Intended Use

The Wristore Fixator is intended to provide external fixation of the upper extremity. External fixation devices allow for three plane (axial, AP & medio/lateral) control over fractures and bone segments.

Device Description

The materials utilized for the construction of the external elements of the Wristore Fixator are medical grade polyetherimide resin. This material is the identical material utilized to construct the Articulating Distal Radius Fixator (K984498). The materials utilized in the instruments and pin guides are instrument grade stainless steel. The pins and K-wires used to fix the fractured bones are produced from implant grade stainless steel (316L). The Wristore Fixator utilizes legally marketed commercially available fixation pins and/or K-wires. Once the provided K-wires and pins have been properly placed, the poly-resin external frame is tightened and the fracture(s) stabilized. Typical orthopaedic instrumentation is provided to place, tighten and adjust the fixator.

AI/ML (Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning)

No
The summary describes a mechanical external fixator made of standard medical-grade materials and does not mention any software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.

Therapeutic

Yes
The device is intended to provide external fixation of the upper extremity, stabilizing fractures and bone segments, which falls under the definition of a therapeutic intervention.

Diagnostic

No
The device is an external fixator used to stabilize fractures, which is a treatment rather than a diagnostic function.

SaMD (Software as a Medical Device)

The device description explicitly details the use of physical components made of polyetherimide resin and stainless steel, which are hardware.

IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic)

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

Here's why:

Intended Use: The intended use is to "provide external fixation of the upper extremity" for stabilizing fractures. This is a therapeutic and structural function, not a diagnostic one.
Device Description: The description details the materials and components used for external fixation (frame, pins, wires, instruments). It does not mention any components or processes related to analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to diagnose a condition.
Lack of IVD Characteristics: The provided information does not include any elements typically associated with IVDs, such as:
- Analysis of biological samples.
- Detection or measurement of analytes.
- Diagnostic claims.
- Mention of laboratory procedures.

The Wristore Fixator is a medical device used for treatment (stabilizing fractures), not for diagnosis.

Regulation Number and Section

§ 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.
