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.

All medical devices, including Class I and unclassified devices and combination product device constituent parts are required to be in compliance with the final Unique Device Identification System rule ("UDI Rule"). The UDI Rule requires, among other things, that a device identifier (UDI) on its label and package (21 CFR 801.20(a)) unless an exception or alternative applies (21 CFR 801.20(b)) and that the dates on the device label be formatted in accordance with 21 CFR 801.18. The UDI Rule (21 CFR 830.300(a) and 830.320(b)) also requires that certain information be submitted to the Global Unique Device Identification Database (GUDID) (21 CFR Part 830 Subpart E). For additional information on these requirements, please see the UDI System webpage at https://www.fda.gov/medical-device-advicecomprehensive-regulatory-assistance/unique-device-identification-system.

## PREDICATE DEVICE IDENTIFICATION

The Caliber Intramedullary Fixation System is substantially equivalent to the following predicates:

| 510(k) Number | Predicate Device Name / Manufacturer | Primary<br>Predicate |
|---------------|------------------------------------------------|----------------------|
| K083144 | Acumed Clavicle Screw System | ✓ |
| K182949 | Healix Compression Screw System | |
| K103001 | DePuy Orthopaedics, Inc, Rockwood Clavicle Pin | |

#### SUMMARY OF NON-CLINICAL TESTING

The Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff - "Orthopedic Non-Spinal Metallic Bone Screws and Washers - Performance Criteria for Safety and Performance Based Pathway" have been established for the Caliber Intramedullary Fixation System. The following tests were performed to demonstrate safety based on recognized consensus standards and current industry practice:

- . Torsion, driving torque, and axial pullout (per ASTM F543)
- . Static and dynamic bending (per ASTM F1264)

The results of these tests, as well as engineering analysis of device characteristics, indicate that Caliber Intramedullary Fixation System is equivalent to specified standards.

#### EQUIVALENCE TO PREDICATE DEVICES

Nvision believes that the Caliber Intramedullary Fixation System is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices based on the information summarized here:

The subject device has a similar design, similar dimensions, and uses similar or identical materials as the devices cleared in K083144, K182949, and K103001. The subject device also has the same intended use, as well as similar technological characteristics (self-tapping threads, cannulation) as these predicates. The Indications for Use are equivalent and any minor differences in wording choices are insignificant. These technological characteristics have undergone testing and engineering analysis to ensure the device is as safe and effective as the predicates.

#### CONCLUSION

Based on the testing performed, including static bending, dynamic bending, torsion, driving torque, and axial pullout, as well as engineering analysis of device characteristics, it can be concluded that the subject device does not raise new issues of safety or efficacy compared to the predicate devices. The similar indications for use, technological characteristics, and performance characteristics for the proposed Caliber Intramedullary Fixation System are assessed to be substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
