## Intended Use

SBI K-Wires are indicated for use in fixation of bone fractures, for bone reconstruction, and as guide pins for insertion of other implants.

## Device Story

SBI K-Wires are metallic bone fixation fasteners used by surgeons in clinical settings for fracture fixation, bone reconstruction, and as guide pins for implant insertion. The device consists of smooth or threaded wires ranging from 0.9mm to 2.0mm in diameter and 150mm in length. Available in single point, double point, and threaded single point configurations. The wires are provided non-sterile and require sterilization by the end-user. They function as mechanical fixation aids to stabilize bone segments or guide the placement of other orthopedic implants during surgical procedures.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; bench testing only.

## Technological Characteristics

Materials: 316L stainless steel (ASTM F 138), Titanium 6AL4V-ELI (ASTM F 136-92), and Cobalt Chrome alloys. Dimensions: 0.9mm - 2.0mm diameter, 150mm length. Configurations: single point, double point, threaded single point. Non-sterile delivery.

## Regulatory Identification

A smooth or threaded metallic bone fixation fastener is a device intended to be implanted that consists of a stiff wire segment or rod made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum and stainless steel, and that may be smooth on the outside, fully or partially threaded, straight or U-shaped; and may be either blunt pointed, sharp pointed, or have a formed, slotted head on the end. It may be used for fixation of bone fractures, for bone reconstructions, as a guide pin for insertion of other implants, or it may be implanted through the skin so that a pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system.

Dear Mr. Guthner:

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.

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 (PMA), 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 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.
