Indications for Use

Jet-X External Fixation System components are intended to be used on adults or pediatric patients as required and are intended to be used for post-traumatic joint contracture which has resulted in loss of range of motion; fractures and disease which generally may result in joint contractures or loss of range of motion and fractures requiring distraction; open and closed fracture fixation; pseudoarthrosis of long bones; correction of bony or soft tissue deformities; correction of segmental bony or soft tissue defects; joint arthrodesis; infected fractures or nonunions; mini external fixator systems are indicated for the management of comminuted intra-articular fractures of the distal radius.

Device Story

Jet-X Bar System Clamps and Posts are orthopedic external fixation accessories used for bone fracture management and reconstructive/corrective surgery. Devices are manufactured from stainless steel, aluminum, and titanium alloys. They function as mechanical components to provide rigidity and stability when used with pins, wires, and bars. This notification specifically covers the reprocessing of these components. The devices are used by surgeons in clinical settings to stabilize bone segments or joints. The output is a stable mechanical construct that facilitates bone healing or deformity correction. No software or algorithms are involved.

Clinical Evidence

No clinical data was required to support the safety and effectiveness of the subject devices. Evidence is based on bench testing, including construct fatigue testing to investigate the effects of reprocessing on bar clamps and bar-to-pin clamps, as well as validation of steam sterilization and cleaning processes.

Technological Characteristics

Constructed from stainless steel, aluminum, and titanium alloys. Mechanical design provides rigidity and stability for external fixation. Components include various clamps (Freedom, Mini Freedom, Quick, Mini Quick, Ankle) and posts. Sterilization is achieved via validated steam sterilization processes. No software, electronics, or energy sources are utilized.

Indications for Use

Indicated for adults and pediatric patients requiring external fixation for post-traumatic joint contracture, fractures, disease causing loss of range of motion, fractures requiring distraction, open/closed fracture fixation, pseudoarthrosis of long bones, correction of bony/soft tissue deformities or defects, joint arthrodesis, and infected fractures or nonunions. Mini external fixator systems are indicated for comminuted intra-articular distal radius fractures.

Regulatory Classification

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.

The subject reprocessed Jet-X clamps are specially designed components used in the management of bone fractures and reconstructive, as well as corrective, orthopedic surgery. The devices have been manufactured from stainless steel, aluminum and titanium alloys and have been designed to allow for the appropriate amount of rigidity and stability. Components of this premarket notification include: - Freedom Clamp, Bar to Pin Clamps . - Freedom Clamp, Bar to Bar Clamps . - Freedom Clamp, Bar to Ring Clamps ● - Mini Freedom Clamp, Bar to Pin Clamps . - Ouick Clamp, Bar to Pin Clamps . - Mini Quick Clamp, Bar to Pin Clamps . - Pin Clamps, 4 and 6 holes . - Freedom Post . - Freedom Ankle Clamp . - Mini Double Pin Clamp with Ball Joint . These devices are used with existing components such as pins, wires, bars and other external fixation devices cleared in previous premarket notifications. ## Technological Characteristics rechnological Charlotteners that the Jet-X Bar System is capable of withstanding A revew of the mechanical add thinks. Including after reprocessing. The following mechanical testing of the Jet-X clamps and posts was performed: - Construct fatigue testing investigate reprocessing of the bar clamp . - Construct fatigue testing to investigate reprocessing of the bar to pin clamps . - Fatigue testing to investigate reprocessing of the bar to pin clamps . - Validation of steam sterilization process of Jet-X Bar System devices . - validation of or otbarn evening process of Jet-X Bar System devices \$\rho.lf_2^{\frac{\pi}{\pi}}\$ {1}------------------------------------------------ A review of this testing has demonstrated that there are no new issues related to the safety and effectiveness of the subject devices. In addition, the principle of operation of these reprocessed devices very similar to that of the predicates. There are no changes in intended use, performance specifications or method of operation. The reprocessed devices utilize similar designs, the same materials and technological characteristics when compared to the predicate devices. Clinical data was not needed to support the safety and effectiveness of the subject devices. #### Intended Use Jet-X External Fixation System components are intended to be used on adults or pediatric patients as required and are intended to be used for post-traumatic joint contracture which has resulted in loss of range of motion; fractures and disease which generally may result in joint contractures or loss of range of motion and fractures requiring distraction; open and closed fracture fixation; pseudoarthrosis of long bones; correction of bony or soft tissue deformities; correction of segmental bony or soft tissue defects; joint arthrodesis; infected fractures or nonunions; mini external fixator systems are indicated for the management of comminuted intra-articular fractures of the distal radius. #### Substantial Equivalence Information The substantial equivalence of the Jet-X Bar System Clamps and Posts for Reprocessing is based on its similarities in indications for use, design features, operational principles, and material composition to the following cleared premarket notifications: | Manufacturer | Description | Submission Number | Clearance Date | |---------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------|-------------------|----------------| | Smith & Nephew, Inc | External Fixation Accessories | K031181 | 06/14/2003 | | Smith & Nephew, Inc | Jet-X Bar Clamps and Pin<br>Clamps - Non-magnetic/MR<br>Safe | K042312 | 09/24/2004 | | Smith & Nephew, Inc | Jet-X Bar System Clamps, Bars<br>and Posts - MR Conditional | K072212 | 03/07/2008 | #### Conclusion Conclusion.
