## Intended Use

The Intended Use of the Cannulated Screw and Kirschner (Kwire) System is for the treatment and fixation of bone fractures and osteotomies of various bones including the, acetabulum, pelvis, humerus, radius, ulna, femur, tibia, phalanges, carpals, metacarpals, tarsals, metatarsals and fibula

## Device Story

System consists of cannulated bone screws and Kirschner wires (K-wires) for orthopedic fixation. Screws are self-tapping, self-drilling, with cortico/cancellous or cancellous threads; available in various lengths/diameters. K-wires are threaded, spaded, or blunt, ranging 0.8mm-1.4mm diameter and 150mm length. Used by surgeons in clinical settings for bone fracture stabilization and osteotomy fixation. K-wires serve as guides for screw placement. Device provides mechanical fixation to facilitate bone healing.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. No clinical data provided.

## Technological Characteristics

Materials: Stainless steel (screws), 316L stainless steel (K-wires). Design: Cannulated, self-tapping, self-drilling screws; threaded/spaded/blunt K-wires. Dimensions: K-wires 0.8mm-1.4mm diameter, 150mm length. Mechanical fixation principle.

## 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.

Dear Ms. Cattabriga:

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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

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.

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); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); 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.
