Intended Use

The Nexis® osteosynthesis compressive screws are single use devices intended for the fixing and stabilizing the elective osteotomies of the mid foot bones and the metatarsal and phalanges of the foot only.

Device Story

Nexis® osteosynthesis snap-off screws are single-use, non-cannulated bone fixation devices. Designed for permanent implantation to provide compression and support osseous restoration in foot surgery. Operated by surgeons in clinical settings. Device functions as a mechanical fastener; no software or electronic components. Benefits include secure stabilization of bone segments following elective osteotomies.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data or animal studies were required for this submission. Substantial equivalence is supported by bench testing, including biocompatibility evaluation per ISO 10993-1 and mechanical testing per ASTM F543-13.

Technological Characteristics

Material: Titanium Alloy (Ti-6Al-4V ELI) per ISO 5832-3. Mechanical testing per ASTM F543-13. Non-cannulated, snap-off design. Single-use. No software, energy source, or connectivity.

Indications for Use

Indicated for fixing and stabilizing elective osteotomies of mid foot bones, metatarsals, and phalanges of the foot.

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.

Predicate Devices

• Memometal Fixos screws (K070039)

Dear Mr. Audic:

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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to 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

| Intended use | The Nexis® osteosynthesis compressive screws are single use devices<br>intended for the fixing and stabilizing the elective osteotomies of the mid<br>foot bones and the metatarsal and phalanges of the foot only. |
| Comparison of the<br>technological<br>characteristics with the<br>predicate device | The new devices Nexis® osteosynthesis snap-off screws have similar<br>technological characteristics in terms of material (ISO 5832-3 Implants For<br>Surgery -- Metallic Materials -- Part 3: Wrought Titanium 6-Aluminium 4-<br>Vanadium Alloy) and mechanical characteristics (ASTM F543-13 Standard<br>Specification and Test Methods for Metallic Medical Bone Screws) and<br>thus are believed to be substantially equivalent to the predicate<br>Memometal Fixos screws (device reference: W-Fix) (K070039). |
| Performance data | The biocompatibility evaluation for new devices Nexis® osteosynthesis<br>snap-off screws was conducted in accordance with Blue Book<br>Memorandum #G95-1 (Use of International Standard ISO-10993,<br>'Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices Part 1: Evaluation and Testing)"<br>and International Standard ISO 10993-1 (Biological Evaluation of Medical<br>Devices - Part 1: Evaluation and Testing Within a Risk Management<br>Process) as recognized by FDA.<br>The new devices Nexis® osteosynthesis snap-off screws have similar<br>technological characteristics in terms of design and mechanical<br>characteristics (Driving and removal torque, pull-out strength, torsional<br>resistance) and thus are believed to be substantially equivalent to the<br>predicate Memometal Fixos screws (device reference: W-Fix) (K070039). |
| Indication for use | The Nexis® osteosynthesis compressive screws are single use devices<br>indicated for the fixing and stabilizing the elective osteotomies of the mid<br>foot bones and the metatarsal and phalanges of the foot only. |
| Clinical studies | Clinical studies were not required for this submission |
| Animal Studies | Animal Studies were not required for this submission |
| Conclusion | Nexis® osteosynthesis snap-off screws are substantially equivalent to<br>their predicate devices Memometal Fixos screws (device reference: W-<br>Fix) (K070039), in terms of intended use and indications for use, material,<br>design and function. Any minor differences between these two devices<br>do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness. |
