No
The 510(k) summary describes a mechanical implant system and does not mention any software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.
Yes
The device is a fixation system for fractures, directly treating and stabilizing bones.
No
The device is a surgical implant (Synthes Elastic Intramedullary Nail System) used for fixation of fractures, which is a treatment not a diagnostic function.
No
The device description explicitly states that the system consists of "flexible intramedullary fixation devices" manufactured from Titanium Alloy, which are physical hardware components.
No, 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 and Intended Use: The Synthes Elastic Intramedullary Nail (EIN) System is a surgical implant used for fixing bone fractures. It is a physical device inserted into the body, not a test performed on a sample outside the body.
The information provided clearly describes a medical device used for surgical intervention, not an in vitro diagnostic test.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Synthes Elastic Intramedullary Nail (EIN) System is indicated for fixation of diaphyseal fractures where the canal is narrow or flexibility of the implant is paramount. This includes upper extremity fractures in all patients and lower extremity fractures in pediatric or small-stature patients. This system is also intended to treat metaphyseal and epiphyseal fractures, such as radial neck fractures and is intended for fixation of small long bones, such as carpal and tarsal bones. In pediatric applications, the flexibility of the EIN allows it to be inserted at a point which avoids disruption to the bone growth plate.

Dear Ms. Boyle:
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. 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 forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
