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.

Summary of performance testing: The pull out strength, Torsional Strength, Screw In and Out and Pull Out Based Fatique test were measured for the smallest dia. i.e. 7 mm Auxilock Titanium Interference Screws. The above test were also performed for the samples of Titanium Interference Screw of Parcus Medical and results of these test demonstrated that there were no significant differences between both the devices. Bacterial endotoxins for the implantable components are determined using LAL testing to meet endotoxin limit specifications. Biocompatibility testing of the samples has been conducted as per EN ISO 10993-1. We have performed accelerated and real-time studies as per EN ISO 11607-1:2009. Reference device for shelf-life and packaging is already approved by USFDA (K201457) and the scoped device (Auxilock Titanium Interference Screw) contains same packaging material as that of K201457. #### Conclusion: #### General, Safety and Performance conclusion: | S.No. | Parameter of Conclusion | Proposed Device | Predicate Device | |-------|--------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------------| | 1. | Product Code | MBI, HWC | Same | | 2. | Regulation Number | 21 CFR 888.3040. | Same | | 3. | Regulatory Class | Class II | Same | | 4. | Intended Use | The Auxilock Titanium Interference Screw is indicated for use in the fixation of ligaments and tendons in patients requiring ligament or tendon repair. | Similar Intended Use | | 5. | Sterilization | Same method of sterilization used in both New Device as well as Predicate device. | Same | | 6. | Mechanical Test Performance | Pull out strength, Torsional Strength, Screw In and Out and Pull Out Based Fatigue test. | Same | {7}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/7/Picture/0 description: The image shows the word "Auxein" in blue font.
