Intended Use

reVERTO™ Shape Memory Staples are intended for use in: Fixation of Osteotomies of the Hand, Foot and Tibia Arthrodesis of the Joints of the Hand and Foot Fixation of Soft Tissue to Bone, as in the case of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament reVERTO™ Shape Memory Staples are also indicated for adjunctive fixation of Small Bone Fragments of: The Upper Extremity, such as the Radius, Ulna, Humerus, Clavicle and Scapula The Lower Extremity, such as the Tibia, Fibula and the Femur The Upper Torso, such as the Sternum and the Ribs

Device Story

Dynamic compression implant; NiTinol (nickel-titanium) shape memory alloy construction. Implant legs deflect to generate continuous compressive force across fixation site during healing. Used for osteotomy fixation, arthrodesis, and soft tissue-to-bone attachment. Provides low-profile fixation; requires less bone disruption than traditional screws/plates. Implanted by surgeons in clinical/OR settings. Benefits patient via sustained compression during bone healing.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; bench testing only.

Technological Characteristics

Material: NiTinol (nickel-titanium alloy). Principle: Shape memory effect for dynamic compression. Form factor: Staple. Energy source: Passive (thermal/mechanical shape memory).

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients requiring bone fixation or arthrodesis in the hand, foot, tibia, or small bone fragments of the upper/lower extremities and upper torso (sternum/ribs), and soft tissue-to-bone fixation (e.g., ACL).

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.

### Brief Description of Device

reVERTOTM Shape Memory Staples are dynamic compression implants that use shape memory metal nickel-titanium alloy called NiTinol (see below for more information on NiTinol). The NiTinol construction causes the legs of the implant to deflect, thereby creating a compressive force across the site of fixation. reVERTO Shape Memory Staples are advantageous to screws and plates in that they require less disruption of the surrounding bone for implantation and provide a 'low-profile' fixation. The most important factor related to the use of NiTinol is its ability to maintain a compressive force across the site of fixation during the healing process.

#### Indications for Use

reVERTO™ Shape Memory Staples are intended for use in:

Fixation of Osteotomies of the Hand, Foot and Tibia

Arthrodesis of the Joints of the Hand and Foot

Fixation of Soft Tissue to Bone, as in the case of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament

reVERTO™ Shape Memory Staples are also indicated for adjunctive fixation of Small Bone Fragments of:

The Upper Extremity, such as the Radius, Ulna, Humerus, Clavicle and Scapula

The Lower Extremity, such as the Tibia, Fibula and the Femur

The Upper Torso, such as the Sternum and the Ribs

### Basis for Substantial Equivalence

The substantial equivalence of the reVERTO Shape Memory Staples is based on the equivalence in intended use, materials, operational principals, and indications to:

Dear Mr. Huxel:

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.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies.
