The MAGELLAN™ Intramedullary Femoral Nail System is indicated for use in long bone shaft fractures of the femur which require stabilization of the axis of the bone, including subtrochanteric fractures, intertrochanteric fractures, femoral neck fractures, comminuted fractures, segmental fractures, fractures with bone loss, proximal and distal fractures, nonunions and malunions, and bone lengthening.
Device Story
Modular intramedullary fixation system for femoral fractures; includes nails, rod inserts, caps, locking screws, and instrumentation. Features magnetic distal targeting system to locate/lock distal screw holes without radiographic equipment. Components: reamers, targeting compass, magnetic target insert, Steinmann pins, drill bits. Used in surgical settings by orthopedic surgeons. Magnetic targeting system facilitates screw placement, reducing reliance on intraoperative fluoroscopy. System provides mechanical stabilization of femoral fractures to promote healing.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence supported by bench testing and theoretical analysis of mechanical strength.
Technological Characteristics
Constructed of 316 LVM stainless steel (ASTM F 138). Modular system includes femoral nails, inserts, caps, and locking screws. Features magnetic distal targeting instrumentation (compass and magnetic insert) for screw hole localization. Mechanical fixation device; no software or electronic components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients with femoral long bone shaft fractures requiring stabilization, including subtrochanteric, intertrochanteric, femoral neck, comminuted, segmental, proximal/distal fractures, bone loss, nonunions, malunions, and bone lengthening.
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.

| Classification: | Class II |
| Predicate Device: | MAGELLAN™ Femoral Nail manufactured by Wright Medical Technology, Inc. and the Russell-Taylor Femoral Nail System manufactured by Smith and Nephew |
This summary of 510(k) safety and effectiveness information is being submitted in accordance with the requirements of 21 CFR 807.92.
## Description/Indicated Use
The MAGELLAN™ Intramedullary Femoral Nail System is a modular system consisting of femoral nails, femoral rod inserts, nail caps, locking screws, and instrumentation for fixation. The system is made of 316 LVM stainless steel conforming to ASTM F 138. The nail is available in six outer diameters and eight lengths. The nail may be cross-locked dynamically or statically, locked antegrade, and also has reconstruction capabilities.
This MAGELLAN™ Magnetic distal targeting instrumentation system is designed to locate and lock in place the distal screw holes of the Magellan Intramedullary Femoral Nail without the use of radiographic equipment. The system includes reamers for preparing the intramedullary canal for nail placement; a targeting compass and magnetic target insert that locate the distal screw holes, and targeting Steinmann pins and drill bits (two sizes) that create the proximal and distal screw holes. This instrument system is used with power equipment available from other manufacturers, and is certified by the supplier to work with the power source.
The MAGELLAN™ Intramedullary Femoral Nail System is indicated for use in long bone shaft fractures of the femur which require stabilization of the axis of the bone, including subtrochanteric fractures, intertrochanteric fractures, femoral neck fractures, comminuted fractures, segmental fractures, fractures with bone loss, proximal and distal fractures, nonunions and malunions, and bone lengthening.
## Testing
Testing and theoretical data show that the MAGELLAN™ nail device has appropriate strength for clinical usage, and will perform similarly to the Russell-Taylor System.

Dear Ms. Manuel:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to 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). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. 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.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Good Manufacturing Practice for Medical Devices: General (GMP) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic GMP inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.
