## Intended Use

The Ensplint™ Bone Screws are intended to treat fractures of various small and long bones. The Ensplint™ Bone Screws can also be used with the EnsplintRx Distal Radius System.

## Device Story

Ensplint™ Bone Screws are metallic bone fixation fasteners; used for treating fractures of small and long bones. Device is a self-tapping cortical bone screw; diameters 1.5mm to 5.0mm; lengths 4mm to 90mm. Used by surgeons in clinical settings for internal bone fixation. Provides mechanical stabilization of bone fragments to facilitate healing.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data; bench testing only.

## Technological Characteristics

Metallic bone fixation fastener; self-tapping cortical screw; diameters 1.5mm-5.0mm; lengths 4mm-90mm; conforms to ASTM F543-2 standard specification for HA bone screws.

## 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.

The Ensplint™ Bone<br>Screws can also be used with the EnsplintRx Distal Radius<br>System.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         |
| Rationale for Substantial<br>Equivalence / Comparison<br>to Predicate: | The Ensplint™ Bone Screw utilizes the same material and<br>technology characteristics as the Syntec Scientific Corp.<br>Bone Screws and conforms to the ASTM F543-2 Standard<br>Specification for HA Bone Screws. The diameters and<br>lengths are within the diameters and lengths of the predicate<br>Syntec Scientific Corp bone screws. Therefore testing is not<br>needed to demonstrate that the subject devices are<br>substantially equivalent to other legally marketed bone<br>screws. |

Trade/Device Name: Ensplint™ Bone Screw Regulation Number: 21 CFR 888.3040 Regulation Name: Smooth or threaded metallic bone fixation fastener Regulation Class: Class II Product Code: HWC Dated: June 24, 2008 Received: June 25, 2008

Dear Ms. Conuel:

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, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). 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 (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. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
