## Intended Use

The Universal and Troch Entry Femoral Nailing Systems Line Extension is intended to treat proximal, middle and distal third fractures, severely comminuted shaft fractures extending beyond the isthmus, spiral, long oblique and segmental fractures, non-unions and malunions, lengthening of the bone, fractures with bone loss, bi-lateral fractures, pseudoarthrosis of the femoral shaft, supracondylar fractures, subtrochanteric fractures, with or without involvement of lesser trochanter, subtrochanteric / intertrochanteric combination fractures, ipsilateral femoral shaft and neck fractures, stable and unstable proximal fractures of the femur, including pertrochanteric fractures, intertrochanteric fractures, high subtrochanteric fractures and combinations of these fractures, pertrochanteric features associated with shaft fractures, pathologic fractures in osteoporotic bone of the trohchanteric and diaphyseal areas, proximal or distal non-unions and malunions, leg length discrepancies secondary to femoral inequality, femur reconstruction following tumor resection, stable femoral fractures without necessity for interlocking, long subtrochanteric fractures, and revision procedures involving the replacement of implanted hardware. In addition to the above indications, the Universal NAIL, when used in the retrograde mode, is also indicated for treatment of femoral shaft fractures in obese or multiple trauma patients and supracondylar fractures, including those with severe, extra-articular comminution and/or intra-articular involvement, osteoporosis, non-unions, malunions, pathologic fractures, and those proximal to total knee prosthesis.

## Device Story

Intramedullary fixation system for femoral fractures; consists of titanium alloy nails (9-15mm diameter, 280-500mm length) and 5mm distal screws. Used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical/surgical settings for internal fixation of femoral bone fractures. Provides mechanical stabilization of bone segments to facilitate healing. Line extension adds 5mm distal screws (20-80mm) to existing system. Output is physical stabilization of the femur; aids in patient recovery by restoring structural integrity of the bone.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Dimensional analysis, torque, and bend testing performed on 5mm screws to verify mechanical equivalence to predicate devices. No clinical data presented.

## Technological Characteristics

Titanium alloy intramedullary fixation nails and screws. Dimensions: 9-15mm diameter, 280-500mm length; 5mm distal screws (20-80mm). Mechanical fixation principle. No software or energy source.

## 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

- Universal and Troch Entry Femoral Nailing Systems ([K033329](/device/K033329.md))
- Hip Fracture Nail ([K100238](/device/K100238.md))

Dear Ms. Otaño:

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
