Intended Use
The KLS Martin Drill-Free MMF Screw is indicated for temporary stabilization of mandibular and maxillary fractures to maintain proper occlusion during surgery in adults and adolescents (age 12 and older) in whom permanent teeth have erupted.
Device Story
KLS Martin Drill-Free MMF Screw is a bone-borne, self-drilling screw used for maxillomandibular fixation (MMF). The device provides stabilization of mandibular and maxillary fractures and maintains proper occlusion during intraoperative bone fixation. The screw features a head with a hole for passing and securing ligature wire. It is manufactured from stainless steel (ASTM F138) and is available in threaded lengths of 2.0 x 8.0 mm to 2.0 x 12.0 mm. The device is applied by a surgeon during surgical procedures. It is available in both sterile and non-sterile configurations. The device benefits patients by providing stable fixation during fracture management.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data was required. Substantial equivalence was determined based on non-clinical bench testing, including comparative static and dynamic testing against the predicate, and mechanical testing (torsional strength, drive torque, pullout strength) per ASTM F543-23. Biocompatibility was confirmed per ISO 10993-1:2018. Sterilization validation was performed per ISO 11137-1:2015 and ISO 11137-2:2015 (VDmax25 method). Packaging validation was conducted per ISO 11607-1 and ASTM D7386. Endotoxin testing met specifications per ANSI/AAMI ST72:2019.
Technological Characteristics
Material: Stainless steel (ASTM F138). Design: Self-drilling, bone-borne screw with head hole for ligature wire. Dimensions: 2.0 x 8.0 mm to 2.0 x 12.0 mm. Sterilization: Gamma radiation (ISO 11137-1:2015, ISO 11137-2:2015). Packaging: PETG blister pack with Tyvek cover (ISO 11607-1, ASTM D7386).
Indications for Use
Indicated for temporary stabilization of mandibular and maxillary fractures to maintain proper occlusion during surgery in adults and adolescents (age 12 and older) with erupted permanent teeth.

Dear Liza Gordillo:
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 (the 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 available 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. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device"

#### Conclusion
The sterile KLS Martin Drill Free MMF Screw has the same principles of operation, and technological characteristics as the predicate devices. No new issues of safety or effectiveness have been raised.
#### Non-Clinical and/or Clinical Tests Summary & Conclusions 21 CFR 807.92(b)
#### Non-Clinical Performance Data
Comparative head-to-head static and dynamic bench testing was conducted on the subject and predicate (KLS Martin Drill Free MMF Screw (K083432)) devices to determine that the subject device has equivalent performance to the primary predicate. Additionally, comparative screw testing was performed to evaluate torsional strength, drive torque, and pullout strength in accordance with ASTM F543-23. Mechanical test results demonstrate that KLS Martin MMF Screw's performance is substantially equivalent to the primary predicate device. Biological safety risk assessments in compliance with ISO 10993-1:2018 concluded the devices are biocompatible and appropriate for their intended use. LAL endotoxin testing was conducted to address the presence of bacterial endore they meet pyrogen limit specifications in accordance with ANSI/AAMI ST72:2019.
The gamma sterilization process for the sterile in accordance with ISO 11137-12015 and ISO 11137-2:2015 using the VDmax25 method. The validation was also performed in accordance with ISO 11737-1:2018 and ISO 11737-2:2019.
Packaging validations were performed for the PETG blister pack with 1073B Tyvek cover in accordance with ISO 11607-1 and ASTM D7386.
#### Clinical Performance Data
Clinical testing was not necessary for the determination of substantial equivalence.
#### Conclusions
The KLS Martin Drill-Free MMF Screw has the same intended use and similar technological characteristics as the predicate device and reference devices. Technological differences have been addressed through performance data from the predicate and reference devices, in addition to analysis of peer-reviewed clinical studies. All information provided show the safe and effective use of the subject device for the intended patient population.
According to the comparison based on the requirements of 21 CFR 807.87 and the information provided herein, it is concluded that the information included in this submission supports substantial equivalence.
