## Intended Use

The Segmental Defect Replacement System, when used with bone cement, is intended for reconstruction of the humeral diaphysis with an extensive bone lesion due to metastatic disease, myeloma, or lymphoma, that places the humerus at risk for pathologic fracture.

## Device Story

Segmental Defect Replacement System; modular bistemmed intramedullary rod system; used for reconstruction of humeral diaphysis following resection of diseased bone segments due to metastatic disease, myeloma, or lymphoma. Device components cemented into proximal and distal humeral segments; rigid cam locking mechanism allows intraoperative adjustment after cementing. Instrumentation provided to facilitate insertion. Used in clinical/surgical settings by physicians. Provides structural support to humerus; prevents pathologic fracture; restores limb function. Benefits patient by replacing diseased bone segments with stable, adjustable prosthetic construct.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Static and fatigue mechanical testing performed to demonstrate substantial equivalence to predicate devices.

## Technological Characteristics

Modular bistemmed intramedullary rod system. Materials: Ti-6Al-4V, NiTi alloy (locking system). Rigid cam locking mechanism. Intended for use with bone cement. Mechanical fixation via intramedullary rods.

## 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.

Proprietary Name Segmental Defect Replacement System

Common Name Segmental Defect Prosthesis

Classification Name and Reference Rod, Fixation, Intramedullary and Accessories, 21CFR 888.3020

#### Regulatory Classification

The Orthopedic and Rehabilitation Devices Panel of the Medical Devices Advisory Committee of FDA has recommended Class II, Performance Standards, for this device.

#### Device Product Codes

Product Code 87HSB has been assigned to this device.

## DEVICE DESCRIPTION

#### Intended Use

The Segmental Defect Replacement System, when used with bone cement, is intended for reconstruction of the humeral diaphysis with an extensive bone lesion due to metastatic disease, myeloma, or lymphoma, that places the humerus at risk for pathologic fracture.

#### Design

The Segmental Defect Replacement System is an array of proximal and distal intramedullary rods which, when locked together, replace the resected diseased segment and fixation in the remaining humeral bone The system includes a locking device to secure the rod components, and instrumentation to facilitate stock. insertion.

#### Mechanical Characterization

The Segmental Defect Replacement System has been evaluated by use of the static and fairgue tests. It has been shown to be substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.

Re : K980609 Trade Name: Segmental Defect Replacement System Regulatory Class: II Product Code: нав Dated: February 17, 1998 Received: February 17, 1998

Dear Mr. Johnson:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to 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). 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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. पुर substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic (QS) inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.

### Page 2 - Mr. Wesley D. Johnson

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4659. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97). Other general information on your responsibilities under the Act may be obtained from the Division of Small Manufacturers Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597 or at its internet address "http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsmamain.html".
