Intended Use
The MBAResorb Implant is indicated as an internal support to primary surgical interventions in the treatment of flat foot, providing structural support at minimum during the first three months of healing.
Device Description
The MBAResorb Implant consists of a soft-threaded implant designed to be inserted between the posterior and middle facets of the subtalar joint and corresponding instrumentation to facilitate insertion. The design differs from the predicate Subtalar MBA device only in that the material is reabsorbed into the body.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a physical implant and surgical instrumentation, with no mention of software, algorithms, or AI/ML terms.

Yes
The device is indicated as an internal support to primary surgical interventions in the treatment of flat foot, providing structural support, which is a therapeutic function.

No
The device is described as an internal support implant for a surgical intervention, not for diagnosing a condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is an "implant" and includes "corresponding instrumentation to facilitate insertion," indicating it is a physical hardware device, not software only.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health. They are used in vitro (outside the body).
  • The MBAResorb Implant is an implantable device used in vivo (inside the body) to provide structural support during surgery. It is a surgical implant, not a diagnostic tool that analyzes biological samples.

The description clearly states its function as an internal support during surgery for flat foot, which is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic one.

(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.

4. Description of Device

The MBARsaro Implant consists of a soft-threaded implant designed to be inserted between the posterior and middle facets of the subtalar joint and corresponding instrumentation to facilitate insertion. The design differs from the predicate Subtalar MBA device only in that the material is reabsorbed into the body.

Materials: Poly L-Lactide (PLLA)

Function: The system functions as a temporary, supplemental support to primary interventions in the treatment of flat foot.

    1. Intended Use The MBAResor Implant is indicated as an internal support to primary surgical interventions in the treatment of flat foot, providing structural support at minimum during the first three months of healing'.
      Use of this implant is contraindicated for use in patients with the following conditions:
  • Active local infection / any evidence of infection �

  • Allergic reaction to foreign bodies .

  • Poor or insufficient bone stock ●

  • The presence of any clinica! or functional abnormalities that would . preclude the potential of achieving a good result for the patient

  • Other conditions that may place the patient at risk (physiologically) .

Comparison of technological characteristics of the device to predicate and legally 6. marketed devices:

There are no significant differences between the MBA Resorb Implant and other I horesrobable systems currently being marketed which would adversely affect the use of the product. The MBA Resorb Implant employs the same basic mechanical features as the predicate, legally marketed device specified in section I, but the material is reabsorbed by the body. The poly l-lactic acid material has been in use in a variety of other implant device applications for over 10 years.
