Rush Pins, marketed by Zimmer 1 {1}------------------------------------------------ K972612 # Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Marchetti-Vicenzi Intramedullary Nail, Humeral (Continued) ### Device Description The Marchetti-Vicenzi Humeral Intramedullary Nail is an intramedullary rod made up of several pins that provide elastic fixation of humeral fractures. The cylindrical, rod-like base of the nail is tapered and is preloaded with either four or five pins. A bolt system holds the tips of the pins together until the nail is properly inserted, at which time the bolt is removed back through the canal and the pins diverge and return to their preconditioned position. The cylindrical base that holds the pins contains a screw hole through which a screw can be inserted for distal locking. Distal locking is required for the humeral nail. ### Intended Use The Marchetti-Vicenzi Humeral Intramedullary Nail is a single-use device intended for use in the fixation of fractures of the humerus. Specific indications include all types of fractures and pseudoarthroses occurring between the surgical neck of the humerus and 3 cm proximal to the olecranon fossa. #### Performance Data The Marchetti-Vicenzi Humeral Nail exhibited statistically higher bending strength and rigidity in both the 4-pin and 5-pin configurations when compared to Rush Pins. {2}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/2/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
