The device description and intended use are purely mechanical and do not mention any computational or analytical capabilities. There are no mentions of AI, ML, image processing, or data sets.
No
Explanation: This device is a bioresorbable fixation pin used for ACL graft fixation. It provides structural support and does not directly treat a disease or condition in a therapeutic manner.
No
Explanation: The device is described as a cannulated pin intended for ACL graft fixation, which is a surgical tool, not a device used to identify a disease, condition, or injury.
No
The device description clearly states it is a physical pin composed of poly(L-lactide), which is a hardware component.
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. This information is used for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Description and Intended Use: The Arthrex Bio-Transfix is described as a cannulated pin used for ACL graft fixation in the femur during orthopaedic procedures. This is a surgical implant used directly within the body for structural support.
- Lack of Specimen Analysis: There is no mention of this device being used to analyze any biological specimens. Its function is purely mechanical and structural within the body.
Therefore, based on the provided information, the Arthrex Bio-Transfix is a surgical implant, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 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.

Description:
The Arthrex Bio-Transfix, composed of poly(L-lactide), is a cannulated pin having a diameter of approximately 5 mm and an overall length of 50 mm. One end is tapered 11.684 mm to a minor diameter of 1.422 mm. The other end has three barbs for cortical fixation and a spherical fitting for its driver.
Intended Use:
The Arthrex Bio-Transfix is intended to provide ACL graft fixation in the femur in orthopaedic procedures.
Substantial Equivalence:
By definition, substantial equivalence means that a device has the same intended use and the same technological characteristics as the predicate device, or has the same intended use and different technological characteristics, but it can be demonstrated that the device is as safe and effective as the predicate device and does not raise different questions regarding safety and effectiveness from the predicate device.
The differences between the Arthrex Bio-Transfix and the predicate device do not raise any different questions regarding safety and effectiveness. Furthermore, the material is well characterized, and has been used in predicate devices with similar indications. The device, as designed, is as safe and effective as the predicate devices.

Dear Mr. Brown:
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 legally marketed predicate 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 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.
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 requirements, 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.
