## Intended Use

The MaxLock Extreme System is indicated for the following: •The MaxLock Extreme Universal Module is indicated for use in adult or pediatric patients as indicated for pelvic, small and long bone fracture fixation of bones that have been surgically prepared (osteotomy) for correction of deformity or arthrodesis. Indications for use include internal fixation of the tibia, fibula, femur, humerus, ulna, radius, and bones in the hand, wrist, foot and ankle. • The MaxLock Extreme Clavicle Module is indicated for fractures, fusions and osteotomies of the clavicle and bones in the hand, wrist, foot and ankle. •The MaxLock Extreme Foot Module is indicated for fractures, fusions and osteotomies of bones in the hand, wrist, foot and ankle in pediatric and adult patients. •The MaxLock Extreme Distal Radius Module is indicated for fractures and osteotomies of the distal radius in adult patients.

## Device Story

MaxLock Extreme System comprises metallic bone plates and screws for internal fixation; stabilizes fractures; aids fusion/repair of bone fragments; facilitates osteotomy correction. Used in orthopedic surgery; implanted by surgeons. Components manufactured from titanium alloy or PEEK. System modules include Universal, Clavicle, Foot, and Distal Radius configurations. Provides mechanical stabilization to bone segments to promote healing and structural alignment.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Finite element analysis performed to compare strength between subject and predicate devices.

## Technological Characteristics

Metallic bone fixation plates and screws. Materials: Titanium alloy, PEEK. Mechanical fixation principle. Dimensions vary by module (Universal, Clavicle, Foot, Distal Radius).

## 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.

- The MaxLock Extreme® Distal Radius Module is indicated for fractures and osteotomies of the distal radius in adult patients.
The new MaxLock Extreme® System is substantially equivalent to the existing OrthoHelix MaxLock Extreme® System (K113048). Finite element analysis comparing the strength of the subject and predicate devices was performed and the results support substantial equivalence. Due to similarities in indications, design, and materials, no other testing was required. No new issues of safety and effectiveness have been raised..

Substantial Equivalence:

Dear Mr. Lewis:

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 (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. 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.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set
