Intended Use
1.5mm Bone Fixation Kit is intended for use in the fixation of fragments of fractured non-load bearing bones, osteotomies and arthrodeses, for example in the fixation of apical fragments, osteochondral fragments and cancellous/non-load bearing fragments. 1.5mm Bone Fixation Kit is not intended for use in and is contraindicated for: 1) Fractures and osteotomies of cortical bone (except cortical bones of the foot and the hand), 2) Fractures and osteotomies in weight bearing cancellous bone, 3) Situations where internal fixation is otherwise contraindicated, e.g., active or potential infection and where patient co-operation cannot be guaranteed (e.g. alcoholism), 4) Treatment of physeal fractures in children, because the effect of the implant upon the healing of growth plate has not been tested clinically.
Device Description
The implants are composed of poly-L/D-lactide copolymer. This is the very same raw material with SmartNail (K993074) and 1.5mm Bone Fixation Kit (K012000) Lengths of implants are 14, 16, 18, 20 and 25 mm. - Diameter of implants is 1.5mm. This is identical with SmartNail (K993074) and -1.5mm Bone Fixation Kit (K012000) Shelf life is same with SmartNail™ and 1.5mm Bone Fixation Kit (K012000). - Implants and single use, sterile, disposable instruments are packed into blister, which is sealed with the Tyvek® lid. Blister with Tyvek® lid is packed into aluminium foil pouch and sealed. The modifications are: Amendment of new length, 14mm implant, into product line. - Modified design accordingly. -
More Information

No
The description focuses on the material, dimensions, and packaging of a bone fixation kit, with no mention of software, algorithms, or any AI/ML capabilities.

Yes
The device is a bone fixation kit, which is used to fix fragments of fractured bones, osteotomies, and arthrodeses, directly addressing a health condition.

No

Explanation: The device is described as a "1.5mm Bone Fixation Kit" intended for fixing fractured bones and osteotomies, which indicates it is a therapeutic device used for treatment, not for diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly states the implants are composed of poly-L/D-lactide copolymer and describes physical dimensions (lengths and diameter) and packaging, indicating it is a physical medical device, not software.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes the device as being used for the fixation of bone fragments, osteotomies, and arthrodeses. This is a surgical procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device description details implants made of poly-L/D-lactide copolymer, along with instruments for their use. These are physical devices intended for implantation or surgical manipulation.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVD devices are used in vitro (outside the body) to analyze biological samples. This device is used in vivo (inside the body) for structural support and fixation.

§ 888.3040 Smooth or threaded metallic bone fixation fastener.

(a)
Identification. A smooth or threaded metallic bone fixation fastener is a device intended to be implanted that consists of a stiff wire segment or rod made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum and stainless steel, and that may be smooth on the outside, fully or partially threaded, straight or U-shaped; and may be either blunt pointed, sharp pointed, or have a formed, slotted head on the end. It may be used for fixation of bone fractures, for bone reconstructions, as a guide pin for insertion of other implants, or it may be implanted through the skin so that a pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system.(b)
Classification. Class II.

1.5mm Bone Fixation Kit is not intended for use in and is contraindicated for: 1) Fractures and osteotomies of cortical bone (except cortical bones of the foot and the hand), 2) Fractures and osteotomies in weight bearing cancellous bone, 3) Situations where internal fixation is otherwise contraindicated, e.g., active or potential infection and where patient co-operation cannot be guaranteed (e.g. alcoholism), 4) Treatment of physeal fractures in children, because the effect of the implant upon the healing of growth plate has not been tested clinically.

Device Description:

The device description of the 1.5mm Bone Fixation Kit is as follows.

  • The implants are composed of poly-L/D-lactide copolymer. This is the very same raw material with SmartNail (K993074) and 1.5mm Bone Fixation Kit (K012000)
  • Lengths of implants are 14, 16, 18, 20 and 25 mm. -
  • Diameter of implants is 1.5mm. This is identical with SmartNail (K993074) and -1.5mm Bone Fixation Kit (K012000)
  • Shelf life is same with SmartNail™ and 1.5mm Bone Fixation Kit (K012000). -
