Regulatory Classification

Identification

Single/multiple component metallic bone fixation appliances and accessories are devices intended to be implanted consisting of one or more metallic components and their metallic fasteners. The devices contain a plate, a nail/plate combination, or a blade/plate combination that are made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, stainless steel, and titanium, that are intended to be held in position with fasteners, such as screws and nails, or bolts, nuts, and washers. These devices are used for fixation of fractures of the proximal or distal end of long bones, such as intracapsular, intertrochanteric, intercervical, supracondylar, or condylar fractures of the femur; for fusion of a joint; or for surgical procedures that involve cutting a bone. The devices may be implanted or attached through the skin so that a pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system.

| --- | --- |

Similarities to Predicate Device:

The subject and predicate devices have the same fundamental technologies in that they are both metallic implants for use in surgical procedures of the thoracic and sternal region to repair pectus excavatum. Both devices are manufactured in a variety of lengths and configurations to provide the physician with different sizing options. Both devices are off-the-shelf products provided non-sterile and require the end-user to process the implants using validated cleaning and sterilization methods prior to use. The sterilization methods, packaging, and shelf-life information remains unchanged from the predicate. Both devices are manufactured from titanium, a well-known biocompatible material.

Target Population:

The subject device, as well as the primary predicate device, K221938, were cleared for use in the adult and pediatric populations, specifically in the following pediatric subpopulations:

- Children (2 years of age to &lt; 12 years of age)
- Adolescents (12 years of age – 21 years of age)

Differences from Predicate Device:

Specifications

The predicate device, KLS Martin Pure Pectus system includes the pectus bars ranging from 200 mm to 380 mm in length. The subject device will be a modification to the pectus bars to include additional sizing options ranging in greater than 380 mm and less than/equal to 500 mm. The cross-sections of the subject and predicate pectus bars are identical to each other, only the extended lengths are different. The modified pectus bars described do not alter the safety and efficacy of the intended use for the KLS Martin Pure Pectus system. The device usage is identical; there are no changes in formulation, processing, or sterilization. The manufacturing process used in the subject device is similar to the final finished form of the pectus bars cleared in K221938. We determined that extending the pectus bar length ranging in greater than 380 mm and less than/equal to 500 mm, will not alter the safety and effectiveness of the device. There have been no changes to the sterility procedures of the device.

MR Environment Safety Information:

Non-clinical testing has been performed to support the conditional safety of the subject device in the MR environment. Hazards addressed include magnetically induced displacement force (ASTM F2052-21) and torque (ASTM F2213-17), image artifacts (ASTM F2119-07, R2013), and RF induced heating (ASTM F2182-19e2).

The longer pectus bars (subject device) have met all acceptance criteria to substantiate the labeling claim of "MR Conditional" in the magnetic resonance environment. Therefore, the devices listed in the KLS Martin Pure Pectus portfolio can be safely scanned under the conditions presented in the labeling.

Conclusion:

Based on the questions above as well as conformance to FDA-recognized standards, safety and effectiveness has been demonstrated. The additional length sizes for the pectus bars will be included in the cleared KLS Martin Pure Pectus system (K221938). The subject device and predicate device have the same intended use, same principles of operation, and technological characteristics. No new or different questions of safety or effectiveness were identified, which supports the conclusion that the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
