Intended Use
The OIC External Fixation system is intended to be used in adult and pediatic patients for provisional fixation of open and or unstable fractures in the lower and upper extremities and pelvis. It may also be used for temporary fixation of periarticular or intra-articular fractures. Additionally, the device can be used on fractures where soft tissue injury or an infected fracture site may preclude the use of other fracture fixation treatments.
Device Story
External fixation system for stabilization of bone fractures; consists of carbon fiber composite bars, titanium/aluminum clamps, and stainless steel pins/posts. Pins implanted into bone; connected via clamps, rods, and posts to form rigid construct holding bone fragments in place. Used by surgeons in clinical settings for provisional or temporary fracture fixation. Benefits include stabilization of fractures where soft tissue injury or infection precludes internal fixation.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. FEA simulations and mechanical static axial load testing were performed in accordance with ASTM F1541-02 to evaluate clamping ability and structural integrity compared to predicate devices.
Technological Characteristics
Materials: carbon fiber composite (bars), titanium and aluminum (clamps), stainless steel (pins/posts). Components: 11mm diameter bars (100-600mm), 4mm/5mm pins, clamps, and posts. Mechanical fixation principle. Non-powered, manual assembly. Sterilization not specified.
Indications for Use
Indicated for adult and pediatric patients requiring provisional fixation of open/unstable fractures of lower/upper extremities and pelvis, or temporary fixation of peri-articular/intra-articular fractures, including cases with soft tissue injury or infected fracture sites.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
Single/multiple component metallic bone fixation appliances and accessories are devices intended to be implanted consisting of one or more metallic components and their metallic fasteners. The devices contain a plate, a nail/plate combination, or a blade/plate combination that are made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, stainless steel, and titanium, that are intended to be held in position with fasteners, such as screws and nails, or bolts, nuts, and washers. These devices are used for fixation of fractures of the proximal or distal end of long bones, such as intracapsular, intertrochanteric, intercervical, supracondylar, or condylar fractures of the femur; for fusion of a joint; or for surgical procedures that involve cutting a bone. The devices may be implanted or attached through the skin so that a pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system.

Dear Douglas Fulton:
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 (21 CFR
{1}------------------------------------------------
Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical devicerelated adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Division of Industry and Consumer Education (DICE) at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 796-7100 or at its Internet address

Comparison of Technological Characteristics (Substantial Equivalence): Predicate devices: K110965 Renovis T 710 Large External Fixation System K072212 Jet-X Bar System Clamps, Bars and Posts - MR Conditional K952730 Hoffman II External Fixation System K061493 Apex Pins K031428 Synthes Large External Fixation Clamps The OIC External Fixation System has the following similarities to those which previously received 510(k)
concurrence: has the same indicated use, uses the same operating principle, incorporates the same design and incorporates the same or similar materials
Performance Testing:
FEA simulations were conducted using methods outlined in ASTM F1541-02 to ascertain that the clamping ability of the OIC clamps have acceptable mechanical characteristics for the intended uses. Mechanical static axial load testing performed per ASTM F1541-02 determined that the device will withstand greater loads than the predicate device.
Conclusion:
The OIC External Fixation System described in this substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
