## Intended Use

DynaBridge is indicated for: · Fracture and osteotomy fixation and joint arthrodesis of the hand and foot. · Fixation of proximal tibial metaphysis osteotomy. · Hand and foot bone fragment and osteotomy fixation and joint arthrodesis. · Fixation of small bone fragments (i.e. Small fragments of bone which are not comminuted to the extent to preclude staple placement). These fragments may be located in long bones such as the femur, fibula, and tibia in the lower extremities; the humerus, ulna, or radius in the upper extremittes; the clavicle and ribs; and in flat bones such as the pelvis, scapula and sternum.

## Device Story

DynaBridge is a superelastic Nitinol bone staple; used for fracture fixation, osteotomy, and arthrodesis. Implant provides mechanical compression across bone fragments to facilitate healing. Available in bridge sizes 9mm to 25mm; offered sterile or non-sterile. Operated by surgeons in clinical settings. Device functions via shape-memory properties of Nitinol; provides continuous compression to bone segments. Clinical benefit includes stabilization of bone fragments to promote union. No software or electronic components involved.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical studies were performed. Bench testing only: static and dynamic four-point bend tests, pull-out test, corrosion test, and LAL pyrogenicity assay (endotoxin level < 20 EU/device).

## Technological Characteristics

Materials: Nitinol (ASTM F-2063), Stainless steel (ASTM F899), 6061 Aluminum (ASTM B209). Principle: Superelastic shape-memory alloy bone staple. Form factor: Bridge sizes 9mm-25mm. Sterilization: Sterile and non-sterile options. No software or energy source.

## Regulatory Identification

Single/multiple component metallic bone fixation appliances and accessories are devices intended to be implanted consisting of one or more metallic components and their metallic fasteners. The devices contain a plate, a nail/plate combination, or a blade/plate combination that are made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, stainless steel, and titanium, that are intended to be held in position with fasteners, such as screws and nails, or bolts, nuts, and washers. These devices are used for fixation of fractures of the proximal or distal end of long bones, such as intracapsular, intertrochanteric, intercervical, supracondylar, or condylar fractures of the femur; for fusion of a joint; or for surgical procedures that involve cutting a bone. The devices may be implanted or attached through the skin so that a pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system.

Dear Mr. Webb:

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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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 of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/CombinationProducts/GuidanceRegulatoryInformation/ucm597488.html; good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97).

| Device Description:                                         | The DynaBridge Superelastic Nitinol Implant is a Nickel-Titanium alloy<br>(Nitinol) bone implant intended primarily for fixation of fractured, osteotomy,<br>and arthrodesis of the hand, foot, and bone appropriate for the size of the<br>device. The implant is offered in a range of sizes to address a variety of<br>indications and patient anatomy with bridge sizes from 9mm to 25mm. The<br>system is offered sterile and non-sterile.                                                                                                                                                                                                                        |                           |
| Indications for Use:                                        | The DynaBridge is indicated for:<br>· Fracture and osteotomy fixation and joint arthrodesis of the hand and foot.<br>· Fixation of proximal tibial metaphysis osteotomy.<br>· Hand and foot bone fragment and osteotomy fixation and joint arthrodesis.<br>· Fixation of small bone fragments (i.e. small fragments of bone which are<br>not comminuted to the extent to preclude staple placement). These<br>fragments may be located in long bones such as the femur, fibula, and tibia<br>in the lower extremities; the humerus, ulna, or radius in the upper<br>extremities; the clavicle and ribs; and in flat bones such as the pelvis,<br>scapula, and sternum. |                           |
