Symptomatic acquired flat foot treatment in children and adolescents .
Symptomatic congenital flexible flat foot .
Tarsal coalitions when associated with a flatfoot deformity .
Posterior tibial tendon dysfunction with supple feet .
Paralytic flat foot .

Description:

The Arthrex Arthroeresis Family is currently comprised of titanium allov implants according to ASTM F-136. They are offered in several different sizes. They are offered sterile.

Indications for Use:

Examples include:

. Symptomatic acquired flat foot treatment in children and adolescents
Symptomatic congenital flexible flat foot .
♥ Tarsal coalitions when associated with a flatfoot deformity
Posterior tibial tendon dysfunction with supple feet ◆
Paralytic flat foot ♥

Technical Differences:

The basis for substantial equivalence is in supporting the use of your device in the same manner as that of a competitor. The above listed predicate devices have been tested against the Arthrex Arthroeresis Implant and per enclosed testing, outperform or meet the parameters set by Arthrex competitors.

{1}------------------------------------------------

Substantial Equivalence:

By definition, substantial equivalence means that a device has the same intended use and technical characteristics as the predicate device, or has the same intended use and different technological characteristics, but can be demonstrated to be as safe and effective as the predicate device for the previously cleared indications for use. The Arthroeresis Family of Implants does not raise any questions regarding the safety and effectiveness of the implant. Furthermore, the materials used in construction of these devices are well characterized and have been used in predicate devices with similar indications.

Dear Ms. Waterhouse:

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.

Regulation Number and Section

§ 888.3040 Smooth or threaded metallic bone fixation fastener.

(a)
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.(b)
Classification. Class II.
