Intended Use
The Talon™ DistalFix™ Humeral Nail System is indicated to aid in the alignment and stabilization of humeral fractures, including: • Diaphyseal fractures of the humeral shaft • Proximal humeral fractures with diaphyseal extension • Impending pathologic fractures
Device Story
Intramedullary fixation system for humeral fractures; consists of titanium alloy nail with proximal portals for cortical locking screws and distal portals for deployable integral talons. Talons provide distal fixation from within intramedullary canal; retractable for nail removal. Proximal end cap prevents bony ingrowth and facilitates explantation. Used in surgical setting by orthopedic surgeons to stabilize fractures. Provides mechanical alignment and stabilization; benefits patient by facilitating bone healing and restoring structural integrity of humerus.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Mechanical test data and engineering analysis demonstrate substantial equivalence. Pyrogen testing performed per ANSI/AAMI ST72; implants meet endotoxin limit of 20.0 USP Endotoxin Units per device via LAL test.
Technological Characteristics
Implant grade titanium alloy. Intramedullary nail with deployable distal talons and proximal cortical locking screws. Sterilization method not specified. No software or electronic components.
Indications for Use
Indicated for patients with diaphyseal humeral shaft fractures, proximal humeral fractures with diaphyseal extension, or impending pathologic fractures requiring alignment and stabilization.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An intramedullary fixation rod is a device intended to be implanted that consists of a rod made of alloys such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum and stainless steel. It is inserted into the medullary (bone marrow) canal of long bones for the fixation of fractures.

Dear Ms. Wilson:
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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to 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); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

Talon™ DistalFix™ Humeral Nail Proprietary Name: Common Used Name: Humeral Nail Rod, Fixation, Intramedullary and Classification Name: Accessories Classification Reference: 21 CFR § 888.3020 87 - Orthopedic Devices Classification Panel: Device Product Code: нгв Proposed Regulatory Class: Class II
### Device Description:
The Talon™ DistalFix™ Humeral Nail System is used to aid in the alignment and stabilization of humeral fractures. The system consists of the following parts:
- A humeral nail with proximal portals for passage of cortical locking screws ● and distal portals that allow passage of deployable integral talons to achieve distal fixation from within the intramedullary canal. The distal talons may be retracted for removal of the intramedullary nail if and when it is necessary. The nail will be provided in a pre-assembled condition with the deployable distal nail talons and distal end cap already installed.
- Cortical locking screws will be provided separately. The cortical locking . screws have a reduced minor diameter at the tip which provides increased

purchase in cancellous bone by increasing the thread height and are provided for proximal fixation if desired.
- A proximal end cap will be provided separately. The end cap prevents ● bony ingrowth and preserves the threads which may be used for attachment of instrumentation during explantation of the nail.
ODi-NA will manufacture the implants from implant grade titanium alloy.
#### Indications for Use:
The Talon™ DistalFix™ Humeral Nail System is indicated to aid in the alignment and stabilization of humeral fractures, including: diaphyseal fractures of the humeral shaft; proximal humeral fractures with diaphyseal extension; and impending pathologic fractures.
#### Substantial Equivalence Information:
Orthopedic Designs North America, Inc. believes the Talon™ DistalFix™ Humeral Nail is substantially equivalent to the products described herein with respect to indications for use, device design, materials, method of manufacture and method of sterilization. Within the proposed class, the following device is used as a predicate device for comparison: Synthes® Titanium Cannulated Humeral Nail Expert System (K033071).
### Performance Data:
Review of the mechanical test data and supporting engineering analysis demonstrates the Talon™ DistalFix™ Humeral Nail System is substantially equivalent to the previously cleared Synthes® Titanium Cannulated Humeral Nail Expert System (K033071). Pyrogen testing was performed in accordance with ANSI/AAMI ST72 and confirmed the implants meet the specified endotoxin limit of 20.0 USP Endotoxin Units per device using the Limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL) test.
