Intended Use
The Lorenz Twist Drills are intended to be used for drilling holes in bone during neurosurgical procedures.
Device Story
The 2.1 x 255mm Drill, 22mm Stop is a surgical drill bit used to create holes in bone during neurosurgical procedures. It is designed for attachment to either a manual instrument handle or a powered handpiece/drill motor. The device is now compatible with neurosurgical stereotactic instrument systems. It is a single-use, non-sterile device intended for use by neurosurgeons in a clinical or operating room setting. The drill bit facilitates precise bone access, aiding the surgeon in performing neurosurgical interventions. The device is provided non-sterile and requires sterilization by the end-user prior to use.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance was validated through tolerance analysis confirming dimensional compatibility with stereotactic placement devices and summative usability testing conducted per IEC 62366-1:2015+A1:2020, which demonstrated safe and effective use with neurosurgical stereotactic instruments.
Technological Characteristics
Material: medical grade stainless steel per ASTM F899. Form factor: drill bit with 22mm stop. Connectivity: mechanical interface for manual handles or powered handpieces; compatible with stereotactic instrument systems. Sterilization: provided non-sterile; requires end-user sterilization.
Indications for Use
Indicated for drilling holes in bone during neurosurgical procedures. Intended for prescription use.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
Powered simple cranial drills, burrs, trephines, and their accessories are bone cutting and drilling instruments used on a patient's skull. The instruments are used with a power source but do not have a clutch mechanism to disengage the tip after penetrating the skull.

Dear Danielle Besal:
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.

# Device Description:
Biomet Microfixation Twist Drills are drill bits which can either be attached to a manual instrument handle or attached to a powered handpiece/drill motor and used to drill holes in bone in neurosurgical procedures. The 2.1 x 255mm Drill, 22mm Stop is manufactured from medical grade stainless steel per ASTM F899. The subject drill bit is intended for single use only and is provided non-sterilized by the end-user prior to use. The subject submission seeks to add the compatibility of the 2.1 x 255mm Drill, 22mm Stop drill with neurosurgical stereotactic instrument systems.
#### Indications for Use:
The Lorenz Twist Drills are intended to be used for drilling holes in bone during neurosurgical procedures.
#### Substantial Equivalence:
The subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate Biomet Microfixation; 2.1 x 255mm Drill, 22mm Stop (K213072). The subject and predicate devices are identical in intended use, technological characteristics, and materials. The addition of compatibility with
{4}------------------------------------------------
stereotactic instruments does not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness as they are intended for use with generic instrumentation, such as the subject drill, and this compatibility does not impact the drill's intended use or mechanism of action.
### Performance Testing:
Tolerance analysis and summative usability testing were conducted on the subject device and successfully verified and validated compatibility with stereotactic instrument systems.
| Test | Test Method Summary | Results |
|-----------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Tolerance Analysis | Dimensional analyses were conducted to<br>determine if the drill is compatible with<br>the neurosurgical stereotactic placement<br>devices. | The tolerance analyses showed that the<br>subject device dimensions are compatible<br>with the dimensions of the neurosurgical<br>stereotactic placement devices; thus, the<br>subject drill bit mates effectively. |
| Summative Usability<br>Validation | Summative usability evaluations were<br>conducted in accordance with IEC 62366-<br>1:2015+A1:2020. | The acceptance criteria were met and the<br>results demonstrated the subject device<br>can be used safely and effectively with<br>neurosurgical stereotactic instrument. |
# Conclusion:
Based on the summary of design control activities, the subject device is determined to be substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
