Examples include: Mono-cortical fixation of small bone fragments Weil osteotomy Osteotomies and fractures fixation in the foot and hand. ## Device Story I.B.S. Snap-off screw is a single-piece, self-drilling, self-tapping metallic bone fixation fastener. Device consists of a screw head and a drill shank; shank inserts into a driver for bone insertion. Upon reaching target depth, drill shank twists off and breaks cleanly from screw head. Used in hospital or outpatient surgery centers by surgeons for bone reconstruction, osteotomy, and fracture fixation. Implanted for >30 days. Benefits include stable fixation of small bone fragments in foot and hand procedures. Supplied sterile via gamma irradiation. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Mechanical testing performed per ASTM F543-07 to assess torque to failure, insertion torque, axial pullout strength, and self-tapping performance. Engineering/dimensional comparison to predicates performed. Results indicated device performed as expected for all tests. ## Technological Characteristics Material: Titanium alloy TA6V (ISO 5832-3, ASTM F136). Design: Solid, non-cannulated, self-drilling, self-tapping screw with snap-off mechanism. Sterilization: Gamma irradiation. Single-use. ## 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 - Integra / Newdeal Spin screw ([K991477](/device/K991477.md)) - Arthrex Low Profile Screws ([K103705](/device/K103705.md)) - Nexa Orthopedics / Nexa Bone screw ([K053394](/device/K053394.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Technological
characteristics | The technological characteristics of the I.B.S.® Snap-off screw are the
same as the characteristics of predicates devices in terms of intended
use and design. All the screws have the following features:
- Solid / non-cannulated – the I.B.S.® Snap-off screws and all
predicate devices are solid / non-cannulated screws
- Self-tapping and self-drilling, with a snap-off design - the
I.B.S® Snap-off screws and all predicate devices are self-
tapping and self-drilling screws with a snap-off mechanism
- Material: made from Titanium alloys, with no new materials
being introduced in the product - the I.B.S.® Snap-off screws
and all predicate devices are manufactured from Titanium
Alloy TA6V
- Equivalent size range: the diameters and lengths covered by the
predicate devices enable to cover diameters and lengths of the
I.B.S.® Snap-off screws
- Indicated for surgical implantation longer than 30 days - the
I.B.S.® Snap-off screws and all predicate devices are indicated
for surgical implantation longer than 30 days | |---------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | Substantial Equivalence
Summary | The I.B.S.® Snap-off screw has similar technological characteristics
when compared to the predicate devices. | | Summary Performance
Data | Mechanical testing was performed according to ASTM F543-07. This
standard describes methods to assess the torque to failure, insertion
torque, axial pullout strength, and self-tapping performance of screws.
The specification standard provides requirements for materials, finish,
marking, care and handling, and the acceptable dimensions and
tolerances for metallic bone screws implanted into bone tissue. As the
specification standard states, the dimensions and tolerances are
applicable only to metallic bone screws described in the specification
itself. Additional information must be provided to document that the
design of the product will provide adequate mechanical properties for
the particular application.
In addition, an engineering / dimensional comparison to the predicates
was performed to ascertain substantial equivalence.
The results of the testing performed by the test lab indicated that the
I.B.S.® Snap-off screw performed as expected for each test. | | CONCLUSION | Based on the evaluations performed, the design and indications of
the I.B.S.® Snap-off screw are substantially equivalent to the
predicates identified in the 510(k) submission. No new materials or
processes are used in the development of this implant.

In addition, the results of the testing performed by the test lab
indicated that the screws performed as expected for each test.

The I.B.S.® Snap-off screws are acceptable for the application. | {4}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/4/Picture/0 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
