The BIOTRAK™ Pin is intended for use in fixation and/or alignment of fragments and fractures of non-load bearing bones, osteotomies, arthrodeses, cancellous fragments, and osteochondral fragments in the upper and lower extremities.
The ARC Surgical BIOTRAK TM Pin System is composed of pins injection molded from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) with diameter 1.5mm to 2.0mm and length 20mm to 40mm. External features on the pin provide increased resistance to loosening of bone fragments. The screws are provided sterile.
This document is a 510(k) summary for the ARC Surgical BIOTRAK™ Pin System. It describes a medical device, specifically a bioabsorbable bone fixation pin, and asserts its substantial equivalence to previously marketed devices. The provided text does not contain information about acceptance criteria or a study proving the device meets acceptance criteria in the manner requested (i.e., performance metrics, sample sizes, ground truth establishment, or comparative effectiveness studies).
Instead, the document states:
"A discussion of clinical and non-clinical tests is not applicable."
And further:
"Based upon the similarities of the ARC Surgical BIOTRAK™ Pin System and the predicate devices studied, the safety and effectiveness of the BIOTRAK.™ Pin is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices referenced."
This indicates that the device's approval was based on demonstrating substantial equivalence to existing predicate devices, rather than on new performance studies with specific acceptance criteria. This is a common pathway for 510(k) clearances, where new clinical or non-clinical performance data is not always required if the device is sufficiently similar to legally marketed devices.
Therefore, I cannot provide the requested information. The document explicitly states that a discussion of clinical and non-clinical tests is not applicable for this submission.

Device Description: The ARC Surgical BIOTRAK TM Pin System is composed of pins injection molded from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) with diameter 1.5mm to 2.0mm and length 20mm to 40mm. External features on the pin provide increased resistance to loosening of bone fragments. The screws are provided sterile.
Intended Use: The BIOTRAK™ Pin is intended for use in fixation and/or alignment of fragments and fractures of non-load bearing bones, osteotomies, arthrodeses, cancellous fragments, and osteochondral fragments in the upper and lower extremities.
These are similar to the intended use of predicate devices and do not raise new issues of safety and effectiveness.
Technological Characteristics: The pins are being injection molded from PLLA pellets (Boehringer-Ingelheim Resomer 210S). The PLLA pellets are polymerized from L-lactide monomers through the process of ring-opening polymerization. Stannous (tin) octoate is utilized as the catalyst. The predicates devices listed use either PLLA, PLA/PGA mix.
A discussion of clinical and non-clinical tests is not applicable.

Dear Mr. Boehmer:
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. Ilsting of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to such 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.

§ 888.3040 Smooth or threaded metallic bone fixation fastener.
(a)
Identification. A smooth or threaded metallic bone fixation fastener is a device intended to be implanted that consists of a stiff wire segment or rod made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum and stainless steel, and that may be smooth on the outside, fully or partially threaded, straight or U-shaped; and may be either blunt pointed, sharp pointed, or have a formed, slotted head on the end. It may be used for fixation of bone fractures, for bone reconstructions, as a guide pin for insertion of other implants, or it may be implanted through the skin so that a pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system.(b)
Classification. Class II.
