No
The 510(k) summary describes external fixation frame components and their mechanical and MRI compatibility testing. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology typically associated with AI/ML in medical devices.

Yes
The device is an external fixation system intended to provide stabilization of fractures, which is a therapeutic intervention.

No
Explanation: The device, the Hoffmann® II MRI, is described as an external fixation frame used to stabilize fractures. Its function is to treat or manage injuries, not to diagnose them.

No

The device description explicitly states it is adding "additional components" to an "External Fixation System," which are physical hardware components used for stabilizing fractures.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is for "stabilization of open and/or unstable fractures and where soft tissue injury precludes the use of other fracture treatments". This describes a surgical or orthopedic device used directly on the patient's body to stabilize bones.
  • Device Description: The description refers to "external fixation frame components" and their use with other external fixation systems and pins. This further reinforces its nature as a physical device for external support of the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) outside of the body to provide information about a patient's health. IVDs are typically used for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening based on laboratory analysis.

Therefore, the Hoffmann® II MRI components are an external fixation system, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

The Hoffmann II MRI components are external fixation frame components for use with the components of the Hoffmann® External Fixation System, Hoffmann® II External Fixation System, Monotube * TRIAX * External Fixation Svstem and in comjunction with Apex® Pins. It is intended to provide stabilization of open and/or unstable fractures and where soft tissue injurv precludes the use of other fracture treatments such as 1M rodding or casting.

§ 888.3030 Single/multiple component metallic bone fixation appliances and accessories.

(a)
Identification. Single/multiple component metallic bone fixation appliances and accessories are devices intended to be implanted consisting of one or more metallic components and their metallic fasteners. The devices contain a plate, a nail/plate combination, or a blade/plate combination that are made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, stainless steel, and titanium, that are intended to be held in position with fasteners, such as screws and nails, or bolts, nuts, and washers. These devices are used for fixation of fractures of the proximal or distal end of long bones, such as intracapsular, intertrochanteric, intercervical, supracondylar, or condylar fractures of the femur; for fusion of a joint; or for surgical procedures that involve cutting a bone. The devices may be implanted or attached through the skin so that a pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system.(b)
Classification. Class II.

Description:

This Special 510(k) submission is intended to add additional components to the predicate Hoffmann® II MRI External Fixation System.

Intended Use:

The modifications do not alter the intended use of the predicate systems as cleared in its respective premarket notifications. The subject and predicate devices are external fixation frames intended to provide stabilization of open and/or unstable fractures of the upper and lower extremities as well as the pelvic disruptions. The indications for use for the Hoffmann® II MRI External Fixation System are provided below.

Indications for Use:

The Hoffmann II MRI components are external fixation frame components for use with the components of the Hoffmann® External Fixation System, Hoffmann® II External Fixation System, Monotube * TRIAX * External Fixation Svstem and in comjunction with Apex® Pins. It is intended to provide stabilization of open and/or unstable fractures and where soft tissue injurv precludes the use of other fracture treatments such as 1M rodding or casting.

Substantial Equivalence:

The subject Hoffmann II MRI components share the same intended use, and basic design concepts as that of the currently available Hoffmann® II MRI External Fixation System and Hoffmann II External Fixation System. Mechanical testing demonstrated comparable mechanical properties to the predicate components and testing in a Magnetic Resonance Environment established that the components could be safely used in Magnetic Resonance Imaging under predetermined conditions.

Dear Ms. Kelly:

We have reviewed your Scction 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 adultcration.

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.
