System includes cannulated, thick-walled, mirror-finished titanium alloy nails with proximal/distal locking holes, locking screws, and end caps. Ancillary instrumentation includes a drill, drill motor assembly, hand controller, and control box. Used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical settings for fracture stabilization. The control system assists in the surgical procedure. Device provides mechanical stability to bone segments to facilitate healing. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data. Evidence consists of bench testing, cadaver testing, and human factor analysis to verify performance and safety. ## Technological Characteristics Titanium alloy intramedullary nail; cannulated, thick-walled, mirror-finished. Includes drill, drill motor, and control box. Mechanical fixation via transverse locking screws. Biocompatible materials. ## Regulatory 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. ## Predicate Devices - DGIMED Ortho Inc.

VP of Finance, Chief Operating Officer | | Date Prepared: | February 3, 2010 | #### Device Description: The DISTALOCK™ Femoral Intramedullary (IM) Nail System permits an antegrade intramedullary approach for fixation of fractures of the femur. The DISTALOCK™ Femoral Intramedullary Nail is a closed section, cannulated, thick walled, mirror finished, curved intramedullary fixation device containing two proximal and two distal holes to accept locking screws which thread transversely though the proximal and distal third of the femur. The DISTALOCK™ Femoral IM Nail System includes the following components: DISTALOCK™ IM standard entry and trochanteric nails, locking screws and end caps made of titanium allov. The DISTALOCK™ Ancillary Instrumentation includes the DISTALOCK™ drill, the DISTALOCK™ Control System (which includes the control box, drill motor assembly and hand controller) and other disposable and reusable instruments. #### Indications for Use: The DISTALOCK™ Femoral IM Nail System is indicated for use in orthopedic intramedullary nailing procedures: midline femoral fractures, femoral fractures in multiple trauma patients, fractures in the morbidly obese patient, fractures in osteoporotic bone or malunions and nonunions. Page 1 {1}------------------------------------------------ #### Substantial Equivalence Comparison: Results of design verification and validation testing demonstrate that the device system as modified is as safe as the predicate device. The risk assessment results, together with the results of design verification and validation testing presented in this submission, confirm that the DISTALOCK™ Femoral IM Nail System, as modified, raises no new questions of safety or effectiveness compared to the predicate device. The DISTALOCK™ Femoral IM Nail System has been shown to be substantially equivalent to the legally marketed device for the purpose of 510(k) clearance. #### Summary of Non-Clinical Testing: The biological safety of the DISTALOCK™ Femoral IM Nail System was achieved through the selection of materials that demonstrated appropriate levels of biocompatibility. Human factor analysis was conducted and concluded that the DISTALOCK™ Femoral IM Nail System presented acceptable human factors features in both the functioning of the device and usage of the labeling. Bench testing and cadaver testing were conducted to ensure the performance and safety of the DISTALOCK™ Femoral IM Nail System and to demonstrate substantial equivalent to predicate device. No new risks or efficacy concerns other than those identified with the predicate device were raised. Results of non-clinical testing demonstrated that the DISTALOCK ™ Femoral Intramedullary (IM) Nail System is safe and effective for its intended use. #### Conclusion: The DISTALOCK™ Femoral IM Nail System has similar intended use, material biosafety profile, and technical characteristics as the predicate device. Non-clinical testing was conducted to verify the safety and performance of the DISTALOCK™ Femoral IM Nail System and to ensure the device functions as intended and meets design specifications. As a result, the DISTALOCK™ Femoral IM Nail System has been demonstrated to be substantially equivalent to the predicate device and effective for its intended use. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/0 description: The image shows a partial view of a logo or emblem, featuring a stylized bird-like symbol on the left.
