Indications for Use

The GFS Sterile Screws and Top Hat are intended to provide orthopedic surgeon a means of bone fixation and to assist in the management of fractures and reconstructive surgeries for cortical bone in the shoulder.

Device Story

Implantable metallic fixation screws and threaded bushing (Top Hat) for shoulder cortical bone; used for fixation of bone grafts or fragments. Operated by orthopedic surgeons in clinical settings. Top Hat attaches to proximal end of screw to ensure firm, safe positioning during surgery. Provided sterile for single use. Output is physical bone fixation; assists surgeon in stabilizing fractures or reconstructive sites. Benefits patient through secure bone fragment/graft stabilization.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Dimensional analysis and mechanical testing (axial pullout force and insertion torque) performed per ASTM F543 to compare subject device against predicate.

Technological Characteristics

Metallic bone fixation fasteners; includes screws (20-48 mm) and threaded bushing (Top Hat). Identical materials to predicate. Mechanical testing performed per ASTM F543. Sterile, single-use.

Indications for Use

Indicated for orthopedic surgeons for bone fixation and management of fractures and reconstructive surgeries of cortical bone in the shoulder.

Regulatory Classification

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.

You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database available at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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.

Your device is also subject to, among other requirements, the Quality Management System Regulation (QMSR) (21 CFR Part 820), which includes, but is not limited to, ISO 13485 clause 7.3 (Design controls), ISO 13485 clause 8.3 (Nonconforming product), ISO 13485 clause 8.5.2 (Corrective action), and ISO 13485 clause 8.5.3 (Preventative action). Please note that regardless of whether a change requires premarket review, the QMSR requires device manufacturers to review and approve changes to device design and production (ISO 13485 clause 7.3 and ISO 13485 clause 7.5) and document changes and approvals in the Medical Device File (ISO 13485 clause 4.2.3). 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 Part 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reporting-combination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the Quality Management System Regulation (QMSR) (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR Part 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR Parts 1000-1050. All medical devices, including Class I and unclassified devices and combination product device constituent parts are required to be in compliance with the final Unique Device Identification System rule ("UDI Rule"). The UDI Rule requires, among other things, that a device bear a unique device identifier (UDI) on its label and package (21 CFR 801.20(a)) unless an exception or alternative applies (21 CFR 801.20(b)) and that the dates on the device label be formatted in accordance with 21 CFR 801.18. The UDI Rule (21 CFR 830.300(a) and 830.320(b)) also requires that certain information be submitted to the Global Unique Device Identification Database (GUDID) (21 CFR Part 830 Subpart E).

The screws are offered in the following size ranges 20 mm -48 mm in length. There is also a threaded bushing, “Top Hat”, included. The top hat is attached to the proximal end of the fixation screw. The purpose is to position the screw firmly and safely during the procedure. The top hat or bushing is provided in one size. The proposed screws are provided sterile single use. | | Indications for Use: | The GFS Sterile Screws and Top Hat are intended to provide orthopedic surgeon a means of bone fixation and to assist in the management of fractures and reconstructive surgeries for cortical bone in the shoulder. | | Performance Data | Dimensional analysis was compared between the subject and predicate devices. Due to differences in thread geometry, axial pullout force and insertion torque testing was completed in comparison to the predicate per ASTM F543. The performed testing demonstrates the proposed GFS Sterile Screws are substantially equivalent to the predicate Latarjet Cortical Screw Set, K110763. | | Comparison of Technological Characteristics: | In comparison to the predicate device, K110763, Latarjet Cortical Screw Set devices, the subject GFS Sterile Screws and Top Hat are identical in materials, surgical technique, and methods of manufacturing as the predicate. The proposed device, GFS Sterile Screws includes a change in dimensions, sterilization modality, shelf life, and packaging configuration. | K253858 - Page 1 of 2 {5} ## Conclusion The subject GFS Sterile Screws and Top Hat are substantially equivalent to the predicate device which the design features and intended use are identical. Differences between the subject and predicate device do not result in new or different questions of safety or effectiveness. K253858 - Page 2 of 2
