Devices are reprocessed from previously used components to restore functionality. Used by surgeons in clinical/OR settings to stabilize bone segments, provide traction, or facilitate bone healing. Mechanical assembly provides rigidity and stability to skeletal system. Benefits include stabilization of fractures and support for reconstructive procedures. Output is physical skeletal fixation. ## Clinical Evidence Bench testing only. Testing included validation of reprocessing, sterilization validation, and functional testing to demonstrate performance equivalent to original devices. ## Technological Characteristics Constructed from metal alloys, plastic, and composites. Mechanical design includes frames, clamps, rods, and fasteners. Provided sterile or non-sterile. No software or electronic components. ## 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. ## Predicate Devices - TempFix™ External Fixation System ([K021933](/device/K021933.md)) - TempFix™ External Fixation System, MR Safe ([K875022](/device/K875022.md)) - DePuy ACE AIM® Titanium Supracondylar Nail ([K875012](/device/K875012.md)) - Hoffmann Dynamic Wrist Fixator ([K910986](/device/K910986.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

Materials used include metal alloys, plastic and composites. These materials are chosen to address a wide range of fractures and applications as well as to allow for the appropriate amount of rigidity and stability. Intended use: External Fixation Devices are intended to be used for the fixation of supracondylar, or condylar fractures of the femur; for fusion of a joint; for surgical procedures that involve cutting the bone, for fixation of bone fractures; bone reconstruction; as a guide pin for insertion of other implants; or may be implanted through the skin so that a pulling force or traction may be applied to the skeletal system; and others 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 pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system. {1}------------------------------------------------ K052918 (pg 2 of 2) - Indications Reprocessed external fixation devices are indicated for use in statement: patients requiring external skeletal fixation and treatment of fractures, osteotomy, arthrodesis, correction of deformities, fracture revision, bone reconstruction procedures, limb lengthening, correction of bony or soft tissue deformities and segmental bony or soft tissue defects. - Technological The design, materials, and intended use of the Reprocessed External Fixation Devices are identical to the predicate devices. characteristics: The mechanism of action of the Reprocessed External Fixation. Device is identical to the predicate devices in that the same standard mechanical design, materials, shapes and sizes are utilized.
