The device description focuses on mechanical components and materials for fracture fixation, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.
Yes
The device is described as a "compression fixation system used for the treatment of femoral fractures" and is indicated for conditions like congenital coxa vara, hip dislocation, and Legg-Calve-Perthes disease for "fracture fixation" and to "provide immediate stability and temporary fixation during the natural healing process," which are therapeutic functions.
No
The device is described as a "compression fixation system" and is used for "fracture fixation" and "provides immediate stability and temporary fixation during the natural healing process". This indicates it is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description clearly states it consists of physical components like adjustable plates, lag screws, compression screws, and bone screws, which are hardware.
No, 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 VHS™ Pediatric Hip Screw System is a surgical implant used for fracture fixation in the femur. It is a physical device implanted into the body to provide structural support during healing.
- Intended Use: The intended use is to fix fractures and address deformities in the femur, which is a surgical intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.
The provided information clearly describes a surgical implant system, not a diagnostic test.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The VHS™ Pediatric Hip Screw System is used for fracture fixation in the proximal and distal regions of the femur. In particular, indications for use in pediatric patients are as follows :
- Congenital coxa vara.
- Congenital dislocation of the hip
- Subluxation or dislocation secondary to neurologic disorders, such as cerebral palsy, myelomenigocele, poliomyelitis, etc. Usually valgus-anteversion deformities.
- Coxa plana ( Legg-Calve-Perthes disease )

§ 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 Dr. Abendschein:
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 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 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.
