Intended Use
The Contour Labral Nail™ is intended for use to maintain the proximity between soft tissue and bone to facilitate soft tissue reattachment in the repair of shoulder injuries. The Contour Labral Nail™ will be specifically indicated for use to provide internal fixation of soft tissue to bone for repair of anterior shoulder instability by reattachment of the glenoid labrum and/or inferior glenohumeral ligament in patients with primary or reoccurrent anterior dislocation or subluxation of the shoulder (i.e., Bankart lesions).
Device Description
The Contour Labral Nail™ is an absorbable device designed to maintain the proximity between soft tissue and bone to facilitate soft tissue reattachment in the repair of shoulder injuries. The Contour Labral Nail™ is composed of poly-L,Dlactide copolymer, its length is 20mm and diameter 3.5mm.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a physical, absorbable implant for soft tissue reattachment and contains no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data analysis.

No.
The device is an absorbable implant intended to facilitate soft tissue reattachment, which is a structural or supportive function, not a therapeutic one aiming to treat or cure a disease or condition through non-structural means.

No

The device is described as an absorbable implant designed to facilitate soft tissue reattachment, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one. It is used to fix tissue and bone, not to identify or assess a condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical, absorbable implant made of poly-L,Dlactide copolymer, with specific dimensions (20mm length, 3.5mm diameter). This indicates it is a hardware device, not software.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. They are used outside of the body.
  • Contour Labral Nail™ Function: The description clearly states the Contour Labral Nail™ is an absorbable device designed to be implanted inside the body to fix soft tissue to bone during shoulder repair surgery. It is a surgical implant, not a diagnostic tool that analyzes biological samples.

The information provided about the device's intended use, description, and predicate devices all point to it being a surgical implant for musculoskeletal repair, not an IVD.

§ 888.3030 Single/multiple component metallic bone fixation appliances and accessories.

(a)
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.(b)
Classification. Class II.

Dear Ms. Annala:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general control provisions of the Act. The general control provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic (QS) inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
