Intended Use
Synthes RIA System is intended to clear the medullary canal of bone marrow and debris and to effectively size the medullary canal for the acceptance of an intramedullary implant or prosthesis.
Device Description
Synthes RIA System is a flexible reaming device that consists of a series of disposable tube assemblies, disposable reamer heads and reusable drive shafts. The device is designed for expedited reaming of the medullary canal in preparation for internal fixation. The free-rotating reamer head attaches to the distal end of the tube assembly. Ports in the manifold of the tube assembly allow simultaneous irrigation and aspiration through the tube assembly during the reaming process. Irrigating fluid is passed through the cannula of the drive shaft and reamer head and aspiration is drawn through ports of the retainer and aspiration tube. The RIA device is available in reaming diameters ranging from 10 to 19 mm and effective reaming lengths ranging from 200 to 580 mm.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on mechanical reaming and fluid management, with no mention of AI/ML terms or functionalities.

No
The device is used to prepare the medullary canal for an implant, which is a surgical tool rather than a therapeutic device.

No
Explanation: The device description states its purpose is to clear and size the medullary canal for an implant, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components such as disposable tube assemblies, reamer heads, and reusable drive shafts, indicating it is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Synthes RIA System Function: The description clearly states the device is used to "clear the medullary canal of bone marrow and debris and to effectively size the medullary canal for the acceptance of an intramedullary implant or prosthesis." This is a surgical procedure performed directly on the patient's bone, not a test performed on a sample outside the body.

The device is a surgical tool used for preparing the bone during a procedure, not for diagnostic testing of biological samples.

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and 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 (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
