Intended Use
The EBI XFIX DFS Rail System is a unilateral external fixation device intended for use in the treatment of bone conditions including limb lengthening, corrective osteotomies, arthrodesis, fracture fixation, acute or gradual multiplanar correction and other bone conditions amenable to treatment by use of the external fixation modality.
Device Description
The system consists of fixation components and implantable bone screws. The EBI XFIX DFS Rail System is utilized in the following manner: bone screws are inserted through the patient's skin and soft tissue, and into the bone. The fixator frame of the EBI XFIX DFS Rail System is attached to the shanks of the bone screws. This submission is for the addition of a carbon fiber (radiolucent) Rail to the System.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a mechanical external fixation system with no mention of software, algorithms, or any technology related to AI/ML.

Yes

The device description and intended use clearly state that it is an external fixation device used for treating various bone conditions like limb lengthening, fracture fixation, and corrective osteotomies, which are therapeutic applications.

No
The device is described as an external fixation device for treating bone conditions, not for diagnosing them. It is used to fix bones, not to provide diagnostic information.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of "fixation components and implantable bone screws," which are hardware. The submission is for the addition of a carbon fiber rail, also a hardware component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a device used for the treatment of bone conditions through external fixation. This involves physically interacting with the patient's body to stabilize and manipulate bone.
  • Device Description: The description details components like fixation components, implantable bone screws, and a fixator frame that are attached to the patient's bone. This is a mechanical device used for surgical intervention.
  • 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 therapeutic purposes.

§ 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 Mr. Caparotta:

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.
