Intended Use
The primary indication for these devices is the replacement of segmental defects of long bone, including midshaft replacement, and arthrodesis of the knee. Indications include: 1. Treatment of patients who are not candidates for total knee arthroplasty. 2. Irretrievably failed total knee arthroplasty. 3. Limb salvage in oncology surgery. 4. Trauma. 5. Any other condition where there is little soft tissue or bony tissue available for support, and arthrodesis is the treatment of choice. These devices are intended for cemented use only.
Device Description
The Modular Arthrodesis Nail is a multi-component device designed to provide arthrodesis fixation of the knee. The device has a central locking collar that connects fernoral and tibial adapter segments. The adapter segments are available in two resection lengths (1 cm or 3 cm), each with two body styles (standard or elliptical). All components of the Modular Arthrodesis Nail are manufactured from Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy conforming to ASTM F-136.

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

Yes

The device, a "Modular Arthrodesis Nail," is used for the "replacement of segmental defects of long bone" and "arthrodesis of the knee" in various medical conditions, indicating its direct role in treating and managing health conditions, which aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device.

No
The device is a Modular Arthrodesis Nail intended for skeletal fixation (arthrodesis of the knee), which is a treatment, not a diagnostic procedure.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components made of titanium alloy, indicating it is a hardware medical device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description: The provided description clearly states that this device is a "Modular Arthrodesis Nail," a multi-component device designed to provide "arthrodesis fixation of the knee." This is a surgical implant used within the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the "replacement of segmental defects of long bone" and "arthrodesis of the knee," which are surgical procedures.
  • Anatomical Site: The anatomical site is the "Knee, long bone," which are parts of the body where surgical implants are placed.

The device is a surgical implant, not a diagnostic tool that analyzes samples outside the body.

Dear Mr. Baker:

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.
