Intended Use

The AREX SCRU2 headless compression screw is intended for fixation of intra-articular and extra-articular fractures of the upper and lower extremities, as well as nonunions of small bones and bone fragments, arthrodesis of small joints, bunionectomies and osteotomies. Examples include scaphoid and other carpal bones, metacarpais, tarsals, metatarsals, patella, ulnar styloid, capitellum, radial head and radial styloid.

Device Story

AREX SCRU 2 is a cannulated, self-drilling, self-tapping, dual-pitch threaded headless compression screw; designed for fixation of small bone fractures, nonunions, and arthrodesis. Device is implanted by surgeons in clinical settings to provide mechanical compression across bone fragments. Titanium alloy construction allows for countersinking into bone. Benefits include stabilization of small bone fractures and joints to facilitate healing.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data; bench testing only.

Technological Characteristics

Cannulated, self-drilling, self-tapping, dual-pitch threaded headless compression screw. Material: Titanium alloy. Dimensions: 2.5mm or 3mm OD; 10mm to 45mm lengths. Non-sterile.

Indications for Use

Indicated for fixation of intra-articular and extra-articular fractures of upper and lower extremities, nonunions of small bones/fragments, arthrodesis of small joints, bunionectomies, and osteotomies in patients requiring bone fixation.

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.

Dear Ms. Hokanson:

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. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set

forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Center for Devices and Radiological Health's (CDRH's) Office of Compliance at [phone]. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding postmarket surveillance, please contact CDRH's Office of Surveillance and Biometric's (OSB's) Division of Postmarket Surveillance at [phone]. For questions regarding the reporting of device adverse events (Medical Device Reporting (MDR)), please contact the Division of Surveillance Systems at [phone]. You may obtain other general information on your responsibilities under the Act from the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at toll-free number [phone] or [phone] or the Internet address http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/industry/support/index.html.
