The system is not intended for spinal use. ## Device Story Asnis™ III Cannulated Screw System is a line extension of metallic bone fixation fasteners. Device consists of cannulated screws used by surgeons for internal fracture fixation of small bones, long bones, and the pelvis. System is not for spinal use. Device functions as a mechanical implant to stabilize bone fragments. Clinical benefit is stabilization of fractures to facilitate healing. No software or electronic components involved. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Mechanical testing was conducted to compare the strength of the subject device to predicate screws, demonstrating substantial equivalence in strength. ## Technological Characteristics Metallic bone fixation fastener; cannulated screw design; intended for internal fixation. No software, energy source, or connectivity features. ## 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 - Asnis™ III Cannulated Screw System ([K000080](/device/K000080.md)) - Asnis™ III Cannulated Screw System ([K024060](/device/K024060.md)) - Vilex 2mm Screws ([K973309](/device/K973309.md)) - Vilex 2mm Screws ([K991151](/device/K991151.md)) - Vilex 2mm Screws ([K991197](/device/K991197.md)) - Synthes Cannulated Screws ([K962823](/device/K962823.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

This line extension is to add additional sizes of screws to the system. ## Intended Use The modifications do not alter the intended use of the predicate systems as cleared in their respective premarket notifications. The indications for use for the subject device are provided below. ## Indications The Asnis™ III Cannulated Screw System is intended for fracture fixation of small and long bones and of the pelvis. The system is not intended for spinal use. #### Substantial Equivalence: These additional components are substantially equivalent to their predicate systems in respect to design, intended use, performance and operational principle as internal fixation components. Predicate systems include the Asnis™ III Cannulated Screw System (K000080 and K024060) and other commercially available cannulated screws on the market such Vilex 2mm Screws (K973309, K991151 & K991197) and Synthes Cannulated Screws (K962823.) Mechanical testing was conducted to compare the strength of the subject device to predicate screws. The results demonstrate that the subject components are substantially equivalent in strength to the predicate components. {1}------------------------------------------------ #### DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES Image /page/1/Picture/1 description: The image contains the text 'Public Health Service'.
