Intended Use
This implant is indicated as a temporary implant to aid in the healing of long diaphysis fractures, osteotomies, malunions and nonunions and to prevent further fractures in femur, tibia and humerus in pediatric patients suffering from Osteogenesis Imperfecta without disrupting the bone growth plate. It can be used in procedures such as bone lengthening concomitantly with external fixators in pediatric or small statured patients with limb length discrepancy.
Device Story
Fassier-Duval Pediatric IM System is a telescopic intramedullary nail designed for pediatric orthopedic fixation. Device consists of two sliding components: a female component anchored to the proximal cortex and a male component anchored to the distal cortex via screw-type fixation. Telescopic design allows the nail to extend in length as the patient grows, facilitating bone healing without disrupting growth plates. Used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical settings for fracture management and limb length discrepancy correction. System provides structural support to long bones; allows for natural bone growth; reduces re-operation and complication rates compared to traditional non-telescopic nails.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical data submitted comparing the Fassier-Duval system to the Dubow-Bailey Intramedullary Nail in the operative treatment of Osteogenesis Imperfecta. Results demonstrated a 3-fold reduction in re-operation rate and a 2 to 3-fold reduction in complication rate for the subject device. Preclinical bench testing performed according to ASTM F 1264 (four-point bending).
Technological Characteristics
Telescopic intramedullary nail system; two-piece sliding design (male/female components); screw-type fixation. Mechanical testing performed per ASTM F 1264 (four-point bending).
Indications for Use
Indicated for pediatric patients with Osteogenesis Imperfecta requiring temporary fixation of long bone fractures (femur, tibia, humerus), osteotomies, malunions, or nonunions, and for pediatric or small-statured patients requiring bone lengthening/shortening for limb length discrepancy. Contraindicated if growth plate disruption is required.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An intramedullary fixation rod is a device intended to be implanted that consists of a rod made of alloys such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum and stainless steel. It is inserted into the medullary (bone marrow) canal of long bones for the fixation of fractures.

### 510 (k) SUMMARY OF SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS
Contact Person: Ariel R. Dujovne, M.Sc
Pega Medical Inc. 9260 boul Viau, Montreal Ouebec. H1R 2V8 CANADA (514) 322-8560 ext. 241
Proprietary Name: Fassier-Duval Pediatric IM System
Common Name: Telescopic Nail
Device Classification: Class II
Classification Name: Intramedullary fixation rod - 21CFR 888.3020/888.3030/888.3040
#### Establishment Registration Number: 9048931
Intended Use: This implant is indicated as a temporary implant to aid in the healing of long diaphysis fractures, osteotomies, malunions and nonunions and to prevent further fractures in femur, tibia and humerus in pediatric patients suffering from Osteogenesis Imperfecta without disrupting the bone growth plate. It can be used in procedures such as bone lengthening concomitantly with external fixators in pediatric or small statured patients with limb length discrepancy.
Description: The Fassier-Duval Pediatric IM System is a telescopic rod for use in fixation of long bone fractures. The design of the nail includes a female component (which is attached to the proximal -trochanteric- cortex of the bone) and a male component (which is attached to the distal cortex of the bone). Anchorage of the components is achieved through screw-type fixation. The nail is composed of two sliding components that allow for extension of its length as the bone structures heal and normal patient growth occurs. The Fassier-Duval Pediatric IM System can be attached to bony structures without disrupting the bone growth plates.
{1}------------------------------------------------
### Basis for substantial equivalent:
The Fassier-Duval Pediatric IM System is claimed to be substantially equivalent in design and function to the following predicate devices:
- 1. Dubow-Bailey Intramedullary Nail, Zimmer, Inc. Warsaw, IN (510(k) number - Not available, pre-amendment device)
- 2. Retrograde Pediatric Nail, Encore Orthopedics, Inc., Austin, TX (K980854)
- 3. Intramdedullary Fixation Rod/Pin, Synthes (USA), Paoli, PA (K971783)
- 4. The Grosse & Kempf Intramedullary Nail, Howmedica, Rutherford, NJ (K813371)
The intended uses of these devices are the same as the Fassier-Duval Pediatric IM System.
The technological characteristics of the Fassier-Duval Pediatric IM System are identical to the ones of the Dubow-Bailey Intramedullary Nail except for the method of fixation. Clinical data submitted with the current application demonstrated that in the operative treatment of OI, the Fassier-Duval Pediatric IM System produces a 3fold reduction in the re-operation rate and a 2 to 3-fold reduction in the complication rate, compared to the predicate device #1.
For predicated devices #2, 3 and 4, substantial equivalence was demonstrated by preclinical data according to ASTM F 1264 (four point bending). Although there are several design differences with the predicate devices, they do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness.
