## Intended Use

The dynaMX™ Intramedulary Fixation Device is indicated to stabilize and aid in the fixation of fractures, fusions, and osteotomies of the phalanges.

## Device Story

The dynaMX™ Intramedullary Implant is a single-use, cannulated bone fixation device made of Nitinol. It features a threaded distal end and a barbed proximal end. During surgery, the threaded end is inserted into a pre-drilled hole in the middle phalange, while the barbed end is inserted into a broached canal in the proximal phalange. The barbs deflect inward during insertion and superelastically expand to lock the implant in place. The device is used in an OR setting by a surgeon to stabilize phalangeal fractures or fusions. It is supplied in a kit with a drill bit, broach, and guide wire. The implant provides permanent fixation, aiding in bone healing and alignment.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Studies included static bending, bending fatigue, pull-out force, rotational stability, corrosion testing, transformation temperature determination, package seal strength, and shelf-life verification. Biocompatibility of Nitinol is well-established via reference literature. Endotoxin testing confirmed the device is non-pyrogenic.

## Technological Characteristics

Material: Nitinol (ASTM F2063-12). Design: Cannulated, threaded distal end, barbed proximal end. Principle: Superelastic shape memory fixation. Dimensions: 13mm-15mm lengths. Connectivity: None. Sterilization: Gamma radiation. Software: None.

## 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.

#### Description

The dynaMX™ Intramedullary Implant is intended to stabilize and aid in the fixation of fractures, fusions, and osteotomies of the phalanges,

- . The implant is fully cannulated with threads on the distal side and two barbs on the proximal side. The implant is offered in multiple combinations of diameter and length to accommodate various anatomies.
- . The dynaMÄ™ Intramedullary Implant is made of biocompatible Nitinol. The barbs of the implant are designed to exhibit superelastic properties at room and body temperature.
- . As manufactured, one end of the implant has a screw thread, and the other end a pair of barbs. The screw thread is inserted into a drilled hole in the middle phalange. The barbed end is implanted into a broached canal in the proximal phalange. While inserting the barbed end of the implant, the barbs deflect inward to allow the implant to pass through the broached canal. Once inside the canal, the barbs superelastically return to their flared outward configuration to securely hold the implant in the bone.
- . The dynaMÄ™ Intramedullary Implant is sold as part of a single use disposable kit. The kit includes an implant, pre-loaded onto a delivery device, a drill bit, a broach and a quide wire.

#### Indications for Use

The dynaMX™ Intramedullary Implant is intended to stabilize and aid in the fixation of fractures, fusions, and osteotomies of the phalanges,

#### Substantial Equivalence

A series of laboratory studies (bench tests and cadaver tests) have been conducted to verify the suitability of the dynaMX™ Intramedullary Implant for its intended use, establish Substantial Equivalence with the predicate devices and confirm reproducibility of the packaging.

These tests include:

Elastic Static Bending Testing Bending Fatigue Testing Implant Pull-Out Force Rotational Stability Corrosion Testina Transformation Temperature Determination Package Seal Strength Verification Shelf Life

{5}------------------------------------------------

The biocompatibility of Nitinol has been well-established. A reference publication that describes the biocompatibility was appended, together with a copy of the shelf-life / stability protocol that has been designed to support expiry dating of up to 36 months.

Endotoxin testing of the dynaMX™ Intramedullary Implant has been conducted to confirm that the implant is non-pyrogenic.

This submission supports the position that the MX Orthopedics dynaMX™ Intramedullary Implant is substantially equivalent to previously cleared devices, including the devices listed above. A number of predicate devices list the same range of clinical uses.

#### Conclusions

MX Orthopedics, Corp. believes that the information provided establishes that similar legally marketed devices have been used for the same clinical applications as the MX Orthopedics dynaMX™ Intramedullary Implant. The materials from which the MX Orthopedics device is fabricated have an established history of use, and the devices have been tested in accordance with applicable FDA guidelines.
