The system includes instrumentation allowing for proper preparation and placement of the soft tissue fixation device. The No-Profile Screw and Washer System includes titanium alloy (Ti-6A1-4V) screws and washers in various lengths/sizes. Both 4.5mm and 6.0mm diameter screws in lengths from 24mm to 70mm are available. The No-Profile Washers are available in 14mm, 16mm, and 18mm diameters with and without spikes. The spikes on the washers are not intended for additional fixation as used with the No-Profile screws. The WasherLoc™ Tibial Fixation System includes titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) screws and washers in various lengths and sizes. Both 4.5mm and 6.0mm diameter screws in lengths from 24mm to 60mm are available. The WasherLoc™ Washers are available in 14mm, 16mm, and 18mm diameters with spikes intended for additional fixation. ### Biomet Cannulated Screw System The Biomet Cannulated Screw System is designed for a variety of internal fixation, aiding in the alignment, stabilization, and healing of fractures or osteotomies to the skeletal system. The Biomet Cannulated Screw System has multiple variants included which fluctuate in screw diameters and lengths, and include the associated essential instruments that aid in fracture fixation. The Biomet Cannulated Screw System consists of screw variants, which are available in diameters of 3.0mm, 4.0mm, 5.0mm, 6.5mm, and 8.0mm. Each screw diameter is accompanied by instruments that are designed specifically for a given diameter. Washers are also part of the Biomet Cannulated Screw System and are sized 3.0mm, 4.0mm, 5.0mm, 6.5mm, and 8.0mm to specifically match each screw diameter. The washers are provided to add additional support under the head of the screw in situations where the bone quality is poor. Washers are also utilized for more surface area contact with the bone which needed in order to maintain proper fixation of the fracture or osteotomy. #### Biomet Headless Compression and Twist-Off Screws The Biomet Headless Compression and Twist-Off Screws are used for fixation of bone fractures, fusion of a joint, or bone reconstruction, osteotomies of the mid-foot bones, metatarsals {7}------------------------------------------------ and phalanges of the foot and metacarpals, phalanges and carpals of the hand. The Ti-6Al-4V alloy Biomet Headless Compression and Twist-Off Screws have multiple lengths and diameters associated with the different screws ranging from 2.0 to 3.0mm in diameter and lengths from 8 to 40mm. Both sets of screws will be available in sterile and non-sterile configurations. The screws include the associated essential instruments that aid in fracture fixation. The Biomet Headless Compression Screw is a cannulated headless screw which is inserted below the bone surface. This feature helps to minimize soft tissue irritation by sitting recessed and provides compression due to a dual thread design in the shaft and head. The Biomet Twist-Off Screw is a solid one-piece screw that has a drive shaft that has the ability to connect to a drill or large diameter pin driver. In addition, the screw incorporates a breakaway zone between the head and direct connection that allows the screw to break-off cleanly upon insertion. The Biomet Twist-Off Screw also has compression capabilities with a thread-free segment that achieves compression at the osteotomy site. # Intended Use and Indications for Use: ## WasherLoc™ and No-Profile Screw and Washer Systems Soft tissue fixation to bone, specifically during ligament reconstructive procedures. ## Biomet Cannulated Screw System Small Cannulated Screws (4.0mm and smaller diameter) are intended for use in: 1.

In the foot, these include procedures to correct Hallux Valgus (bunions), Hallux Varus and Hallux Rigidus, Hammer toe, Claw toe and Mallet toe. Summary of Technological Characteristics: The rationale for substantial equivalence is based on consideration of the following characteristics: - . Intended Use: The intended use of the subject devices is the same as the predicate devices. - Indications for Use: The indications for use of the ● subject devices is similar to the predicate devices. - . Materials: The materials used in the subject devices are the same as the predicate devices. - Design Features: The design features of the subject ● devices are similar to the predicate devices. - Sterilization: The sterilization method of the subject ● devices is the same as the predicate devices. Summary of Performance Data (Nonclinical and/or Clinical) #### ● Non-Clinical Tests: - Cytotoxicity and analytical testing to assess the o effects of the REVOX process on Titanium devices. Tests include: process residuals evaluation and analytical tests including ICP-MS to identify metallic residues and nonvolatile compounds. - Bioburden reduction process assessment for O impact to shelf life. - Sterilization validation to assess sterilization O dosage and SAL. - Bacterial Endotoxin Test (BET) Testing has O been performed to establish product nonpyrogenicity. {9}------------------------------------------------ #### ● Clinical Tests: - 0 None provided as a basis for substantial equivalence. ## Substantial Equivalence Conclusion The subject devices have been shown to be substantially equivalent to the predicate devices. The proposed subject devices have the same intended use and indications for use as the predicate devices. The proposed devices have similar technological characteristics to the predicates, and the differences do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness.
