The Frag-Loc® System is intended to provide compression to bones and bone fragments for the fixation of fractures, fusions, or osteotomies.
Device Story
Frag-Loc® System consists of metallic screws, sleeves, and washers; implanted from opposite ends of bone to provide compression across fracture sites, fusions, or osteotomies. Used by orthopedic surgeons in clinical settings to stabilize bone fragments. Device functions as mechanical fixation hardware; provides compression to facilitate healing. Benefits include stable fixation of bone segments.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Axial pull-out and 4-point bend testing were performed to characterize strength. Results met pre-determined acceptance criteria defined in the Design Control Activities Summary.
Technological Characteristics
System components include screws, sleeves, and washers made of biocompatible metals. Mechanical fixation device; no energy source or software. Dimensions and form factor vary by size. Sterilization method not specified.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients requiring bone fixation for fractures, fusions, or osteotomies where compression of bone fragments is necessary.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
Single/multiple component metallic bone fixation appliances and accessories are devices intended to be implanted consisting of one or more metallic components and their metallic fasteners. The devices contain a plate, a nail/plate combination, or a blade/plate combination that are made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, stainless steel, and titanium, that are intended to be held in position with fasteners, such as screws and nails, or bolts, nuts, and washers. These devices are used for fixation of fractures of the proximal or distal end of long bones, such as intracapsular, intertrochanteric, intercervical, supracondylar, or condylar fractures of the femur; for fusion of a joint; or for surgical procedures that involve cutting a bone. The devices may be implanted or attached through the skin so that a pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system.

## Indications For Use:
The Frag-Loo® System is intended to provide compression to bones and bone fragments for the fixation of fractures, fusions, or osteotomies.
# Device Description:
The Frag-Loc® System consists of various sizes of screws, sleeves, and washers which are implanted from opposite ends of a bone in order to provide compression to bones and bone fragments for the fixation of fractures, fusions, or osteotomies.
### Predicate Device:
The subject Frag-Loc® System is substantially equivalent to the predicate Trans-Osseous Bolt (K982354) with respect to intended use, geometry, and method of fixation. Although the materials in these systems differ, both are made of biocompatible metals and the testing summarized in the Design Control Activities Summary demonstrates that the Frag-Loc® System met the pre-determined acceptance criteria for the verification activities.
{1}------------------------------------------------
# Preclinical Testing:
The new Frag-Loc® System components were subjected to axial pull-out and 4-point bend testing to characterize their strength. The results demonstrate that the acceptance criteria defined in the Design Control Activities Summary were met.

Dear Ms. Budor:
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.
