PREDICATE DEVICE DESCRIPTION The Universal Clamp System is a temporary orthopedic implant intended to provide stabilization during the development of solid bony fusion and aid in the repair of bone fractures. The device system is designed to be incorporated into constructs and used in conjunction with other medical implants. The indications for use include, but are not limited to, the following applications: Spinal trauma surgery, used in sublaminar, interspinous or facet wiring techniques; Spinal reconstructive surgery, incorporated into constructs for the purpose of spinal deformities such as scoliosis, kyphosis, spondylolisthesis, etc; spinal degenerative surgery, as an adjunct to spinal fusions. The Universal Clamp System may also be used with other medical implants made of stainless steel whenever "wiring" may help secure the attachment of other implants. #### 3. DEVICE DESCRIPTION The LigaPASS connector connects a rod to a vertebra. This connector can independently tighten the rod and the bone anchor. The LigaPASS connector is composed by a connector body, a rod set screw, a locking set screw for the band and a polyester band. #### 4. INTENDED USE The LigaPASS is a temporary implant for use in orthopedic surgery on skeletally mature patients. The system is intended to provide temporary stabilization as a bone anchor during the development of solid bony fusion and aid in the repair of bone fractures. The indications for use include the following applications: Spinal trauma surgery, used in sublaminar, interspinous, or facet wiring techniques; Spinal reconstructive surgery, incorporated into constructs for the purpose of correction of spinal deformities such as scoliosis, kyphosis, spondylolisthesis; Spinal degenerative surgery, as an adjunct to spinal fusions; Page 1 of 2 {1}------------------------------------------------ The LigaPASS may also be used in conjunction with other medical implants made of titanium or chrome cobalt alloy whenever "wiring" may help secure the attachment of other implants. ### SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE CLAIMED TO PREDICATE DEVICES The LigaPASS is similar to Universal Clamp System, as they have the same intended use, and substantially similar indications for use, technological characteristics and principles of operation. #### NON-CLINICAL TEST SUMMARY The following tests were conducted according to ASTM F1717 "Standard Test Methods for Spinal Implant Constructs in a Vertebrectomy Model" and ASTM F1798 "Standard Guide for Evaluating the Static and Fatique Properties of Interconnection Mechanisms and Subassemblies Used in Spinal Arthrodesis Implants": - Static testing in a load to failure mode in torsion 1. - Static testing in a load to failure mode in compression bending 2. - 3. Dynamic compression bending testing - 4. Static testing in a load to failure mode in tension - 5. Dynamic tension testing The results of these tests indicate that the LigaPASS is equivalent to predicate devices. #### CLINICAL TEST SUMMARY ・ No clinical studies were performed. #### CONCLUSIONS: NON-CLINICAL AND CLINICAL The LigaPASS is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices in terms of indications for use, design, material, and function.

You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you; however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading. If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set {3}------------------------------------------------ Page 2 – Mr. J.D. Webb forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
