Clinical Evidence

No clinical data. Substantial equivalence is based on performance evaluations and comparison testing to predicate devices.

Technological Characteristics

Bioabsorbable implant; single-use; sterile. Functions as a bone fixation fastener. Design and materials are similar to existing absorbable, implantable general, orthopedic, and plastic surgery devices.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients undergoing subperiosteal browplasty surgery requiring fixation of the subdermis to the cranial bone.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A smooth or threaded metallic bone fixation fastener is a device intended to be implanted that consists of a stiff wire segment or rod made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum and stainless steel, and that may be smooth on the outside, fully or partially threaded, straight or U-shaped; and may be either blunt pointed, sharp pointed, or have a formed, slotted head on the end. It may be used for fixation of bone fractures, for bone reconstructions, as a guide pin for insertion of other implants, or it may be implanted through the skin so that a pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system.

### SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALANCE COMPARISON

#### 1. Indications Summary

The "Indication Statement" for the ULTRATINE Forehead™ is substantiated by the results of the performance evaluations and comparison testing to the predicate devices. The selected predicate devices are used in forehead lift procedures. The differences between the ULTRATINE Forehead™ and the predicate devices does not affect the safety and effectiveness of the ULTRATINE Forehead™.

#### 2. Technological Characteristics Summary

The ULTRATINE Forehead™ is substantially equivalent in design, materials and fundamental scientific technology to the predicate devices. Further, the technological characteristics of the ULTRATINE Forehead™ are similar to many absorbable, implantable general, orthopedic and plastic surgery devices legally distributed by other manufacturers. Any differences between the ULTRATINE Forehead™ and the predicate devices are minor and do not raise issues regarding safety or effectiveness.

#### 3. Performance Summary

The ULTRATINE Forehead™ performance data meet the applicable standards and fulfill the device requirements as defined in the user specifications.

### SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE CONCLUSION

Based on the design, materials, function, intended use, and performance evaluations discussed herein, Coapt Systems believes the ULTRATINE Forehead™ is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices currently marketed under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. No new issues of safety or effectiveness were raised for the ULTRATINE Forehead™ Device. Therefore, safety and effectiveness are reasonably assured, justifying 510(k) clearance for commercial sale.

Dear Ms. Ruedy:

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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such 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.
