### 1. Description of the Device

The Syntec Humeral Nail System are manufactured from commercially SUS316L (stainless steel) and Ti-6AL-4V (Titanium alloy). It is an intramedullary (IM) straight nail with a 5° proximal bend configuration to fit the anatomy of the humerus and is inserted proximally over ø2.0 calibrated guide wires. Those nail accepts only an ø3.8mm Cortical Screw in various lengths for cross-screw fixation in both the proximal and distal portion of the nail. Also, an End Cap ø8 ~ ø 9 in 9mm lengths is available for proximal closing of the nail. The Syntec Humeral Nail System

#### 4. Performance Data

The procedure of evaluating the device tests was according to the standard of ASTM-F1264-14. The testing was done to our Syntec Humeral Nail System device to demonstrate substantial equivalence.

#### 5. Substantial Equivalence

We believe that Syntec Humeral Nail System does not add new or increased risks and complications, based on current engineering technology and clinical results published about intramedullary rods as well as based on what has been previously cleared by FDA.

According device test report of performance data demonstrate that the Syntec Humeral Nail is as safe and effective as K132945. In addition, the Syntec Humeral Nail System has the same intended uses and indications, technological characteristics, and principles of operation to the predicate device. Thus, the Syntec Humeral Nail System is substantially equivalent in design, configuration, function, and indications for use to the I.T.S. IM Nail Systems CFN-CTN-CHN (K132945).
