation: 21 CFR 888.3040
• Device Class: Class 2
• Attributes: Therapeutic

Intended Use

The N-Force Fixation System is intended for the fixation of bone fractures and bone reconstructions. When used for these indications, the N-Force Fixation System can also be used to deliver the following bone void fillers to a surgical site: - Beta-bsm (ETEX Corporation) - CarriGen (ETEX Corporation)

Device Story

N-Force Fixation System consists of metallic bone screws and associated surgical instruments; used for fixation of bone fractures and reconstructions. Screws are cannulated and/or fenestrated; function as delivery conduits for specific bone void fillers (Beta-bsm, CarriGen). Operated by surgeons in clinical/surgical settings. Mechanical fixation provides structural stability; delivery capability allows localized application of bone void fillers to surgical site. Benefits include stabilization of bone segments and facilitated bone reconstruction. Substantial equivalence established via mechanical testing (static three-point bending, torsion, extraction) and engineering analysis compared to predicate.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Mechanical testing included static three-point bending, static torsion, and extraction testing. Engineering analyses supported equivalence of non-fenestrated screws. Additional testing confirmed the system's ability to deliver bone void filler material compared to ETEX recommended instruments.

Technological Characteristics

Materials: Titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) conforming to ASTM F136. Design: Cannulated and/or fenestrated screw system with accompanying instruments. Energy source: None (mechanical). Connectivity: None. Sterilization: Not specified.

Indications for Use

Indicated for fixation of bone fractures and bone reconstructions in patients requiring surgical stabilization. Can be used to deliver ETEX Beta-bsm or CarriGen bone void fillers to the surgical site.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A smooth or threaded metallic bone fixation fastener is a device intended to be implanted that consists of a stiff wire segment or rod made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum and stainless steel, and that may be smooth on the outside, fully or partially threaded, straight or U-shaped; and may be either blunt pointed, sharp pointed, or have a formed, slotted head on the end. It may be used for fixation of bone fractures, for bone reconstructions, as a guide pin for insertion of other implants, or it may be implanted through the skin so that a pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system.

### Reason for Special 510(k) Submission:

The purpose of this Special 510(k) is to add new sizes and components to the N-Force Fixation System. There have been no changes to the intended use of the device or its fundamental scientific technology.

#### Indications For Use:

The N-Force Fixation System is intended for the fixation of bone fractures and bone reconstructions. When used for these indications, the N-Force Fixation System can also be used to deliver the following bone void fillers to a surgical site:

- . Beta-bsm (ETEX Corporation)
- . CarriGen (ETEX Corporation)

### Device Description:

The N-Force Fixation System is a screw system fixation. It includes fully and partially cannulated screws in various diameters and lengths, and accompanying instruments.

The N-Force Fixation System implants are made of titanium alloy (Ti-6A1-4V) conforming to ASTM F136. The N-Force Fixation System screws are cannulated and/or

{1}------------------------------------------------

fenestrated and can be used as a delivery system for ETEX Beta-bsm and ETEX CarriGen bone void fillers.

#### Predicate Device:

The modified N-Force Fixation System is substantially equivalent to the predicate N-Force Fixation System (K102528) with respect to indications, design, function, performance and materials.

#### Substantial Equivalence:

Testing was performed on the modified N-Force Screw compared to the predicate N-Force Screw, and the results demonstrate that it is substantially equivalent to the predicate device. Mechanical testing of the modified screw included static three-point bending, static torsion and extraction testing, Engineering analyses were also provided in support of the non-fenestrated screws' substantial equivalence. Additional testing was performed to demonstrate the substantial equivalence of the N-Force Fixation System to the ETEX recommended instruments with respect to their ability to deliver bone void filler material.

Dear Ms. McDonough:

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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
