Intended Use

The Tornier ForeFoot STP Screw System is indicated for fixation of fractures, fusions, and osteotomies of bones of the hand and foot.

Device Story

ForeFoot STP System consists of metallic bone screws of varying diameters, lengths, and thread configurations. Used by orthopedic surgeons for internal fixation of fractures, fusions, and osteotomies in hand and foot surgery. Screws provide mechanical stabilization of bone segments to facilitate healing. Device is implanted during surgical procedures; no external processing or software-based analysis involved.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. No clinical data provided. Testing included cross-sectional bending analysis, axial pull-out, torsional strength, insertion torque, and removal torque.

Technological Characteristics

Titanium alloy bone fixation screws. Features various diameters, lengths, and thread configurations. Mechanical fixation principle. Class II device (21 CFR 888.3040).

Indications for Use

Indicated for fixation of fractures, fusions, and osteotomies of hand and foot bones in patients requiring bone fixation.

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.

Dear Mr. Hockett:

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.

| Device Description: | The submission is regarding the ForeFoot STP System. This system consists of<br>screws of various diameters, lengths and thread configurations. |
| Indications for Use: | The Tornier ForeFoot STP Screw System is indicated for fixation of fractures,<br>fusions, and osteotomies of bones of the hand and foot. |
| Substantial Equivalence: | The Tornier ForeFoot STP screws are substantially equivalent to the previously<br>cleared predicate devices. Cross-sectional bending analysis and mechanical<br>axial pull-out testing comparing the strength of the subject and predicate<br>devices was performed and the results support substantial equivalence.<br>Mechanical testing was completed to ensure that the torsional strength,<br>insertion torque, and removal torque are appropriate for the potential<br>applications of the device. Due to similarities in indications, design, and<br>materials, no other testing was required; therefore, the subject device was<br>demonstrated to be as safe and effective as the above predicates. |
