The system is manufactured from titanium alloy Ti6Al4V, a medical-grade material that is recognized as generally accepted for the manufacture of implants for their level of biocompatibility with surrounding tissues.
The provided document describes the Ins Hilden Humeral Arzzt, Ins Hilden Cannulated Tibial Arzzt, Ins Hilden Femoral Arzzt, and Ins Hilden Retrograde Femoral Arzzt systems, which are intramedullary fixation rods. The document asserts their substantial equivalence to predicate devices.
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:
The document does not explicitly state "acceptance criteria" in a quantitative manner for specific performance metrics in the way one might expect for a diagnostic or AI-driven device. Instead, it focuses on demonstrating substantial equivalence to predicate devices through engineering analysis and material biocompatibility.
The "acceptance criteria" can be inferred from the comparisons made:
- Mechanical Performance: The subject devices must show comparable or superior static bending and torsional yield performance to the predicate devices.
- Biocompatibility: The subject devices must be made of materials recognized as safe for medical implants and demonstrate no increased risk due to manufacturing processes.
- Intended Use & Design: The subject devices must have similar intended uses (fixation of fractures of different types, malunion, non-unions of Femur, Tibia, and Humerus) and their design differences (angles, curvatures, lengths) should not affect the final result or increase risks.
| Category | Acceptance Criteria (Inferred from comparison) | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|---|
| Mechanical Strength | Static bending and torsional yield performance comparable or superior to predicate devices. | Engineering analyses confirmed substantial equivalence and that subject devices are stronger when applying the same force than predicate devices K033878 and K010801 (DEPUY ACE Antegrade Retrograde Humeral Nail System, T2 Femoral Nail). |
| Biocompatibility | Manufactured from medical-grade materials (Ti6Al4V) with no adverse impact from manufacturing processes. | System is manufactured from Titanium alloy Ti6Al4V, a recognized medical-grade material. Biocompatibility deemed acceptable based on prior FDA submissions (K133166 for Ti6Al4V and K162507 for Stainless Steel AISI 304, though the subject devices are Ti6Al4V). |
| Intended Use | Similar intended uses as predicate devices (fixation of fractures, malunion, non-unions of Femur, Tibia, Humerus). | Identical intended uses: fixation of fractures of different types; open and closed shaft fractures; and malunion and non-unions of the Femur, Tibia, and Humerus (same as predicate devices). |
| Design | Design differences (geometry, angles, curvatures, lengths) do not increase risks or complications. | Design differences exist (slight changes in geometry, angles, curvatures, lengths) to fit specific bones, but these "do not affect the final result" and "do not increase risks and complications" as systems are designed to fit specific bones, similar to predicate devices. |
| Patient Outcome | No complications experienced with either system during the healing process clinically. | "With similar clinical, the patients had no complications with either system during the healing process, after the reduction and fixation of the fracture with the subject devices." |
| Regulatory Standards | Compliance with relevant ASTM and ISO standards for materials. | The Ins Hilden Nails Arzzt Systems met the requirements of ASTM F-136-13, ASTM F-983-86, and ISO 5832-3:1996. |
2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:
The document describes engineering analyses and material testing, not clinical studies with "test sets" in the context of diagnostic performance or AI.
- Sample Size for Test Set: Not applicable in the context of this 510(k) submission, as it focuses on non-clinical performance (mechanical and material testing) rather than a clinical "test set" of patient data for a diagnostic device. The "engineering analysis" would involve a specific number of devices or material samples tested per standard protocols, but this number is not specified in the summary.
- Data Provenance: Not explicitly stated for the engineering analysis, but typically these tests are conducted in a controlled lab environment. The document refers to "similar clinical" outcomes, implying anecdotal or general clinical experience rather than a formal clinical study used as a "test set."
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications:
Not applicable. This is not a study requiring expert readers to establish ground truth for a diagnostic test. The "ground truth" for mechanical properties is established by physical testing against engineering standards.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:
Not applicable. There is no diagnostic "test set" requiring adjudication.
5. If a Multi Reader Multi Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was done:
No. This is a submission for an orthopedic implant (intramedullary fixation rod), not a diagnostic device that would involve human readers or AI assistance in image interpretation.
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
No. There is no algorithm or AI component in these devices. The "standalone" performance refers to the device's mechanical and material properties as an implant.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used:
- Mechanical Performance: "Ground truth" is established by physical testing against established engineering standards (e.g., ASTM, ISO) for static bending and torsional yield, and comparison to the mechanical properties of predicate devices.
- Biocompatibility: "Ground truth" is based on the material specification (medical-grade Ti6Al4V) and prior FDA clearances/publications regarding the biocompatibility of this material and manufacturing processes (referenced K133166, K162507).
- Clinical Efficacy/Safety (implied): "Ground truth" for clinical outcomes is implied through clinical experience and historical data with predicate devices and similar materials, stating "patients had no complications with either system during the healing process." This is not a formal "ground truth" derivation as in a clinical trial.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set:
Not applicable. There is no AI or algorithm involved that would require a "training set."
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established:
Not applicable. No training set is used.

SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE CONCLUSION
SIMILARITIES
Stabilization of fractures, osteotomies and non-unions of long bones. Intended Uses:
Once the nail is inside the bone, the fixation of the fracture is the same, since the limb is Fixation: immobilized.
Types of fractures: Closed and open fractures type A, B and C from AO classification.
- O Target Population: Men and Women in adulthood.
- O Material: Same Titanium alloy Ti6Al4V
- Implant technique: All nails use the same principle of attaching to a O
{7}------------------------------------------------
modular assembly to insert the nail.
PERFORMANCE
All systems are intended for fixation of fractures, of long bones, closed and open fractures type A, B and C from AO classification, with delay or without consolidation and bones osteotomies and non-unions.
With similar clinical, the patients had no complications with either system during the healing process, after the reduction and fixation of the fracture with the subject devices, we can conclude substantial equivalence between the predicate K133166 Ins Hilden Tibial Arzzt and the subject devices.
According to the engineering analysis, the subject devices are stronger when applying the same force than the predicate devices K033878, K010801 which has the device name in the same order as shown, DEPUY ACE Antegrade Retrograde Humeral Nail System, DEPUY ACE VERSANAIL TIBIAL NAIL and T2 Femoral Nail. For this reason, when patients are recovering, the nail is strong enough to support them as the predicate devices do.
BIOCOMPATIBILITY
The system is made of TAV (Ti6Al4V), titanium alloy implant medical grade, which is considered as a biomaterial and is according to the ISO 5832- 03: Implants for surgery - Metallic materials - wrought titanium 6- aluminum 4-vanadium alloy.
There is no potential impact of the manufacturing processes when using titanium alloy Ti6Al4V on the biocompatibility of the final device according FDA submission K133166. It provides scientific information to demonstrate that the formulation change does not alter the chemical or physical properties of the medical device in its final finished form, and therefore, results from the Ins Hilden Tibial Arzzt PREDICATE DEVICE (K133166) can be applied to the medical devices in its final finished form.
There is no potential impact of the manufacturing processes when using titanium alloy Stainless Steel AISI 304 on the biocompatibility of the final device according FDA submission K162507. It provides scientific information to demonstrate that the formulation change does not alter the chemical or physical properties of the medical device in its final finished form, and therefore, results from the ARZZT 3.5/4.5 Small and Large Fragment System can be applied to the medical device in its final finished form, since both predicate and subject devices manufactured from the same material with the same manufacturing process with similar body contact and duration to each of the patient contacting instruments and the titanium screw.
{8}------------------------------------------------
DIFFERENCES
Design: Each design has slightly different geometry, with slight differences in angles, curvatures, and different lengths to fit the different long bones. These differences do not affect the final result, since each nail fits a specific bone, helping the stabilization and healing of the fracture.
REASONS WHY EACH DIFFERENCE DOES OR DOES NOT ADD NEW OR INCREASED RISKS AND COMPLICATIONS
Design
The design differences do not increase risks and complications. Since the systems designed to fit specific bones, so as the predicate devices are designed to fit a specific bone. The performance of all, is according.
POTENTIAL BENEFITS
Each system is designed to fit the specific type of bone.
FINAL CONCLUSION
Based on the technological properties of the subject devices as compared to the predicate devices, we understand that no new questions of safety and effectiveness have been raised, and that the subject devices are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
