devices and associated accessories made from aluminum and stainless-steel materials. These components should be combined to build a frame which is appropriate for each specific application. All half pins and frame components are single use devices and are provided nonsterile.
The worm gear component in the Drive Rail System is made of 17-4 stainless steel, which is ferromagnetic. Since the worm gear component is magnetic and is within each external rail construct, the Drive Rail System is MR unsafe.
V. Indications for Use
The Drive Rail System is intended to be used on adult or pediatric patients in the treatment of conditions of the long bones of the arms and legs including limb lengthening, acute or gradual multiplanar correction of long bone deformities, fractures and diseases which generally may result in joint contractures or loss of range of motion, fractures requiring distraction, open or closed fractures, non-unions, and infected fractures or non-unions.
VI. Comparison of Technological Characteristics
The OrthoPediatrics Drive Rail System and predicate devices share identical indications for use, device classification, product code. They are used in the same anatomical sites and have the same principle of operation, materials, sterilization, packaging, design and fundamental technological characteristics. The difference between the predicate device and the subject device is that the predicate device labeling states that "The Drive Rail System has not been evaluated for safety and compatibility in the MR environment. It has not been tested for heating, migration, or image artifact in the MR environment.", and the proposed labeling for the subject device is that "The Drive Rail System is MR Unsafe." as the component in the Drive Rail System contains ferromagnetic material.
VII. Performance Data
The purpose of this submission is to obtain clearance to label the Drive Rail System as "The Drive Rail System is MR Unsafe". When the Drive Rail System was cleared under K140822, the system has the labeling "The Drive Rail System has not been evaluated for safety and compatibility in the MR environment. It has not been tested for heating, migration, or image artifact in the MR environment."
According to page 23 and 24 of FDA's guidance "Testing and Labeling Medical Devices for Safety in the Magnetic Resonance (MR) Environment - Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff' issued on May 20, 2021. If the medical device contains ferromagnetic material(s), manufacturers cannot use the labeling of "Safety in MR environment not evaluated".

Image /page/5/Picture/2 description: The image shows the logo for OrthoPediatrics. The logo features a cartoon drawing of a child's face with a smiling expression. The word "Ortho" is written in blue and is integrated into the cartoon drawing. The word "Pediatrics" is written in red and is located to the right of the word "Ortho".
According to page 10 of 36 of the FDA guidance "The Special 510(k) Program, Guidance for Industry and Food and Drug Administration Staff" issued on September 13, 2019, when addressing the question of Are performance data needed to evaluate the change? It states that "Verification and validation testing, however, may not be necessary to support SE. For example, FDA may receive a 510(k) from a manufacturer requesting clearance to label their device as Magnetic Resonance (MR) Unsafe after previously labeling their device as 'Safety in MR Imaging Not Evaluated.' As discussed in the FDA guidance document Establishing Safety and Compatibility of Passive Implants in the Magnetic Resonance (MR) Environment, MR Unsafe labeling is based on a scientific rationale and does not involve any performance data."
Therefore, OrthoPediatrics Corp reviewed drawings and conducted test to determine of component in the system contains ferromagnetic materials and is magnetic.
VIII. Conclusion
The information provided above supports that the Drive Rail System is as safe and effective as the predicate device. Information provided within the submission support the differences between the subject and predicate devices and support the labeling change. Therefore, it is concluded that the Drive Rail System is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
