## Intended Use

The CheckMate™ Small Bone Fusion System is intended for the treatment of fracture fixation, osteotomies (ex. Akin, Chevron, Scarf, Weil), reconstruction, revision surgery and arthrodesis of small bones in the upper and lower extremities.

## Device Story

CheckMate Small Bone Fusion System comprises 2-hole stainless steel bone plates and 2.0 mm/2.7 mm diameter bone screws. Plates feature pre-assembled suture loops for bone segment compression; screws include snap-off design for standalone fixation or plate use. Used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical settings for small bone stabilization. Device provides mechanical fixation to facilitate bone healing and fusion. Benefits include structural support and compression during surgical procedures.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Comparative static and dynamic four-point bending test results and dimensional/geometric analyses were used to demonstrate substantial equivalence.

## Technological Characteristics

Implant grade stainless steel bone plates and screws. 2-hole plate configuration; 2.0 mm and 2.7 mm diameter screws (8-24 mm lengths). Features integrated suture loop for compression and screw snap-off mechanism. Mechanical fixation device.

## 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.

### Intended Use

The CheckMate™ Small Bone Fusion System is intended for the treatment of fracture fixation, osteotomies (ex. Akin, Chevron, Scarf, Weil), reconstruction, revision surgery and arthrodesis of small bones in the upper and lower extremities.

{1}------------------------------------------------

### Device Description

The CheckMate™ Small Bone Fusion System consists of 2-hole bone plates made available in three length options, and 2.0 mm and 2.7 mm diameter bone screws having lengths varying from 8 mm to 24 mm. The bone plate is pre-assembled with a suture . loop intended to provide a traction force required to achieve compression between bone segments. The bone screws have a snap-off feature designed to work with the plates and/or as standalone bone fixation fasteners. The bone plates and screws are manufactured from implant grade stainless steel.

Dear Ms. Wilson:

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.
