Ga-mma Nail is indicated for use in stabilizing various types of intertrochanteric fractures of proximal femur. ## Device Story GPC Intramedullary Nailing Systems consist of intramedullary nails, locking bolts, screws, and end caps used for orthopedic fracture fixation. The system includes the Multi Angle Tibial Nail (260mm-360mm) and the Ga-mma Nail (180mm). Devices are surgically implanted by orthopedic surgeons to stabilize bone fractures. The system functions as a mechanical fixation device, providing structural support to fractured bone segments to facilitate healing. The end cap design for the Ga-mma Nail includes a collar to prevent sharp edges and reduce vascular trauma. The devices are intended for long-term implantation in bone tissue. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is supported by bench testing and literature review. Bench testing verified compliance with ASTM F 1264 (Multi Angle Tibial Nail) and ASTM F 384 (Ga-mma Nail). ## Technological Characteristics Materials: Titanium-6Al-4V ELI (ASTM F 136) and 18Cr-14Ni-2.5Mo stainless steel (ASTM F 138). Design: Intramedullary nails with locking bolts, screws, and end caps. Classification: Surgically invasive, long-term, implantable. Sterilization: Not specified, but stated as same as predicate. ## 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 - Tibial Nail System Ex ([K040762](/device/K040762.md)) - Gamma Nail ([K972813](/device/K972813.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

We have complied with two material standards - 1. ASTM F 136: Standard specification for wrought Titanium-6Aluminium-4Vanadium ELI (Extra low interstitial) Alloy for surgical implant applications. - 2. ASTM F 138: Standard Specification for Wrought 18 chromium-14Nickel-2.5Molybdenum stainless steel bar and wire for surgical implants. ### B: Performance Standards: We have verified the product compliance to these standards-ASTM F 1264 for Multi Angle Tibial Nail and ASTM F 384 for Ga-mma Nails and the relevant test results comparing the subject devices with predicate devices is given in section-10 executive summary. B 2) Discussion on the clinical evaluation referenced and relied upon: GPC Intramedullary nailing systems are of similar design and pattern as well as similar indications for use, similar technological characteristics to that of predicate devices. Following is the flow chart that has been considered for clinical evaluation / clinical equivalence {10}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/10/Figure/1 description: The image is a flowchart titled "Figure 1: Stages of clinical evaluation". The flowchart shows the stages of clinical evaluation, starting with Stage 1, which involves identifying clinical data from literature searching, clinical experience, and clinical investigation. The flowchart then moves to Stage 2, which involves appraisal of individual data sets, suitability, and contribution of results to demonstration of performance and safety, and then to Stage 3, which involves analysis of relevant data, strength of overall evidence, and conclusions about performance and safety. The flowchart ends with the production of a clinical evaluation report. *Conformity to harmonized performance standards may be sufficient to demonstrate compliance to relevant Essential Requirements (ERs) SECTION 05 PAGE 8 OF 9 {11}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/11/Picture/1 description: The image contains the logo for GPC Medical Ltd. The logo includes the text "GPC Medical Ltd." in green, along with the text "Govt. of India Recognized Star Export House" in black. To the right of the company name is the text "The Best Name in India in its field", along with the text "Backed by experience since 1930", and certifications such as "ISO 9001:2008 Certified" and "ISO 13485:2003 Certified". Based on the following aspects a literature survey and conclusion has been drawn and there is no need to have clinical evaluation done as the device is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices already in the US Market for more than 10 years. # CONCLUSION BASED ON THE CLINICAL AND NON-CLINICAL TESTING DATA: From the available data, we at GPC demonstrate that GPC Intramedullary Nailing Systems are as safe, as effective and perform as same indications for use as that of already marketed predicate devices identified in A 3 of 510(k) summary. Hence our devices can be considered safe and effective for their intended use.
