Intended Use
The Jet-X TiN Coated Half Pin is intended to be used with an external fixation system for fracture fixation (open and closed); pseudoarthrosis or nonunion of long bones; limb lengthening by epiphyseal or metaphyseal distraction, correction of bony or soft tissue deformity; correction of segmental bony or soft tissue defects; and joint arthrodesis.
Device Description
The Jet-X TiN Coated Half Pin is a modification of the Hex-Fix Half Pin that was cleared for market under K953397. This submission provides for a titanium nitride (TiN) coated stainless steel half pin.
More Information

No
The summary describes a mechanical device (a half pin for external fixation) and makes no mention of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is used for fracture fixation, pseudoarthrosis or nonunion of long bones, limb lengthening, correction of deformities, and joint arthrodesis, all of which are considered therapeutic interventions.

No
Explanation: The device is an orthopedic implant (half pin) used for fracture fixation and limb lengthening. Its intended uses are therapeutic, not diagnostic.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "half pin," which is a physical hardware component used in external fixation systems. It is a modification of a previously cleared hardware device.

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 externally for fracture fixation, limb lengthening, deformity correction, and joint arthrodesis. These are all procedures performed on the body, not on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a "half pin" used with an "external fixation system." This further reinforces its use as a physical implant/component for external support and manipulation of bones.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. This device does not fit that description.

§ 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.

Device Description:

The Jet-X TiN Coated Half Pin is a modification of the Hex-Fix Half Pin that was cleared for market under K953397. This submission provides for a titanium nitride (TiN) coated stainless steel half pin.

Intended Use:

The Jet-X TiN Coated Half Pin is intended to be used with an external fixation system for fracture fixation (open and closed); pseudoarthrosis or nonunion of long bones; limb lengthening by epiphyseal or metaphyseal distraction, correction of bony or soft tissue deformity; correction of segmental bony or soft tissue defects; and joint arthrodesis.

Technological Characteristics:

The principles of operation for the Jet-X TiN Coated Half Pin are identical to the Hex-Fix Half Pin and the Richards Titanium Half Pin. Both are half pins that are used with external fixation systems for fracture fixation (open and closed) and other indications listed above. The titanium nitride (TiN) coating is a similar coating currently used on the B-P Extended Collar Femoral Stem Prostheses marketed by Endotec, Inc. and on the Sherlock Threaded Suture Anchor marketed by Doctor's Research Group. Inc. The design and material of the Jet-X TiN Coated Half Pin has the same technological characteristics as one or more of the predicate devices.

Substantial Equivalence Information:

The intended use of the Jet-X TiN Coated Half Pin is identical to the half pin predicate devices. The Jet-X TiN Coated Half Pin shape and design are identical to the Hex-Fix and Richards Half Pin predicate devices. The device is manufactured from the identical material, 316L stainless steel, as the Hex-Fix Half Pin. The titanium nitride (TiN) coating is a similar coating used on the B-P Acetabular Component System and Sherlock Threaded Suture Anchor predicate devices.
