Intended Use
This implant is indicated as a temporary implant to aid in the healing of long diaphysis fractures, malunions and nonunions and to prevent further fractures in femur, tibia and humerus in pediatric patients suffering from Osteogenesis Imperfecta without disrupting the bone growth plate. It can be used in procedures such as bone lengthening/shortening concomitantly with external fixators in pediatric or small stature patients with limb length discrepancy.
Device Story
Telescopic intramedullary (IM) fixation rod system; designed for pediatric long bone stabilization. Device consists of two sliding components: female component (proximal/trochanteric cortex attachment) and male component (distal cortex attachment). Components anchored via screw-type fixation. Telescopic design allows length extension during bone healing and patient growth without disrupting growth plates. Used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical settings. System provides mechanical support for bone healing and fracture prevention. This submission introduces gamma-sterilized stainless steel components (diameters 3.2mm–6.4mm) to an existing non-sterile product line.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is based on identical design, materials, and intended use to predicate devices, supported by non-clinical verification of the new sterilization and packaging process.
Technological Characteristics
Telescopic intramedullary rod; stainless steel construction; screw-type fixation. Telescopic mechanism allows longitudinal expansion. Sterilization: Gamma irradiation for subject components; end-user sterilization for others. Bacterial Endotoxin Testing per ANSI/AAMI ST72:2019.
Indications for Use
Indicated for pediatric patients with Osteogenesis Imperfecta requiring fixation of long diaphysis fractures, malunions, nonunions, or fracture prevention in femur, tibia, and humerus. Also indicated for bone lengthening/shortening in pediatric or small stature patients with limb length discrepancy.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An intramedullary fixation rod is a device intended to be implanted that consists of a rod made of alloys such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum and stainless steel. It is inserted into the medullary (bone marrow) canal of long bones for the fixation of fractures.

Dear Enrique Garcia:
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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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.

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 Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part

#### Indications for Use:
This implant is indicated as a temporary implant to aid in the healing of long diaphysis fractures, ostectomies, malunions and nonunions and to prevent further fractures in femur, tibia and humerus in pediatric patients suffering from Osteogenesis Imperfecta without disrupting the bone growth plate. It can be used in procedures such as bone lengthening concomitantly with external fixators in pediatric or small stature patients with limb length discrepancy.
# Description:
The Fassier-Duval Telescopic IM System is a telescopic rod for use in fixation of long bone fractures. The design of the nail includes a female component (which is attached to the proximal -trochanteric- cortex of the bone) and a male component (which is attached to the distal cortex of the bone). Anchorage of the components is achieved through screw-type fixation. The nail is composed of two sliding components that allow for extension of its length as the bone structures heal and normal patient growth occurs. The Peqa Medical Fassier-Duval Telescopic IM System can be attached to bony structures without disrupting the bone growth plates.
This Special 510(k) Premarket Notification is submitted for the additional offering of gamma sterilized Ø3.2 – Ø6.4 stainless steel Fassier-Duval implant components. All subject components have previously been cleared as non-sterile implants. All other components of the Fassier-Duval Telescopic IM System will remain non-sterile to be sterilized by end-user.
# Basis for substantial equivalence:
The technological characteristics (materials, design, sizing) of the Fassier-Duval Telescopic IM System are identical to the predicate Pega Medical Fassier-Duval Telescopic IM System (K020885 & K041393).
The rationale for substantial equivalence is based on consideration of the following characteristics:
- Intended Use: The intended use is identical to the predicate (K020885 & K041393). ●
- Indications for Use: Indications for Use are identical to the predicate (K020885 & K041393). ●
{4}------------------------------------------------
- Materials: Materials are identical to the predicate (K020885 & K041393). ●
- Design Features: Design features are identical to the predicate (K020885 & K041393). ●
- . Function: The function is identical to the predicate (K020885 & K041393).
- . Sterilization: The proposed Fassier-Duval Telescopic IM System seeks to add sterile packaged nails for distribution. All subject components have previously been cleared as non-sterile implants. All other components will remain non-sterilized by end-user.
#### Non-clinical Performance Data:
No significant design changes have been made since the previous submission. Gamma sterilization validation, sterile packaging validation, integrity of the sterile barrier over time validation, and rinsing validation were performed to qualify the new packaging and sterilization method for the Fassier-Duval Telescopic IM system. Bacterial Endotoxin Testing was conducted in accordance with ANSI/AAM ST72:2019.
#### Clinical Performance Data:
No clinical testing is provided as a basis for substantial equivalence.
#### Conclusion:
Pega Medical has established that the Fassier-Duval Telescopic IM System is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predical Fassier-Duval Telescopic IM System (K020885 & K041393) based on the similarities of design, intended use, materials, sizing. Risk analysis and design control activities including verification activities were conducted to mitigate identified new risks associated with packaged sterile devices.
