Device Facts

• Record ID: K011875
• Device Name: MODIFICATION TO THE TAC' PIN
• Applicant: New Deal, S.A.
• Product Code: JDW · Orthopedic
• Decision Date: Sep 6, 2001
• Decision: SESE
• Submission Type: Traditional
• Regulation: 21 CFR 888.3040
• Device Class: Class 2
• Attributes: Therapeutic

Intended Use

The TAC'pin® is intended to be implanted for fixation of bone fractures or for bone reconstructions.

Device Story

TAC'pin is a self-tapping threaded bone fixation wire. Surgeon uses standard power tool to position wire; variable pitch design provides compression. Proximal end is cut by surgeon after placement; only threaded portion remains in patient. Used in orthopedic procedures for bone fracture fixation or reconstruction in hand/foot surgery. Benefits include stable fixation of small bone fragments and osteotomies.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Bench testing only.

Technological Characteristics

Metallic bone fixation fastener. Self-tapping threaded wire with variable pitch. Proximal diameter 1.6mm. Material identical to predicate. Designed for use with standard surgical power tools.

Indications for Use

Indicated for fixation of bone fractures or bone reconstruction, including small bone fragments in long or small bones, arthrodesis in hand or foot surgery, mono or bi-cortical osteotomies in foot or hand, distal or proximal metatarsal or metacarpal osteotomies, and fixation of osteotomies for Hallux Valgus treatment (e.g., Scarf, Chevron).

Regulatory Classification

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

• Threaded fixation pin, Sgarlato laboratories (K982931)
• Kirschner wires and Steinmann pins, Syntec-Taichung Medical Instruments (K983121)

- DEVICE PRODUCT CODE: 87JDW I.
- 87 OR PANEL CODE: J.
- DESCRIPTION OF DEVICE: The TAC'pin® is a self tapping threaded wire. K. DESCRIT TION OF DE PERFECT and re standard surgical power tool equipment and once the threaded wire is introduced and positioned as required, the surgeon cuts the threaded who 'is 'into one surface. The lengths of threads available are the following prouding partue the boss pin is designed with a variable pitch, for a true and adapted compression.
- INTENDED USE: The TAC'pin® is intended to be implanted for fixation of L. bone fractures or for bone reconstructions.
- INDICATIONS FOR USE: The "new" TAC'pin® is indicated for fixation of M. bone fractures or for bone reconstruction. Examples include:

Fixation of small bone fragments, in long bones or small bones fractures.

- Arthrodesis in hand or foot surgery .
- Mono or Bi-cortical osteotomies in the foot or hand .
- Distal or proximal metatarsal or metacarpal osteotomies .
- Fixation of osteotomies for Hallux Valgus treatment (such as Scarf, . Chevron, etc.)
- The "new" TAC'pin® is technically equivalent to the PREDICATE DEVICE N. TAC'pin® currently approved (K993910). The "new" TAC'pin® is substantially equivalent to the Threaded fixation pin manufactured by Sgarlato laboratories (K982931), and the Kirschner wires and Steinmann pins manufactured by Syntec-Taichung Medical Instruments (K983121).

### COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS 0.

The "new" TAC'pin® is technically equivalent to the device currently approved. They have the same intended use, the same material, and the design of the active part (threaded part) has not changed. The following design change should however be noted : The diameter of the proximal (non threaded) part of the pin has been decreased from 1.7mm to 1.6mm, for a better adaptation to power drills (wire drivers) commonly used by the surgeons. This has not changed anything to the "active" part of the pin, as this proximal part of diameter 1.6mm is cut by the surgeon once the pin is in place. It does not remain in the patient.
