Intended Use

The Acute Bone Screw is a general purpose screw intended to stabilize and provide fixation for fractures, fusions, and osteotomies of the thorax (ribs, sternum, clavicle, scapula).

Device Story

Acute Bone Screw is a metallic bone fixation fastener; used to stabilize fractures, fusions, and osteotomies of the thorax (ribs, sternum, clavicle, scapula). Device consists of titanium screws in varying lengths; available in partially or fully threaded configurations; features hex drive head; may be cannulated or solid; used with or without plates or washers. Intended for use by surgeons in clinical settings. Provides mechanical fixation to support bone healing.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; bench testing not applicable.

Technological Characteristics

Titanium alloy per ASTM F-136; metallic bone fixation fastener; cannulated or solid; partially or fully threaded; hex drive head; non-sterile.

Indications for Use

Indicated for stabilization and fixation of fractures, fusions, and osteotomies of the thorax, including ribs, sternum, clavicle, and scapula.

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.

Predicate Devices

Device Description: The Acute Bone Screws consists of bone screws of varying lengths. The screws are partially and fully threaded, have a head with a hex drive, are cannulated or solid, and can be used with or without a plate or washer. The screws are manufactured out of titanium per ASTM F-136 and are provided non-sterile.

Intended Use: The Acute Bone Screw is a general purpose screw intended to stabilize and provide fixation for fractures, fusions, and osteotomies of the thorax (ribs, sternum, clavicle, scapula).

These are similar to intended use of predicate devices and do not raise new issues of safety and effectiveness.

Technological Characteristics: The Acute Bone Screws are made out of Titanium per ASTM F-136. The equivalent screw device listed for Acumed also use Titanium per ASTM F-136.

An assessment of performance data is not applicable. A discussion of clinical and non-clinical tests is not applicable.

Based upon the similarities of the Acute Bone Screw and the predicate devices studied, the safety and effectiveness of the Acute Bone Screw is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices referenced,
