Page 11
K250297, Page 7 of 15
Patient-specific configuration: equivalent
The subject device and the predicate device are manufactured specifically to match the patient's anatomy. The design process for both the subject and the predicate device starts from a patient's CT scan, taken according to a specific CT scan protocol.
System fixation: equivalent
The subject device and the predicate device are designed and manufactured with integrated screw holes to fixate the device to the bone using bone screws or plates.
Sterility: equivalent
The subject and predicate devices are all provided non-sterile and must be sterilized by moist heat prior to surgery.
Manufacturing method: equivalent
Both, subject and predicate, have the same manufacturing method by CNC machining.
Material: equivalent
The subject and the predicate devices plates are made from PEEK.
2.2. Differences from the predicate device
TECHFIT implants differ in that they are indicated for use in adults and adolescents aged 18 years or older, while the Synthes device is indicated for adult patients only.
The TECHFIT Patient-Specific Cranial System differs from the predicate device, the Synthes Patient Specific Cranial/Craniofacial Implant (PSCI), by including an anatomical model and a software component, the Digitally Integrated Surgical Reconstruction Platform (DISRP®). While the predicate device solely comprises, implantable components designed to replace bony voids in the cranial skeleton, the TECHFIT system incorporates an anatomical model to enhance preoperative planning. Additionally, the DISRP® software provides digital planning and a 3D viewer to optimize implant design, surgical procedures and facilitates the customization of both the implant and the anatomical model, and DISRP® System is a system that includes not only software but also orthognathic surgical guides, and these guides are not part of the Cranial System submission. These differences reflect advancements in patient-specific medical device technology, enhancing surgical workflow and precision while maintaining the fundamental purpose of cranial reconstruction.
TECHFIT implants differ from the predicate device because the predicate device includes titanium cranial implants.
Table 11 shows the details of the subject, predicate and reference devices.

3. Performance data
The following non-clinical testing was conducted as a basis for the determination of substantial equivalence:
Performance Data
Table 12. Overview of the Performance Data on the Subject Device
| Name | Test method | Conclusion |
|---|---|---|
| Accuracy Testing | Scanning of a cranial plate and then comparing them versus the existing files | The manufacturing process did not affect the dimensional accuracy of the patient-specific cranial implants by TECHFIT Digital Surgery. These results indicate that our PEEK implants are fabricated with high accuracy independently of their shape and dimensions. The devices showed elevated consistency regarding the original design being truthful to the patient's anatomy. |
| Compatibility testing | Verifying compatibility between TECHFIT Patient-Specific Cranial Implants manufactured from PEEK (referred to below as TECHFIT Cranial Implants) and the JEIL Le Forte Neuro Plating System 0.6 - K141452 (referred to below as JEIL System). | The JEIL Le Fórte Neuro Plating System 0.6 (K141452) is compatible with TECHFIT Patient-Specific Cranial Implants. Therefore, plates and screws from the Jeil Neuro Plating System 0.6 can be used for attaching TECHFIT Cranial Implants to the skull. |
| Adjustment test | Evaluate the proper adjustment of TECHFIT Patient-Specific Cranial Implants to the bone utilizing an anatomic model of the patient's cranial defect | TECHFIT Patient-Specific Cranial Implants allow a unique adjustment position to the patient's bone. |
| Software testing | Verifying the item parts for the software | The verification and validation components of the software have been thoroughly tested. |
| Mechanical testing | To evaluate the static tensile strength of TECHFIT Patient-Specific Cranial Implants | All specimens experienced elastic deformation within the narrow section |
| Mechanical testing | To test the static four point bending strength and verify the mechanical behavior of TECHFIT Patient-Specific Cranial Implants, manufactured from PEEK. | Testing was terminated after the construct failed to maintain load. Screws pulled from PEEK blocks more abruptly than other specimens |
Page 18
| Name | Test method | Conclusion |
|---|---|---|
| Mechanical testing | To test the static four point bending strength and verify the mechanical behavior of JEIL System plate fixated to Sawbones bone foam. | Testing was terminated after the construct failed to maintain load and the plate yielded. Rough graph curves after a certain displacement likely an artifact of the bone foam yielding as shear load is allied to the screws within the fragments. |
| Mechanical testing | To test the static four point bending strength of the provided PEEK blocks. | Failure mode for all static test specimens was plastic deformation due to positive bending moment. |

§ 882.5320 Preformed alterable cranioplasty plate.
(a)
Identification. A preformed alterable cranioplasty plate is a device that is implanted into a patient to repair a skull defect. It is constructed of a material, e.g., tantalum, that can be altered or reshaped at the time of surgery without changing the chemical behavior of the material.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).
