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.

## Device Description

Zimed Distal Medial Tibial Plate and Screw System is used for complex extra-articular and intraarticular distal tibial fractures, and osteotomies surgeries specifically designed for the anatomical alignment of the broken bones and to provide splinting with the ability to ensure the early mobility of the patient. Zimed plate and screw system is implantable device in long term contact with bones.

Zimed Distal Medial Tibial Plate and Screw System will be supplied non-sterile.

### Indications for Use

The Zimed Distal Medial Tibial Plate and Screw System is indicated for fixation of complex extraarticular and intra-articular distal medial tibial fractures and osteotomies.

### Intended Use – Comparison of the subject device with Primary & Reference Predicate Devices

The subject device, Zimed Distal Medial Tibial Plate and Screw System, has similar intended use and indication for use to the primary predicate Synthes (USA) LCP Distal Tibia Plate (K013248), and reference predicate, HEMC BRAND Locking Bone Plates and Screws Osteosynthesis Plating System, HEMC BRAND of DHS Plating system (K222282)

## Technological Characteristics - Comparison with the primary predicate, Synthes (USA) LCP Distal Tibia Plate (K013248) and reference predicate, HEMC BRAND Locking Bone Plates and Screws Osteosynthesis Plating System, HEMC BRAND of DHS Plating system (K222282)

The technological characteristics comparison demonstrated that the subject device, the Plate and Screw System are substantially equivalent in intended uses, designs, materials, and operational principles to the previously cleared predicate devices, respectively.

#### Basis of Substantial Equivalence

The substantial equivalence of the subject device was determined per the FDA guidance document, "The 510(k) program: evaluating substantial equivalence in premarket Notification [510(k)]." The analysis of the technological characteristics, which include design, material composition and other device features, as defined in section 513(i)(1)(B) of the FD&C Act and 21 CFR 807.100(b)(2) (ii)(A), demonstrated that the Plate and Screw System are substantially equivalent to the identified predicate devices, respectively.

Zimed Distal Medial Tibial Plate and Screw System are substantially equivalent to the respective predicates. Comparison to the predicates does not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness. The performance testing, device comparisons, and feature analysis

{5}------------------------------------------------

demonstrate that the subject device is substantially equivalent to the identified predicate devices, respectively.

#### Performance Testing

The performance tests on the subject device were conducted in accordance with ASTM F382, ASTM F136 and ASTM F543 standards. Performance test reports confirmed that the subject device, Zimed Distal Medial Tibial Plate and Screw System, and the reference predicate, HEMC BRAND Locking Bone Plates and Screws Osteosynthesis Plating System, HEMC BRAND of DHS Plating system (K222282) meet ASTM F136 and ASTM F543 and used the same test methodology as the required specifications. We utilized the FDA guidance "Orthopedic Non-Spinal Metallic Bone Screws and Washers – Performance Criteria for Safety and Performance Based Pathway" for the screw testing, and the FDA guidance, "Orthopedic Fracture Fixation Plates - Performance Criteria for Safety and Performance Based Pathway" for the plate testing. Therefore, the subject device is substantially equivalent to the respective predicates' devices identified throughout this submission.

#### Substantial Equivalence Conclusion

Zimed Distal Medial Tibial Plate and Screw System has similar intended use, material comparison, design, operational principle, and equivalent technological characteristics to the respective predicate devices. The non-clinical performance test reports support the safety, effectiveness and performance of the subject device and demonstrate that any difference in technological characteristics and material composition do not raise any new questions of safety and effectiveness. Therefore, the subject device is substantially equivalent to the respective predicate devices.
