Intended Use
The Universal Clamp System is a temporary implant for use in orthopedic surgery. The system is intended to provide temporary stabilization as a bone anchor during the development of solid bony fusion and aid in the repair of bone factures. The indications for use include, but are not limited to, the following applications: 1. Spinal trauma surgery, used in sublaminar, interspinous, or facet wiring techniques; 2. Spinal reconstructive surgery, incorporated into constructs for the purpose of correction of spinal deformities such as scoliosis, spondylolisthesis; 3. Spinal degenerative surgery, as an adjunct to spinal fusions; The Universal Clamp System may also be used in conjunction with other medical implants made of titanium alloy whenever "wiring" may help secure the attachment of other implants.
Device Description
The Universal Clamp System is a temporary orthopedic implant intended to provide stabilization during the development of solid bony fusion and aid in the repair of bone fractures. The device system is designed to be incorporated into constructs and used in conjunction with other medical implants made of stainless steel whenever "wiring" may help secure the attachment of other implants.
More Information

Not Found

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

No
The device is described as a temporary orthopedic implant used for stabilization during bony fusion and fracture repair, not directly providing therapy.

No

The device is a temporary orthopedic implant used for stabilization during surgery, not for diagnosing conditions. Its purpose is to aid in fusion and repair, not to identify or monitor medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "temporary orthopedic implant" and a "device system designed to be incorporated into constructs and used in conjunction with other medical implants made of stainless steel". This indicates a physical hardware device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's a "temporary implant for use in orthopedic surgery" to provide "temporary stabilization as a bone anchor." This describes a device used within the body for structural support during healing.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces this, calling it a "temporary orthopedic implant" used for "stabilization during the development of solid bony fusion and aid in the repair of bone fractures."
  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics (IVDs) are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This device does not perform any such tests on samples.

The Universal Clamp System is a surgical implant, not a diagnostic device.

Dear Ms. Elias:

This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of March 06, 2006.

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. Drue. 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.
