The ZipToe™ Hammertoe Fusion System is indicated for interphalangeal fusion of the toes.
The ZipToe™ Hammertoe Fusion System is a permanent implant designed for fixation of the proximal interphalangeal joint. The device is composed of a titanium alloy sleeve (ASTM F136) with two internally deployed nitinol claws (ASTM F2063). The implant is available in multiple sizes to accommodate varying patient anatomy. The insertion tool for the implant includes two "ripcords" that are pulled to deploy the implant's claws. The "ricord" is a surgical suture that is connected to the implant's claws through a loop; thus, once the implant in place, the ends of the suture ("ripcords") are pulled to deploy the claws. Once deployed, the claws assist in initial fixation by providing opposing compression into the bone and help minimize implant rotation.

Dear Danielle Besal:
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 (the 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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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.

Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99812/download) and "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Software Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99785/download).
Your device is also subject to, among other requirements, the Quality System (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820), which includes, but is not limited to, 21 CFR 820.30, Design controls; 21 CFR 820.90, Nonconforming product; and 21 CFR 820.100, Corrective and preventive action. Please note that regardless of whether a change requires premarket review, the QS regulation requires device manufacturers to review and approve changes to device design and production (21 CFR 820.30 and 21 CFR 820.70) and document changes and approvals in the device master record (21 CFR 820.181).
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 (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR Part 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reporting-combination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR Parts 1000-1050.
All medical devices, including Class I and unclassified devices and combination product device constituent parts are required to be in compliance with the final Unique Device Identification System rule ("UDI Rule"). The UDI Rule requires, among other things, that a device bear a unique device identifier (UDI) on its label and package (21 CFR 801.20(a)) unless an exception or alternative applies (21 CFR 801.20(b)) and that the dates on the device label be formatted in accordance with 21 CFR 801.18. The UDI Rule (21 CFR 830.300(a) and 830.320(b)) also requires that certain information be submitted to the Global Unique Device Identification Database (GUDID) (21 CFR Part 830 Subpart E). For additional information on these requirements, please see the UDI System webpage at https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/device-advice-comprehensive-regulatory-assistance/unique-device-identification-system-udi-system.
Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/medical-device-safety/medical-device-reporting-mdr-how-report-medical-device-problems.

Device Description Summary
21 CFR 807.92(a)(4)
The ZipToe™ Hammertoe Fusion System is a permanent implant designed for fixation of the proximal interphalangeal joint. The device is composed of a titanium alloy sleeve (ASTM F136) with two internally deployed nitinol claws (ASTM F2063). The implant is available in multiple sizes to accommodate varying patient anatomy. The insertion tool for the implant includes two "ripcords" that are pulled to deploy the implant's claws. The "ripcord" is a surgical suture that is connected to the implant's claws through a loop; thus, once the implant is in place, the ends of the suture ("ripcords") are pulled to deploy the claws. Once deployed, the claws assist in initial fixation by providing opposing compression into the bone and help minimize implant rotation.

Intended Use/Indications for Use
21 CFR 807.92(a)(5)
The ZipToe™ Hammertoe Fusion System is indicated for interphalangeal fusion of the toes.
Indications for Use Comparison
21 CFR 807.92(a)(5)
The subject devices are substantially equivalent to the Stryker Smart Toe II (K201715). The subject devices are identical in indications for use.
Technological Comparison
21 CFR 807.92(a)(6)
The subject device is similar in technological characteristics to the predicate device. The subject and predicate devices are similar in geometry in that both are an intramedullary design as well as similar in sizing and materials to the predicate device. The minor differences in technological characteristics do not introduce any different questions of safety or effectiveness.
Non-Clinical and/or Clinical Tests Summary & Conclusions
21 CFR 807.92(b)
Mechanical testing of the subject device including static 4-point bending, static pushout, static torsion, dynamic 4-point bending, fretting corrosion, pitting corrosion testing per ASTM F2129, and biocompatibility evaluation per ISO 10993-1 have been performed to evaluate the ZipToe™ Hammertoe Fusion System.
Clinical data are not applicable.
The results confirm that the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
