No
The device description focuses on mechanical components and manual operation (pump handle). There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.
Yes
The device is described as a "Fixion Interlocking Proximal Femoral Nailing System" intended for fixation of fractures in the femur, osteotomy, nonunions, malunions, bone reconstruction, and revision procedures. These applications directly relate to treating a medical condition and restoring normal function, which falls under the definition of a therapeutic device.
No
The device description clearly states that the Fixion PF is a "single use system" used for "fixation of fractures" and "bone reconstruction." It is an implantable system designed to fix bones, not to diagnose conditions.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components like a nail implant and an inflation device, which are hardware.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
- Device Description: The Fixion Interlocking Proximal Femoral Nailing System is a surgical implant and associated tools used to fix bone fractures within the body. It is a physical device inserted into the femur.
- Intended Use: The intended use is for the fixation of fractures in the femur, which is a surgical procedure, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample outside the body.
The device is clearly an implantable medical device used for surgical intervention, not for in vitro diagnostic testing.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Fixion Interlocking Proximal Femoral Nailing System ("Fixion PF") is intended for use in fixation of fractures in the femur. The Fixion PF is indicated for use in fractures in the femur shaft, proximal femoral fractures, and combinations of these fractures. Proximal femoral fractures include stable and unstable pertrochanteric, intertrochanteric and subtrochanteric (with and without break-off of the minor trochanter), high subtrochanteric fractures and combinations of these fractures. The long Fixion PF may also be used in mid shaft fractures, 5cm below the surgical neck to 5cm proximal to the distal end of the medullar canal.
The Fixion PF is also indicated for use in osteotomy, nonunions and malunions, bone reconstruction following tumor resection, grafting and pathological fractures, revision procedures.

Device Description
The Fixion Interlocking Proximal Femoral Nailing System is a single use system that consists of the following components:
- The Nail implant is an expandable non-slotted stainless steel cylindrical tube, with a cap protected, female threaded proximal end with holes for Femoral Neck Peg and Hip Pin, to fix fractures in the proximal femur.
- The Inflation device is a single-use manual plastic pump that is filled with sterile inflation liquid an used to inflate the nail implant and Femoral Neck Peg.
Once the nail and the Femoral Neck Peg and hip pin are positioned within the medullary canal and femur neck, rotation of the "pump" handle allows for screw and nail diameter increase to their intended diameter under X-ray and controlled pressure.

-
- The 4 point bending mechanical testing was performed according to ASTM F1264 - Standard for Mechanical Performance Considerations for Intramedullary Fixation Devices.
-
- The Hip Peg testing was performed according to ASTM F384-99 Standard Specification for Metallic Angled Orthopedic Fracture Fixation Devices.
Intended Use

shaft and proximal fractures and combinations of these fractures. Proximal femoral fractures include stable and unstable pertrochanteric and subtrochanteric (with and without break-off of the minor trochanter), high subtrochanteric fractures and combinations of these fractures. Shaft fractures include those that are 5cm below the surgical neck to 5cm proximal to the distal end of the medullar canal.
The Fixion PF is also indicated for use in osteotomy, nonunions and malunions, bone reconstruction following tumor resection, grafting and pathological fractures, and revision procedures.
System Description
The Fixion Interlocking Proximal Femoral Nailing System is a single use system that consists of the following components:
-
The Nail implant is an expandable non-slotted stainless steel cylindrical tube, with a cap protected, female threaded proximal end with holes for Femoral Neck Peg and Hip Pin, to fix fractures in the proximal femur.
-
The Inflation device is a single-use manual plastic pump that is filled with sterile inflation liquid an used to inflate the nail implant and Femoral Neck Peg.
Once the nail and the Femoral Neck Peg and hip pin are positioned within the medullary canal and femur neck, rotation of the "pump" handle allows for screw and nail diameter increase to their intended diameter under X-ray and controlled pressure.
Substantial Equivalence
The Fixion Interlocking Proximal Femoral Nailing System Nail has substantially equivalent intended use and indications as the Fixion™ Interlocking Nail and the Synthes Proximal Femoral Nail, i.e., fixation of fractures of the femur.
The performance characteristics of the Fixion Proximl Femoral Nail have been tested and found to meet the specifications through a series of bench tests.
The Fixion Interlocking Proximal Femoral Nail, like the Fixion TM Interlocking Nail, is made of 316L Stainless Steel and has cannulated design. The cross section of the Fixion Interlocking Proximal Femoral and the Fixion Interlocking nails is circular with reinforcement bars.
Fixation of the Fixion Interlocking Proximal Femoral and Interlocking nails is achieved by inflation and results in the attachment of the 4 reinforcement bars to the medullary canal wall. The addition of Femoral Neck Peg and Hip Pin provides equivalent fixation to the end of the nail, in a manner that is substantially equivalent to that of the Synthes Proximal Femoral Nail. The inflation of the Fixion Interlocking Proximal Femoral nail with saline, which is a non-compressible biocompatible fluid, is identical to the cleared Fixion Interlocking nail and does not raise any new safety and efficacy issues.

Dear Mr. Kahan:
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.
