## Intended Use

The FISCH Titanium Middle Ear Prostheses are intended for ossicle replacement to restore middle ear function when the sound transmission chain is broken. The various prosthetic models are implanted for partial or complete reconstruction, to replace missing or malformed ossicles or in secondary procedures after tumor or trauma operations.

## Device Story

FISCH Titanium Middle Ear Prostheses are surgical implants used to restore middle ear sound transmission. The device line includes stapes pistons, incus prostheses, neomalleus prostheses, and total prostheses. These are implanted by surgeons during middle ear reconstructive procedures to replace missing or malformed ossicles. The prostheses are constructed from anodized titanium, providing biocompatibility. They function as mechanical bridges within the middle ear to facilitate sound conduction. The devices are provided sterile and are intended for single use.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only.

## Technological Characteristics

Materials: Anodized titanium. Design: One-piece, various lengths and diameters for stapes, incus, neomalleus, and total reconstruction. Connectivity: N/A (mechanical implant). Sterilization: Sterile, single-use.

## Regulatory Identification

A total ossicular replacement prosthesis is a device intended to be implanted for the total functional reconstruction of the ossicular chain and facilitates the conduction of sound waves from the tympanic membrance to the inner ear. The device is made of materials such as polytetrafluoroethylene, polytetrafluoroethylene with vitreous carbon fibers composite, porous polyethylene, or from a combination of these materials.

Indication: The FISCH Titanium Middle Ear Prostheses are intended for ossicle replacement to restore middle ear function when the sound transmission chain is broken. The various prosthetic models are implanted for partial or complete reconstruction, to replace missing or malformed ossicles or in secondary procedures after turnor or trauma operations.

Device Description: The FISCH Titanium Middle Ear Prostheses are made of anodized titanium, which is commonly used in medical devices for a wide range of application and has a long history of biocompatibility for human use.

Substantial Equivalence: The FISCH Titanium Middle Ear Prostheses are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices since the basic features and intended use are similar. The minor difference between the FISCH Titanium Middle Ear Prostheses and the predicate devices raise no new issues of safety and effectiveness, as these minor differences have no effect on the performance, function or intended use of the device. See Tables 1-4 for a detailed comparison.
