Intended Use
The ITST Intramedullary Nail is indicated for use in a variety of femoral fractures, such as: Subtrochanteric Fractures, Intertrochanteric Fractures, Comminuted Fractures, Segmental Fractures, Fractures with Bone Loss, Proximal and Distal Fractures, and Nonunions
Device Story
ITST Intertrochanteric/Subtrochanteric Fixation System is a line extension for closed femoral nailing; system includes intramedullary nails, lag screws, anti-rotation screws, nail caps, and 4.5mm cortical screws. Cortical screws provide distal locking of the nail. Used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical settings to stabilize femoral fractures. Device provides mechanical fixation to facilitate bone healing. No software or AI components.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Substantial equivalence supported by non-clinical performance data, including dimensional evaluation and biocompatibility testing per ISO 10993-1 and 21 CFR 58. Accelerated aging testing established a 10-year shelf life.
Technological Characteristics
Intramedullary fixation rod system. Components include femoral nails, lag screws, anti-rotation screws, and 4.5mm cortical screws. Materials are consistent with predicate M/DN system. Biocompatibility verified per ISO 10993-1. Mechanical fixation principle.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients with femoral fractures including subtrochanteric, intertrochanteric, comminuted, segmental, proximal/distal fractures, fractures with bone loss, and nonunions.
Regulatory Classification
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.

Dear Mr. McKelvey:
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
{1}------------------------------------------------
forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
