## Intended Use

The SI-Bone SI Joint Fusion System is intended for fracture fixation of large bones and large bone fragments of the pelvis for conditions including sacroiliac joint disruptions and degenerative sacroiliitis.

## Device Story

The SI Joint Fusion System is an orthopedic implant system used by surgeons to achieve fixation of the sacroiliac joint. The device consists of metallic (titanium) rods with a porous plasma spray coating, designed for surgical implantation into the bone. The system includes rods with diameters of 4.0 mm and 7.0 mm and lengths ranging from 30 mm to 70 mm. By providing mechanical stabilization, the rods facilitate fusion of the joint, addressing conditions such as sacroiliac joint disruptions and degenerative sacroiliitis. The device is used in a clinical/surgical setting.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) was performed to compare the fixation performance of the modified SI Joint Fusion System against the predicate device. Results indicated substantial equivalence in fixation capabilities.

## Technological Characteristics

Metallic (titanium) rods with porous plasma spray coating. Diameters: 4.0 mm and 7.0 mm. Lengths: 30 mm to 70 mm. Mechanical fixation device. No software or electronic components.

## 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.

## Name of Device and Name/Address of Sponsor

SI Joint Fusion System

SI-Bone, Inc. 20045 Stevens Creek Blvd. Suite 1F Cupertino, CA 95014

Common or Usual Name: Orthopedic Rods

Classification Name: 21 C.F.R. 888.3040 - Smooth or threaded metallic bone fastener

### Predicate Devices

SI-Bone, Inc's SI Joint Fusion System

## Purpose of the Special 510(k) notice.

The SI Joint Fusion System is a modification to SI-Bone's cleared SI Joint Fusion System.

### Intended Use

The SI Joint Fusion System is intended for fracture fixation of large bones and large bone fragments of the pelvis for conditions including sacroiliac joint disruptions and degenerative sacroiliitis.

## Technological Characteristics

The SI Fusion System consists of a series of metallic (titanium), porous plasma spray coated rods, intended for surgical implant within the bone to create fixation. The system includes 4.0 mm and 7.0 mm diameter fusion rods, which range in length from 30 mm to 70 mm.

## Performance Data

A Finite Element Analysis (FEA) was performed on the SI Fusion System in comparison to its predicate. Results demonstrate that the SI Fusion System is substantially equivalent with respect to fixation of the SI joint. で

#### Substantial Equivalence

The SI Joint Fusion System has the same intended use and similar indications, principles of operation, and technological characteristics as the predicate SI Joint Fusion System. The minor differences in the SI Joint Fusion System's technological characteristics, namely the inclusion of 4.0 mm diameter rods in the system, do not raise any new questions of safety or effectiveness. Performance data demonstrates that the SI Joint Fusion System is as safe and effective as previously cleared SI Joint Fusion System. Thus, the SI Joint Fusion System is substantially equivalent to its predicate device.

Dear Mr. Holstein:

This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of September 04, 2009.

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 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
