Intended Use
The EBI® XFIX® DFS® System is a unilateral external fixation device intended for use in the treatment of bone conditions including leg lengthening, osteotomies, arthrodesis, fracture fixation, and other bone conditions amenable to treatment by use of the external fixation modality.
Device Description
The EBI® XFIX® DFS® System has not changed the Indications for Use or fundamental scientific technology of the previously cleared system. The system consists of external fixation components and implantable bone screws. The EBI® XFIX® DFS® 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® System is attached to the shanks of the bone screws. This submission is for the modifications to the Ankle Clamp of the EBI® XFIX® DFS® System. The components of the System may be manufactured from materials such as titanium, stainless steel, and aluminum.
More Information

No
The document describes a mechanical external fixation system and explicitly states that the fundamental scientific technology has not changed from the previously cleared system. There are no mentions of AI, ML, image processing, or data sets typically associated with AI/ML devices.

Yes
The device is described as an "external fixation device intended for use in the treatment of bone conditions including leg lengthening, osteotomies, arthrodesis, fracture fixation, and other bone conditions." This directly implies a therapeutic purpose.

No
The device is described as an external fixation device used for treating bone conditions, not for diagnosing them. Its function is to fix bones, not to identify or assess a condition.

No

The device description explicitly states that the system consists of external fixation components and implantable bone screws, which are hardware. The submission is for modifications to a hardware component (Ankle Clamp).

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, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Description: The provided description clearly states that the EBI® XFIX® DFS® System is an external fixation device used for treating bone conditions by being attached to bone screws inserted into the patient's body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for surgical procedures related to bone conditions, not for analyzing biological samples.

The device is a surgical implant/external fixation system, not a diagnostic test performed on samples outside the body.

§ 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.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
