Summary:

This submission describes the Auto-Drive™ bone screws intended for use in internal fixation of small bones including the cranifacial and maxillofacial skeleton and hand, secondary to trauma or for reconstruction. The Auto-Drive™ bone screws are available in 1.6 mm and 2.0 mm diameters with lengths ranging from 4 mm to 8 mm.

Equivalence for this device is based on similarities in intended use, material, design and operational principle to the KLS Martin Centre-Drive Drill-free™ Screw (K944565) and the Leibinger® Self-Drilling Screw (K970912). All of the screw systems are intended for use in internal fixation of small bones including the cranifacial and maxillofacial skeleton and hand, secondary to trauma or for reconstruction. All of the screws are self drilling and manufactured from Titanium alloy. The basic operational principle is the same for all three screws, e.g., they are self drilling and can be inserted in one step. Indications are also equivalent for each of the devices.

§ 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.
