Intended Use
The Cranion™ Cranial Fixation System intended for reconstruction of the craniomaxillofacial skeleton and for reattachment of cranial bone flaps after craniotomy procedures. The system is used to align and stabilized bony tissue while normal healing occurs. Each implantable component is intended for single use only and may be combined only with other titanium and titanium alloy implants.
Device Description
The Cranion™ Cranial Fixation System includes a variety of plate configurations for different anatomical applications. Titanium alloy plates, and titanium alloy screws of varying lengths are included for fixation of the plates to the craniomaxillofacial bony tissue. Titanium alloy clamps and clips are included for the reattachment of cranial bone flaps after craniotomy procedures.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on mechanical components (plates, screws, clamps, clips) for physical fixation and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing related to AI/ML.

No
The device is intended for reconstruction and reattachment of bone tissue for healing, which is a supportive rather than therapeutic function.

No

The device is a Cranial Fixation System used for reconstruction and reattachment of bony tissue, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description explicitly states that the system includes physical components such as titanium alloy plates, screws, clamps, and clips, which are hardware.

Based on the provided information, the Cranion™ Cranial Fixation System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the system is for the reconstruction and reattachment of bony tissue in the craniomaxillofacial skeleton. This is a surgical procedure performed in vivo (within the living body).
  • Device Description: The device consists of plates, screws, clamps, and clips made of titanium alloy. These are physical implants used to stabilize bone.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) in vitro (outside the living body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVD devices are typically used in laboratories or clinical settings to analyze biological samples. The Cranion™ system is a surgical implant used directly on the patient's bone.

Dear Dr. Wellisz:

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.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (240) 276-0115.
