(Onux Medical, Inc.) | #### Device Description: D. The Salute II Disposable Fixation Device consists of a handle, shaft/shaft tip and comes preloaded with 316L stainless steel wire. The device is used to deliver permanently implanted Q-shaped constructs (Q-Rings). Depending on user preference, the device is offered in an 18cm shaft preloaded with either 10 or 30 Q-Rings and a 38cm shaft (fits into a 5mm trocar) preloaded with either 10, 30, or 60 Q-Rings. #### Intended Use: E. The Salute II Disposable Fixation Device is indicated for use in a variety of laparoscopic/endoscopic or open surgical procedures for fixation of prosthetic material and approximation of tissue. {1}------------------------------------------------ ## Summary of Similarities and Differences in Technological F. Characteristics, Performance and Intended Use The Proposed and Predicate Products are designed to place stainless steel wire into tissue/prosthetics to fixate prosthetics/approximate tissue. Both consist of a handle and shaft, which are used to deliver permanently implanted, 316L stainless steel Q-shaped constructs (Q-rings). The key differences between the Proposed and Predicate Products are: number of Q-rings delivered; disposable instead of reusable; preloaded with 316L stainless steel wire instead of a separate implant cartridge. In addition, the Proposed Product includes some features (distal tip rotation, end of construct indication, and handle lock-out when the wire is depleted) not available in the currently marketed Product. The new features were added as user conveniences based on market and user feedback. #### Performance Data G. Based on bench testing, the Proposed Product delivers the same shape and comparably sized Q-rings, which provides equivalent fixation. In addition, biocompatibility will be completed and passed before the Proposed Product is launched. Therefore, based on bench testing and biocompatibility, the Proposed Product will be safe and effective for its intended use. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
