Constructed from 316L stainless steel, the device functions as a bone fixation fastener to secure soft tissue. It is intended for clinical use by physicians in an operating room setting. The device provides mechanical fixation to facilitate tissue healing. ## Clinical Evidence No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence is based on design and functional similarities to predicate devices. ## Technological Characteristics Material: 316L stainless steel. Device type: Smooth or threaded metallic bone fixation fastener. Form factor: Implantable fixator. ## 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 - MITEK GII ([K953877](/device/K953877.md)) - ACUFEX MICROSURGICAL ([K884565](/device/K884565.md)) - ACUFEX MICROSURGICAL ([K896310](/device/K896310.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).

K896310: ACUFEX MICROSURGICAL (now SMITH & NEPHEW). Device intended use, description and substantial equivalence: The ADHOC® CLAW is an implant used for rotator cuff repair in shoulder surgery. The ADHOC® CLAW is made of 316L stainless steel. The ADHOC® CLAW and the predicate devices have the same final function. In addition, the small differences in design do not affect the use, safety and effectiveness, between the device and the predicate devices. Based on these similarities and equivalences we believe the ADHOC® CLAW is substantially equivalent to the MITEK GII and the Acufex Fixation Button. {1}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/1/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the Department of Health & Human Services - USA.

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. {2}------------------------------------------------ Part 2 - Mr. Steven Janin This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification.
