Intended Use
The Biopro subtalar implant is indicated for use in the treatment of the hyperpronated foot and stabilization of the subtalar joint. It is designed to block forward, downward and medial displacement of the talus, thus allowing normal subtalar joint motion but blocking excessive pronation and the resulting sequela. Conditions include: Flat foot treatment in children and adolescents Congenital flat foot Unsuccessful long term orthopedic treatment (orthodics) Tarsal coalitions Painfully flat foot Supple deformity in posterior tibial tendon dysfunction Paralytic flat foot Subtalar instability
Device Description
The Biopro Sub-talar Implant is a combination of three components. Two components made of titanium allow and one component made of UHMW Polyethylene. It will be provided in a range of diameters, including 8mm-12mm in diameter. The device will be cannulated for precise implantation. The device is implanted using a standard 0.125" square driver which is cannulated.

No
The device description and intended use focus on a physical implant and its mechanical function, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

Yes
The device is indicated for use in the treatment of the hyperpronated foot and stabilization of the subtalar joint, which involves treating a medical condition and restoring normal function.

No

The Biopro subtalar implant is designed to treat conditions like hyperpronated foot and flat foot by surgically stabilizing the subtalar joint. It is a therapeutic implant, not a device used to identify or diagnose a condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a combination of three components made of titanium alloy and UHMW Polyethylene, which are hardware materials.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Description: The Biopro subtalar implant is a physical implant made of titanium and UHMW Polyethylene that is surgically placed in the subtalar joint.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to treat and stabilize the subtalar joint by blocking excessive pronation. This is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic test.

The device is a surgical implant used for treatment, not for analyzing biological samples to diagnose a condition.

§ 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.

Proprietary Name: Biopro Sub-talar Implant

Common Name: Flatfoot Implant

Classification name: Screw, Fixation, Bone (per CFR section 888.3040)

Predicate Device:

The Biopro Sub-talar Implant is substantially equivalent in design, composition and function to other orthopedice screws manufactured and approved for maket such as: KMI Subtalar MBA System™ K960692 and the Kalix® implant K001231

Device Description:

The Biopro Sub-talar Implant is a combination of three components. Two components made of titanium allow and one component made of UHMW Polyethylene. It will be provided in a range of diameters, including 8mm-12mm in diameter. The device will be cannulated for precise implantation. The device is implanted using a standard 0.125" square driver which is cannulated.

Intended use:

The Biopro Subtalar Implant will be used on indications that are common with presently marketed devices. The primary indications for use of the Biopro Subtalar Implant is as a spacer for stabilixation of the subtalar joint. It is designed to block the anterior and inferior displacement of the talus, thus allowing normal subtalar joint motion but blocking excessive pronation and the resulting sequela.

The following are specific adverse effects which should be understood by the surgeon and rric following are spoolins these do not include all adverse effects which can occur with surgery in general, but are important considerations particular to metallic internal stabilization devices. General surgical risks should be explained to the patient prior to surgery.

    1. Infection
    1. Pain discomfort or abnormal sensations due to presence of the implant
    1. Metal sensitivity or allergic reaction to a foreign body
    1. Migration of the implant loosening of the implant
    1. Delaved correction in alignment
    1. Decrease in bone density due to stress shielding
    1. Bursitis
