Primary Predicate: SixFix™ Hexapod Fixator and Deformity Analysis and Correction Software (DACS) (K190069)
Additional Predicate: Orthohub External Fixator Software (K140550)
Substantial Equivalence:
The subject device and the primary predicate device have similar intended uses. Both the ENOS Software Guided External Fixation System and the Sixfix Hexapod primary predicate are intended to be used for traumatic (subject device) and post-traumatic injuries (primary predicate device). The subject device and the secondary predicate device are both intended for the treatment of traumatic or reconstructive deformities. The subject device and secondary predicate device have identical intended uses, except for the secondary predicate specifying reconstructive tibia deformities while the subject device is intended for reconstructive deformities within the Monkey Rings External Fixation System (K212895). The subject device, primary predicate device and the secondary predicate device generate a prescription of strut adjustments.
The subject device and primary predicate have manual input methods to assist the surgeon calculating the lengths of the struts connecting the rings to manipulate the bone fragments. Also, for the subject and primary predicate, the software receives inputs from the physician and allows the physician to visualize the moving bone position. The subject and primary predicate program computes the strut lengths necessary to implement adjustments required by the surgeon. The output of the subject device is a prescription of strut adjustments, which is identical to the primary and secondary predicates.
A difference between the subject device and secondary predicate is the use of a web-based software run in the cloud for the subject device and the use of a macintosh computer for the secondary predicate. Additionally, the secondary predicate utilizes x-rays in addition to manual surgeon input for calculations of recommended adjustments while the subject device is manual input only.
The differences between the subject device and predicates do not introduce new issues of safety and effectiveness.
Performance Testing:
All necessary testing has been performed on the ENOS Software Guided External Fixation System to assure substantial equivalence to its predicate and demonstrate the subject device performs as intended.
Software Verification and Validation
Software verification and validation were carried out based on the "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices", at the unit, integration, and system levels to determine substantial equivalence to the predicate device.
Non-Clinical Bench Testing
Beyond Formal Verification Testing, incremental testing of software inputs against expected frame data was also performed. Given the number of anatomical sides, sites, ring combinations, and ring sizes possible, a mathematically randomized set of inputs over defined limits was selected to be used to validate that the software was developed to satisfy its intended purpose.

Conclusions:
Clinical data are not needed to support the safety and effectiveness of the subject device.
The subject device possesses similar intended uses, technological characteristics, and principles of operation as the primary predicate and secondary predicate devices. The subject device does not raise new issues of safety or effectiveness. The subject device is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate devices.

§ 888.3030 Single/multiple component metallic bone fixation appliances and accessories.
(a)
Identification. Single/multiple component metallic bone fixation appliances and accessories are devices intended to be implanted consisting of one or more metallic components and their metallic fasteners. The devices contain a plate, a nail/plate combination, or a blade/plate combination that are made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, stainless steel, and titanium, that are intended to be held in position with fasteners, such as screws and nails, or bolts, nuts, and washers. These devices are used for fixation of fractures of the proximal or distal end of long bones, such as intracapsular, intertrochanteric, intercervical, supracondylar, or condylar fractures of the femur; for fusion of a joint; or for surgical procedures that involve cutting a bone. The devices may be implanted or attached through the skin so that a pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system.(b)
Classification. Class II.
