Intended Use
Percutaneous Compression Wire system for the fixation of osseous fragments or fractures of small bones, including: - Scaphoid fractures - Lunate fractures - Capitate - Carpal fractures & non-unions - Capitellum fractures - Humeral head fractures - Trapezial fractures - Metacarpal and metatarsal fractures - Phalangeal fractures - Distal radial fractures - Ulnar styloid fractures - Osteo-chrondral fractures - Small joint fusions - Glenoid fractures - Intercarpal fusions - Interphalangeal fractures - Metatarsal osteotomies - Tarsal fusions - Malleolar fractures - Hammer toe fixation
Device Description
The PCW" is supplied as a single length threaded stainless steel wire or pin. The pin is selftapping and self-cutting and does not vary in length or diameter. The engineering drawings include diameter and length information. However, the pins are nominally six inches in length and fifty-nine thousandths diameter. The pins are intended for small bone applications (fractures and osteotomies) including distal fragments of long bones. The principal areas of use are the upper extremity and the hands and feet. The pins may be used for selected fractures elsewhere in the body so long as medically indicated and bone mass compatible. The primary use of the wires is percutaneous, that is, without the need for an external fixatior as in the case of "hammer-toes" or similar phlangeal or small bone losteotomies. The secondary use of the wires is in association with the use of an external fixation device as a means to secure and fix small fragments until healing is complete. MMT supplies instrumentation designed specifically to interface with this implant system. Their use of general manual orthopaedic instrumentation is not recommended for the insertion of this device. The screws are made from stainless steel alloy.

No
The device description is purely mechanical and there is no mention of AI/ML or related concepts like image processing, training data, or performance metrics associated with AI/ML.

No.
The device is a Percutaneous Compression Wire system used for the fixation of osseous fragments or fractures of small bones, which is a structural implant for orthopedic fixation, not a therapeutic device designed to treat a disease or condition actively.

No
The device description indicates it is a Percutaneous Compression Wire system used for the fixation of osseous fragments or fractures, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "single length threaded stainless steel wire or pin," which is a physical hardware component, not software.

Based on the provided information, 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, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description: The description clearly states that this device is a "Percutaneous Compression Wire system" which is a physical implant (a threaded stainless steel wire or pin) used for the fixation of bone fragments and fractures.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the surgical fixation of bones, not for testing biological samples.

The device is a surgical implant used directly within the body for structural support and fixation, which is the opposite of an in vitro diagnostic device.

§ 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.

Dear Mr. Schlerf:

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. Iisting 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
