Intended Use
The Ascension® Modular Radial Head is intended for: - Replacement of the radial head for degenerative or post-traumatic disabilities presenting pain, crepitation, and decreased motion at the radio-humeral and/or proximal radio-ulnar joint with: - joint destruction or subluxation visible on x-ray - resistance to conservative treatment - Primary replacement after fracture of the radial head - Symptomatic sequelae after radial head resection - Revision following failed radial head arthroplasty
Device Description
The Ascension® Modular Radial Head is an anatomically designed, single-use, modular prosthesis designed for replacement of the proximal end of the radius. It is made from ASTM F1537 cobalt chromium alloy. Head components available in six sizes and stem components available in four sizes are interchangeable and achieve assembly by means of a taper connection.
More Information

No
The document describes a mechanical implant and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.

Yes
The device is described as an artificial replacement for the radial head to address pain, decreased motion, and joint destruction, which are therapeutic goals.

No
The device description and intended use indicate that this is a prosthesis for joint replacement, which is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic tool.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "modular prosthesis designed for replacement of the proximal end of the radius" and is "made from ASTM F1537 cobalt chromium alloy," indicating it is a physical implant, not software.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVDs are used to examine specimens from the human body. They are used to diagnose diseases or other conditions, including a determination of the state of health, in order to cure, mitigate, treat, or prevent disease. Examples include blood tests, urine tests, and genetic tests.
  • This device is a surgical implant. It is a prosthesis designed to replace a part of the radial bone in the arm. It is surgically implanted into the patient's body.

The description clearly states its intended use is for replacement of the radial head due to various conditions and fractures, and the device description details its material and modular design for surgical implantation. This falls under the category of a medical device, specifically a prosthetic implant, not an in vitro diagnostic.

DEVICE DESCRIPTION:

The Ascension® Modular Radial Head is an anatomically designed, single-use, modular prosthesis designed for replacement of the proximal end of the radius. It is made from ASTM F1537 cobalt chromium alloy. Head components available in six sizes and stem components available in four sizes are interchangeable and achieve assembly by means of a taper connection.

INTENDED USE:

The Ascension® Modular Radial Head is intended for:

  • e Replacement of the radial head for degenerative or post-traumatic disabilities presenting pain, crepitation, and decreased motion at the radio-humeral and/or proximal radio-ulnar joint with:
    • o joint destruction or subluxation visible on x-ray
    • o resistance to conservative treatment
  • Primary replacement after fracture of the radial head
  • Symptomatic sequelae after radial head resection .
  • . Revision following failed radial head arthroplasty

BASIS OF SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE:

A comparison of materials and design features, as well as performance tests and analyses, demonstrate that the Ascension® Modular Radial Head is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.

Dear Mr. Strzepa:

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.
