Intended Use
The Synthes Midface Distractor is intended for use in adult and pediatric populations for the treatment of cranial or midface conditions for which reconstructive osteotomy and segment advancement are indicated. This includes conditions such as syndromic craniosynostosis and midfacial retrusion. The device is intended to provide temporary stabilization and gradual lengthening of the cranial or midfacial bones.
Device Description
The Synthes Midface Distractor is a craniofacial distraction device consisting of two telescoping components with attached footplates. The device is intended to be placed subcutaneously, with an anterior footplate fastened to the lateral orbital rim, extending down to the maxilla and spanning the zygomaticomaxillary suture; and a posterior footplate fastened to the temporal region of the cranium. The plates are fixed to the bone through unthreaded screw holes using 1.5 mm or 2.0 mm Cortex screws.

No
The description focuses on the mechanical components and intended use for bone distraction, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.

Yes
The device is intended for the "treatment of cranial or midface conditions" and is designed to provide "temporary stabilization and gradual lengthening of the cranial or midfacial bones," which are therapeutic actions.

No
The provided text describes a medical device, the Synthes Midface Distractor, which is an implantable device used for reconstructive osteotomy and segment advancement. Its function is to provide temporary stabilization and gradual lengthening of bones, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic purpose. The text does not mention any diagnostic capabilities such as identifying, measuring, or monitoring a disease or condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "craniofacial distraction device consisting of two telescoping components with attached footplates" and is intended to be "placed subcutaneously" and "fixed to the bone through unthreaded screw holes using 1.5 mm or 2.0 mm Cortex screws." This describes a physical, implantable hardware device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The Synthes Midface Distractor is a surgical implant designed to be placed within the body to gradually lengthen and stabilize bones. It directly interacts with the patient's anatomy and is used for a surgical procedure, not for analyzing biological samples.

Therefore, the device falls under the category of a surgical implant or medical device used for reconstructive surgery, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Mr. Hull:

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.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
