More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a mechanical implant and mentions no software, algorithms, or data processing beyond standard mechanical testing. There is no mention of AI, ML, or related terms.

Yes
The device is an implant for the replacement of the proximal end of the radius, addressing pain, crepitation, and decreased motion, indicating a therapeutic purpose.

No

This device is a radial head implant used for replacement, which is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic one. The mention of x-ray is for assessing joint destruction, which is a diagnostic method, but the device itself does not perform diagnostics.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a radial head implant, which is a physical medical device, not software.

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 (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. These tests are performed outside of the body.
  • Device Description: The description clearly states this is a "Radial Head implant," which is a physical device intended to be surgically implanted into the body to replace a damaged bone.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "replacement of the proximal end of the radius," which is a surgical procedure, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.

This device is a surgical implant, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Dear Mr. Plunkett;

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.
