D. DEVICE DESCRIPTION
Newclip Patient-matched instrumentation non sterile PSI are patient specific instrument (PSI) guides intended to assist in pre-operative planning and/or in guiding the marking of bone and/or surgical instruments in non-acute, non-joint replacing osteotomies about the knee and distal tibia. The PSI Guides are surgical drilling and cutting instruments that are designed to match the patient's anatomy. The PSI guides are additively manufactured, are single-use devices, and provided clean, nonsterile to the end-user. The purpose of this 510(k) is to obtain FDA clearance for PSI Guides for distal tibial osteotomies and facilitate implantation of Newclip Activmotion S DTO Range devices that were 510(k) cleared by the US FDA.
Material: Polyamide (PA2200).
E. INDICATIONS FOR USE
The Newclip Patient-matched instrumentation non sterile PSI is indicated to be used as a surgical instrument to assist in pre-operative planning and/or in guiding surgical instruments in Distal Tibial Medial Opening or Closing Wedge Osteotomy, Distal Tibial Lateral Closing Osteotomy, when the anatomic landmarks necessary for pre-operative planning can be clearly identified on the patient's radiographic images (i.e., computed tomography (CT)). Each PSI is designed to be compatible with implants from the Newclip Activmotion S DTO Range.
F. TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE
The Newclip Patient-matched instrumentation non sterile PSI has the same or similar technological characteristics and indicated uses as the predicate device with the exception of the subject device being used for osteotomies of the distal tibia and the predicate device being used for osteotomies about the knee.
Target population: The Newclip Patient-matched instrumentation non sterile PSI are intended for the same subset of the target population (adults) of the predicate device.
Material: The Newclip Patient-matched instrumentation non sterile PSI uses the same additively manufactured (AM) Polyamide material as the predicate device.
Manufacturing method: The Newclip Patient-matched instrumentation non sterile PSI are manufactured using the same AM method as the predicate device.
Imagery technique: The Newclip Patient-matched instrumentation non sterile PSI uses the same image technique (CT) as the predicate device (K243912).
Surgeon training and documentation: The training of US surgeons on the subject PSI guides is performed with similar presentation materials and training-form cleared in K243912.
The subject and predicate devices are indicated as surgical instruments to assist in pre-operative planning and/or in guiding surgical instruments when the anatomic landmarks

Page 7
necessary for pre-operative planning are clearly identified on the patient's radiographic images (i.e. computed tomography (CT)). The primary predicate device are PSI guides for opening femoral and tibial, closing-femoral, and de-rotation wedge osteotomies, and closing-tibial lateral and anterior approach osteotomies about the knee whereas the subject device are PSI guides for opening and closing wedge distal tibial oteotomies. The subject device is designed to be compatible with implants from the Newclip Activmotion S DTO Range that were previously 510(k) cleared by the US FDA. Comparison of the technological characteristics and indicated use of the subject and predicate devices demonstrate that the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
G. PERFORMANCE DATA
Verification & validation (V&V) work for the subject device included: (1) analysis of the segmentation process and identification of worst case parameters, (2) a worst-case analysis for design and manufacturing of the PSI guides that included intra-operator variability, and (3) worst-case analyses of the usability, stability, and accuracy of fit and correction of the subject PSI guides in simulated sawbones and cadaver surgeries.
(1) The results of segmentation V&V work for the subject device indicated no new worst-case relative to the segmentation process for the predicate device.
(2) The V&V work for manufacturing PSI guides for distal tibial osteotomies was performed by three NewClip operators with differing levels of experience applied to worst-case guide design and manufacture followed by comparison of dimensions, design, correction, and placement. The results of the V&V work demonstrated similar precision and accuracy of design, correction, and manufacture for the subject and predicate PSI guides.
(3) Simulated surgeries of worst-case, subject PSI guides in sawbones and cadavers were performed in two separate studies by several surgeons with varying level of experience (novice, intermediate, expert) using similar laboratory techniques, performance measures, and criteria reported in K243912 and discussed with FDA in Q251405. The results of the cadaver studies showed the subject PSI guides to be positioned without issue for opening and closing wedge distal tibial osteotomies, that the planned corrections were achieved, that the guides were mechanically stable throughout use, and that the hinge was preserved.
The results of the V&V work demonstrated that the subject device are as safe and effective as the predicate device described in K243912.
H. CONCLUSION
The information in this 510(k) shows the Newclip Patient-matched instrumentation non sterile PSI for distal tibial osteotomies to be substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate device for osteotomies about the knee.

§ 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)
