## Intended Use

The Newfix Screw, Wire and Pin Fixation System is to be used as implants for the fixation of bone fractures, fusion of joints or bone reconstructions or as guide pins for insertion of other implants.

## Device Story

Newfix Screw, Wire and Pin Fixation System is a family of orthopedic implants including Kirschner wires, Schanz screws, Steinmann pins, and conic threaded bone screws. Devices are manufactured from implant-grade stainless steel. Used by surgeons in clinical settings for bone fracture fixation, joint fusion, bone reconstruction, or as guide pins for other implants. Pins feature smooth or self-drilling/self-tapping threaded designs with diamond tips. System includes manual accessory tools: depth gauge, tissue protection triple guide, T-shape handle chuck, and drill bits. Devices are provided non-sterile and require sterilization by the user prior to implantation. Intended for single-patient use only.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence is based on design, material, and intended use comparisons to the predicate device.

## Technological Characteristics

Materials: Stainless Steel 316 LS/LVM. Configurations: Kirschner pins (1.6–2.5mm diameter), Schanz screws (2.5–6mm diameter), Steinmann pins (3.5–5mm diameter), and Conic pins. Features: Smooth or self-drilling/self-tapping threaded pins with diamond tips. Sterilization: Non-sterile, requires user sterilization. Accessory tools: Depth gauge, tissue protection guide, chuck, drill bits.

## 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

Dear Mr. Bard:

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 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.
