SUBJECT DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The subject devices are metallic bone staples to be marketed under the name 'Staple All-in-One'' as part of the APTUS® Foot System. The subject device staples are provided in designs to address clinical needs depending on the size and surface of the bone to be fused, and include two sizes and two angulations (or offsets). Each subject device is provided as a set, comprising the staple and a set of attached instruments. The instruments consist of two drill guide, and a positioning instrument. The drills and drill guide are snapped off of the set prior to use of the staple. The positioning instrument is snapped off of the staple after implantation. The subject device staples and instruments are made of stainless steel conforming to ISO 5832-1 and ASTM F139.
PERFORMANCE DATA
Non-clinical testing data submitted, referenced, or relied upon to demonstrate substantial equivalence included: sterilization validation according to ISO 11137-1, and ISO 11137-3; bacterial endotoxin testing according to ANSI AAMI ST72; sterile barrier shelf life testing according to ISO 11607-1, ISO 11607-2, ASTM F1980, ASTM D4332, ASTM D4169, ASTM F2096, DIN EN 868-5, and ASTM F88/F88M; biocompatibility testing according to ISO 10993-12, ISO 10993-15, and ISO 10993-18: and comparative mechanical testing according to ASTM F564. Clinical data were not provided in this submission.
EQUIVALENCE TO MARKETED DEVICE
The subject device is substantially equivalent in indications and design principles to the primary predicate device and the reference device listed above. Provided at the end of this summary is a table comparing the Indications for Use Statements and the technological characteristics of the subject device, the primary predicate device, and the reference device.
The primary predicate device K991566 is for support of substantial equivalence based on a similar Indications for Use Statement (IFUS), similar device design and materials, and performance in side-byside mechanical testing. The reference device K142581 is for the IFUS, which is identical to the subject device; the subject device is an extension to the system cleared in K142581 and K091479.
The subject device, the primary predicate device, and the reference predicate device have the same intended use for internal fixation of the foot. The Indications for Use Statement (IFUS) is identical for the subject device and the reference device K142581. The IFUS for the primary predicate device K991566 is similar to the IFUS for the subject device. The primary predicate device K991566 includes only indications for Akin type osteotomies; this difference does not impact substantial equivalence because both the subject devices cleared in K991566 are intended for fixation of this type of osteotomy.
The subject device and the primary predicate device have technological characteristics and are fabricated from similar stainless steel materials. The subject device and the primary predicate device have similar design characteristics, including leg length, interaxis distance, offset, and thickness/diameter.
The stainless steel material of the subject device in its final finished form is similar to the stainless steel used in Medartis K-wires cleared in K092038 in formulation and processing.
5
The subject device is provided as a sterile, single-use set, comprising the staple and a set of attached instruments (two drills, drill guide, and positioning instrument). The primary predicate device staples are provided sterile or non-sterile, and a set of corresponding reusable instruments are provided separately. The sterilization method for the primary predicate device is not stated in the 510(k) Summary for K991566. These differences do not impact the safety or effectiveness of the subject device as compared to the primary predicate device because all implants and instruments will be sterile when used clinically.
Mechanical testing according to ASTM F564 demonstrated the subject device to be substantially equivalent to the primary predicate device.
CONCLUSION
The subject device, the primary predicate device, and the reference device have the same intended use, have similar technological characteristics, and encompass a similar range of physical dimensions appropriate to the anatomy. The subject device and the primary predicate device are made of the same material, and are sterilized using similar methods. The data included in this submission demonstrate substantial equivalence to the primary predicate device K991566 and the reference device K142581.
