Intended Use

The FastForward device is intended to assist in the correction of Hallux Valgus deformities by providing reduction of the 1st Intermetatarsal angle.

Device Story

FastForward is a titanium (Ti-6AL-4V ELI) button implant designed for lateral 1st metatarsal fixation. Used in orthopedic surgery to assist in Hallux Valgus correction; the device is implanted with suture or suture tape to provide reduction of the 1st Intermetatarsal angle. It functions as a bone fixation appliance, providing mechanical stability to the metatarsal construct. The device is intended for use by surgeons in a clinical/OR setting. It benefits patients by maintaining reduction of the deformity during the healing process.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Testing included pullout/fracture strength evaluation and monotonic/cyclic tension and shear testing on full constructs using various suture sizes and materials.

Technological Characteristics

Material: Titanium (Ti-6AL-4V ELI). Form factor: Button for bone fixation. Energy source: None (mechanical). Connectivity: None. Sterilization: Not specified. Principle: Mechanical fixation via suture/suture tape for bone reduction.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring correction of Hallux Valgus deformities via reduction of the 1st Intermetatarsal angle.

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.

Dear Mr. Blair:

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.

### G. Indications for Use:

The FastForward device is intended to assist in the correction of Hallux Valgus deformities by providing reduction of the 1st Intermetatarsal angle.

#### H. Comparison of Technological Characteristics:

The FastForward is substantially equivalent in design, function and intended use to the following predicate device:

Arthrex Mini Tightrope, K061925

Any differences between the proposed and predicate devices do not raise safety or efficacy concerns. Pullout/fracture strength testing of the predicate and proposed devices was conducted. The proposed device was evaluated in conjunction with various suture sizes and materials. Monotonic and cyclic tension and shear testing was completed on full constructs which included 185 metatarsal fixation. Testing and analysis substantiates the statement that the proposed device performs equivalently to the predicate device.
