Intended Use
The Sonoma Fibula Repair System is intended for use in the fixation of fibula fractures.
Device Story
The Sonoma Fibula Repair System is an orthopedic implant set for fibula fracture fixation. It consists of a fibula rod, bone screws, and an end cap. Unlike traditional intramedullary nails, the rod features an ActivLoc fixation gripper system at the proximal end, enabling proximal fixation without screws. The device is used by orthopedic surgeons in a clinical or surgical setting to stabilize fractures. The surgeon inserts the rod into the intramedullary canal; the gripper system secures the proximal end, while distal screws provide additional stability. This system aims to provide secure fracture fixation, potentially reducing the need for proximal screw placement and facilitating bone healing.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Engineering analysis and mechanical testing were performed in accordance with ASTM F1264-03(07). Results confirmed equivalence to predicate Acumed rods in cyclic bending fatigue, static bending, and static torsion.
Technological Characteristics
Implants composed of 316 stainless steel per ASTM F138. Features intramedullary rod with proximal ActivLoc fixation gripper system. Distal fixation via 2.7 mm diameter screws. Mechanical performance validated per ASTM F1264-03(07).
Indications for Use
Indicated for the fixation of fibula fractures in patients requiring intramedullary stabilization.
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.

Dear Ms. Norman:
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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
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 comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing

| Device Description: | The Sonoma Fibula Repair System includes all implants and<br>instruments required for the fixation of fibula fractures. The Fibula<br>Repair System includes the Sonoma Fibula Rod, Sonoma Bone<br>Screws, End Cap and related instruments. Sonoma's Fibula Rod<br>differs from traditional nails or rods as it utilizes Sonoma's<br>ActivLoc® fixation gripper system at the proximal end of the rod<br>to allow for proximal fixation without the use of screws. The<br>implants are composed of 316 stainless steel per ASTM F138. | |
| Indications for Use: | The Sonoma Fibula Repair System is intended for use in the<br>fixation of fibula fractures. | |
| Substantial Equivalence: | The intended use of the subject device is the same as the predicate<br>devices. The indications for use for the subject device is limited to<br>the fibula as opposed to additional anatomical locations for the<br>predicate devices. The material of the subject device is the same<br>as the Acumed Small Bone Locking Rod System (K071994). The<br>dimensions of the subject device are within the range of the<br>predicate devices for proximal and distal diameter, lateral bend,<br>length, screw orientation, and placement of screws from the end of<br>the rod. The subject device utilizes 2.7 mm diameter distal screws<br>as opposed to 3.5 mm diameter distal screws. The subject devices<br>use three (3) distal screws as opposed to two (2) distal screws.<br>Thus, the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate<br>devices. | |
| Performance Testing: | Engineering analysis and mechanical testing according to ASTM<br>F1264-03(07) confirmed that the subject rods are equivalent to<br>predicate Acumed rods in cyclic bending fatigue, static bending<br>and static torsion. | |
