The description focuses on mechanical design changes (increased diameter, shorter lag screws) to an existing intramedullary rod for fracture fixation. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.
Yes
The device is an intramedullary rod designed for the fixation of femoral fractures, which is a treatment for a medical condition.
No
The device is an intramedullary rod designed for the fixation of femoral fractures, which is a therapeutic rather than diagnostic function.
No
The device description clearly states it is an intramedullary rod and includes physical components like nails and screws, which are hardware.
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, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Description: The provided text describes an intramedullary rod (nail) and lag screws used for the fixation of femoral fractures. These are surgical implants used directly within the body to stabilize bones.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for the "fixation of femoral fractures." This is a surgical procedure, not an in vitro diagnostic test.
The device described is a surgical implant used for orthopedic procedures, not an IVD.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The product is intended to be used in fixation of femoral fractures occurring from the base of the femoral neck extending distally to a point approximately 10 cm proximal to the intercondylar notch. Fracture types include basilar neck, intertrochanteric fractures and femoral shaft fractures. These femoral fractures may occur as a result of trauma, non-union, malunion, pathological fractures, and impending pathological fractures.

Device Description
This Special 510(k) submission is intended to address a line extension to the predicate Long Length Gamma® Nail. The existing Long Length Gamma® Nail is an intramedullary rod intended to be used in the fixation of femoral fractures occurring from the base of the femoral neck extending distally to a point approximately 10 cm proximal to the intercondylar notch. The current design is cannulated, with a medial/lateral and anterior/posterior curve. The line extension involves increasing the distal diameter of the nail. In addition, two shorter length Gamma® Nail Lag Screws will be added to the system. Howmedica Osteonics intends to add the new designs of intramedullary rods to the current product line, thereby offering additional design options for the surgeon. The line extension to the Long Length Gamma® Nails are substantially equivalent to the existing design of Long Length Gamma® Nail which were determined substantially equivalent via the 510(k) process. The material used to manufacture the line extension to the Long Length Gamma® Nail is identical to that of the predicate. There is no change in intended use for the line extension to the Long Length Gamma® Nail when compared to the predicate device.

Dear Ms. Ariemma:
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) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). 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 such 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.
