Used by surgeons for orthopedic bone fixation and skeletal traction. Devices are distributed non-sterile and require end-user steam sterilization. No software or electronic components. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. ## Technological Characteristics Materials: 316L stainless steel. Form factor: Screws (cancellous, malleolar, cortical) and guide wires (threaded, spaded, blunt). Sterilization: Non-sterile, intended for end-user steam sterilization per AAMI/ANSI/ISO 11737 guidelines to achieve SAL 10-6. ## 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. ## Predicate Devices - Depuy Kirschner Wires and Steinmann Pins ([K960385](/device/K960385.md)) - Plus Cancellous Bone Screws ([K011719](/device/K011719.md)) - Biodynamic Technologies, Inc.

The logo consists of a circular graphic to the left of the letters IFS. The graphic contains three arrows pointing in a circular direction. The text "Internal Fixation Systems" is located below the graphic and letters. Devices are manufactured using 316L stainless steel. Intended Use: The IFS Bone Fixation Devices are indicated for use in fixation of bone fractures, for bone reconstructions, as guide pins for insertion of other implants or implantation through the skin so that traction may be applied to the skeletal system. Technological The IFS Bone Fixation Devices are substantially equivalent to Characteristics the predicate devices with respect to design and material. Comparison: Sterilization IFS Bone Fixation Devices will be distributed non-sterile. The Information: devices are sterilized by the end user per the AAMI Guidelines "Good Hospital Practice: Steam Sterilization and Sterility Assurance" and ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11737 guidelines to achieve the Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) of 10-6. Conclusion: There are no significant differences between bone fixation devices and the other devices as listed in the Substantially Equivalent Devices. The IFS Bone Fixation Devices and the predicate devices have similar design attributes, material, and intended use thus is substantially equivalent. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the Department of Health & Human Services (HHS).
