## Intended Use

The EVOLVE® EPS ORTHOLOC™ is intended for fixation of fractures, osteotomies and non-unions of the olecranon, humerus, radius and ulna.

## Device Story

The EVOLVE® EPS ORTHOLOC™ System is a metallic bone fixation system consisting of bone plates and screws. It is used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical settings to stabilize fractures, osteotomies, and non-unions of the olecranon, humerus, radius, and ulna. The system functions through mechanical fixation; screws are inserted into bone, optionally through plates, to provide structural support and promote healing. This iteration introduces modified screw lengths, shorter plate options, and a modified driver-screw interface. The device is purely mechanical; it does not involve software, algorithms, or electronic components. It provides clinical benefit by enabling rigid internal fixation of bone segments.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Substantial equivalence supported by bench testing including ultimate torque testing, pull-out data, and off-axis locking comparison.

## Technological Characteristics

Metallic bone fixation system (plates and screws). Materials are identical to the predicate. Features include modified screw lengths, shorter plate lengths, and modified screw head drive interface. Mechanical fixation principle. No software, electronics, or energy sources.

## Regulatory 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.

### A.4. Device Description

The EVOLVE® EPS OTHOLOC™ System is extended to offer two longer screw lengths and four shorter plates. The driver-screw interface is also being modified. The plates are identical to the predicate in hole/slot placement and depth, plate shape and material. The subject screws have identical profile and thread form. The screws may be used with or without the plates.

The design features of the EVOLVE® EPS ORTHOLOC™ system are substantially equivalent to the design features of the predicate EVOLVE® EPS ORTHOLOC™

#### A.5. Intended Use

The subject EVOLVE® EPS ORTHOLOC™ system has the same intended use as the predicate.

The EVOLVE® EPS ORTHOLOC™ is intended for fixation of fractures, osteotomies and non-unions of the olecranon, humerus, radius and ulna.

#### A.6. Technological Characteristics Comparison

The subject EVOLVE® EPS ORTHOLOC™ and the legally marketed predicate EVOLVE® EPS ORTHOLOC™ System have identical indications, utilize the same instruments, and are manufactured out of the same materials. The subject and predicate components are fully compatible.

The subject EVOLVE® EPS ORTHOLOC™ adds two additional lengths of screws, four shorter plates, offers a modified drive feature on the screw heads and may be used with or without the plates.

#### B.1. Substantial Equivalence - Non-Clinical Evidence

Substantial equivalence was shown through ultimate torque testing, pull-out data, and offaxis locking comparison. The results of the tests show that the subject EVOLVE® EPS ORTHOLOCTM can be expected to perform at least as well as the legally marketed predicate EVOLVE® EPS ORTHOLOCTM

The safety and effectiveness of the subject EVOLVE® EPS ORTHOLOC™ System is adequately supported by the substantial equivalence information, materials information, and comparison of design characteristics provided within this Premarket Notification.

#### B.2. Substantial Equivalence - Clinical Evidence

N/A

#### B.3. Substantial Equivalence - Conclusions

Substantial equivalence is shown through ultimate torque testing, pull out data and off-axis locking comparison. The materials, indications, screw and thread profiles, and plate shapes and features are identical between the subject and predicate. The subject and predicate differ in drive feature depth, screw lengths and plate lengths; no new questions concerning safety and effectiveness have been raised. From the evidence presented in the Premarket Notification, the subject devices can be expected to perform at least as well as the predicate devices.
