## Intended Use

The KAPP Radial Elbow Implant is intended to be used for: replacement of the proximal end of the radius: Replacement of the radial head for degenerative, or post-traumatic disabilities presenting pain, crepitation and decreased motion at the radio-humeral and or proximal radio-ulnar joint with either joint destruction or subluxation visible on xray and or resistance to conservative treatment; Primary replacement after fracture of the radial head; Symptomatic sequelae after radial head resection; Revision following failed radial head arthroplasty. The device is intended for custom single use with bone cement.

## Device Story

Custom radial head elbow implant; replaces proximal end of radius. Device consists of implant and sizers; fixed via intermedullary canal stem using bone cement. Used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical/surgical settings to treat degenerative or post-traumatic joint conditions, fractures, or failed prior arthroplasty. Provides mechanical replacement of radial head to restore joint function and reduce pain. Single-use device.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence based on design and material characteristics.

## Technological Characteristics

Material: 316L stainless steel. Fixation: Intermedullary canal stem. Constraint: Non-constrained. Configuration: Custom sizes (2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 6). Fixation method: Bone cement.

## Regulatory Identification

Dear Mr. Santilli:

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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such 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); 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.
