## Intended Use

The Jazz Systems are temporary implants to be used in orthopedic surgery. The Jazz Systems are intended to provide temporary stabilization as a bone anchor during the development of solid bony fusion and aid in the repair of bone fractures. The indications for use include the following applications: - 1. Spinal trauma surgery, used in sublaminar or facet wiring techniques; - 2. Spinal reconstructive surgery, incorporated into constructs for the purpose of correction of spinal deformities such as adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, adult scoliosis, kyphosis and spondylolisthesis; - 3. Spinal degenerative surgery, as an adjunct to spinal fusions. The Jazz Systems may also be used in conjunction with other medical implants made of titanium alloy or cobalt-chromium-molybdenum allov whenever "wiring" may help secure the attachment of other implants.

## Device Story

JAZZ Passer Band is a temporary orthopedic implant component of the JAZZ System; functions as a bone anchor for stabilization during bony fusion or fracture repair. Device consists of a braid with a buckle; used in spinal surgery to secure other implants (titanium or cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy) to the spine. Modification from predicate involves removing the distal metal strip and adding a hole to interface with new surgical instruments. Used by surgeons in clinical settings; provides mechanical stabilization to spinal constructs.

## Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Static tensile testing was performed to evaluate the strength of the modified band extremity (the new interface hole) compared to the predicate.

## Technological Characteristics

Temporary orthopedic bone fixation cerclage implant. Composed of braid with buckle. Modification involves removal of distal metal strip and addition of a hole for instrument interface. Mechanical principle of operation remains identical to predicate. No software or electronic components.

## Regulatory Identification

A bone fixation cerclage is a device intended to be implanted that is made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, and that consists of a metallic ribbon or flat sheet or a wire. The device is wrapped around the shaft of a long bone, anchored to the bone with wire or screws, and used in the fixation of fractures.

Dear Ms. Hogan:

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.

Implanet's JAZZ Band (K170730) (primary) Implanet's JAZZ Frame (K162764) (additional) Implanet's JAZZ Lock (K153348) (additional) lmplanet's JAZZ Claw (K160226) (additional) Implanet's Jazz Systems (K151740) (additional)

## Device Description

The Jazz Systems consists of the following components: JAZZ Connector, JAZZ Claw Connector, JAZZ Claw hooks, JAZZ Lock Connector, various rods, and JAZZ Braid (a.k.a. Band) with buckle. The JAZZ Band is inserted into various JAZZ connectors and is used to attach them to the spine.

## Intended Use/Indications for Use

The Jazz Systems are temporary implants to be used in orthopedic surgery. The Jazz Systems are intended to provide temporary stabilization as a bone anchor during the development of solid bony fusion and aid in the repair of bone fractures.

The indications for use include the following applications:

- Spinal trauma surgery, used in sublaminar or facet wiring techniques; 4.
- 5. Spinal reconstructive surgery, incorporated into constructs for the purpose of correction of spinal deformities such as adolescent idiopathic scoliosis, adult scoliosis, kyphosis and spondvlolisthesis:
- 6. Spinal degenerative surgery, as an adjunct to spinal fusions.

The Jazz Systems may also be used in conjunction with other medical implants made of titanium alloy or cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy whenever "wiring" may help secure the attachment of other implants.

## Purpose of 510(k)

The purpose of this 510(k) is to modify the Jazz Band component of the Jazz Systems, renaming it the JAZZ Passer Band. The band is being modified to allow use of different surgical instruments.

## Technological Characteristics

The JAZZ Passer Band is identical to the predicate in terms of materials, overall dimensions, with only minor modifications to the manufacturing method. The two braids primarily differ in that the Passer Band does not have a distal metal strip for insertion and contains a small

hole for interfacing with the new surgical instruments. No changes are being made to other components in the JAZZ System.

#### Performance Data

These changes were assessed per static tensile testing to evaluate the strength of the hole at the band extremity.

#### Conclusions

The modified JAZZ Passer Band is as safe and effective as the predicate JAZZ Band. The JAZZ Passer Band has the same intended uses and indications, as well as similar technological characteristics and principles of operation as its predicate device. In addition, the minor technological differences between the JAZZ Passer Band and its predicate devices raise no new or different issues of safety or effectiveness. Performance data demonstrate that the modified JAZZ Passer Band is as safe and effective as the predicate JAZZ Band. Thus, the JAZZ Passer Band is substantially equivalent.
