Intended Use
The Gamma4 System is intended to achieve functionally stable osteosyntheses and stabilization of bones and bone fragments. The Gamma3 System is intended to achieve functionally stable osteosyntheses and stabilization of bones and bone fragments. The IMN Screws System is intended to stabilize the intramedullary nail-bone construct for temporary stabilization. The T2 Tibial Locking Nail is intended to provide temporary stabilization of various types of fractures, malunions and nonunion of the tibia. The nails are inserted using an opened or closed technique and can be statically, dynamically and compressed locked.
Device Story
Gamma4, Gamma3, IMN Screws, and T2 Tibial Nailing systems are orthopedic intramedullary fixation devices. Implants (nails, lag screws, end caps) are inserted into bone to provide mechanical stabilization for fractures, deformities, or nonunions. Operated by orthopedic surgeons in clinical/surgical settings. Devices provide structural support to bone fragments during healing. Gamma4/Gamma3 are hip fracture nailing systems; T2 is for tibial fractures. IMN screws stabilize nail-bone constructs. Benefit: restoration of bone alignment and stability to facilitate healing. No software or AI components involved.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence supported by non-clinical bench testing, including construct fatigue strength, cut-out testing, targeting accuracy, induced displacement, induced torque, RF heating, and image artifacts, performed in accordance with ASTM F1264.
Technological Characteristics
Implants manufactured from titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V ELI, ASTM F136) and stainless steel (ASTM F1586). Targeting devices use stainless steel (AISI 431), carbon fiber reinforced PEEK, and unreinforced PEEK. Mechanical fixation via intramedullary rods and locking screws. No software, electronics, or energy sources.
Indications for Use
Indicated for treatment of stable/unstable fractures, stabilization of bones, and correction of bone deformities in intracapsular, trochanteric, subtrochanteric, and shaft regions of the femur (including osteoporotic/osteopenic bone). T2 Tibial Nailing System indicated for long bone fracture fixation (tibial), including open/closed fractures, pseudoarthrosis, correction osteotomy, pathologic fractures, impending pathologic fractures, tumor resections, nonunion, and malunion. U-Blade Lag Screw indicated for rotationally unstable fractures.
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.

## IV. DEVICE DESCRIPTION
This Traditional 510(k) submission is being supplied to the U.S. FDA to gain clearance to market the Gamma4 System and align labeling across the Gamma3 System, IMN Screws System and T2 Tibial Nailing System.
This submission encompasses multiple systems (Gamma4 System, Gamma3 System, IMN Screws and T2 Tibial Nailing System) that have similar intended use and/or will be used together during the surgical procedure.
The Gamma4 System is a hip fracture nailing system and includes sterile implants (Trochanteric and Long Nails in various diameters and sizes, Lag Screws, and End Caps) as well as non-sterile instruments (targeting devices). The nails, lag screws and end caps are made of titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V ELI) as per ASTM F136. The targeting device is manufactured from stainless steel per AISI 431, carbon fiber reinforced PEEK and PEEK unreinforced.
The Gamma4 System will be used with the existing Locking Screws and Advanced Locking Screws of IMN Screws System (K193308), the Distal Targeting Device Femur Antegrade and Adjusting Device Femur Antegrade of IMN Instruments System (K191271), the ADAPT Clip of the Gamma3 System (K200869) as well as the surgical instruments of T2 Tibia Nailing System (510(k) exempt devices).
## Gamma3 System
The Gamma3 System most recently cleared in K200869 is a hip fracture nailing system and includes sterile implants (Trochanteric Nails, Long Nails, standard Lag Screws, U-Blade Lag Screw set, distal locking screws, a set screw and end caps in various diameter and sizes) as well as non-sterile instruments (targeting devices).
The sterile implants (nails, set screw and end cap) are available in titanium allov (Ti-6Al-4V ELI) per ASTM F136 and stainless-steel alloy per ASTM F1586. The targeting devices are manufactured from stainless steel and carbon fiber reinforced PEEK.
{9}------------------------------------------------
The Gamma3 System is used with the IMN Ø5 mm locking screws most recently cleared in K193308 as well as other instruments associated with implantation of the Gamma3 System and standard Class I exempt surgical instruments.
## IMN Screws System
The IMN Screws System, most recently cleared in K193308, includes bone screws (Locking Screws and Advanced Locking Screws) that are inserted through the intramedullary nail to stabilize the nail-bone construct. The Ø5 mm Locking Screws and Advanced Locking Screws are inserted through the distal locking holes of the Gamma4 nails. All screws are made of titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V ELI) per ASTM F136. Refer to Attachment 15-5 for the list of devices that are compatible with the IMN Screws System.
## T2 Tibial Nailing System
The T2 Tibial Locking Nail, most recently cleared in K203819, is a cylindrical tube manufactured from titanium alloy and slightly bowed to accommodate the shape of the tibia. Locking screws, compression screws and various end caps are manufactured from titanium alloy and are used with the nails. The T2 Tibial Locking Nail is available in two versions, each differing from the other only in diameter, length and number and orientation of screw holes.
## V. INTENDED USE
#### Gamma4 System
The Gamma4 System is intended to achieve functionally stable osteosyntheses and stabilization of bones and bone fragments.
## Gamma3 System
