Intended Use
The ActivaPin™ is indicated for fixation of bone fractures, osteotomies, arthrodeses and osteochondral fractures in the presence of appropriate immobilization.
Device Description
The ActivaPin™ is made of completely bioabsorbable poly(L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA), and they degrade in vivo by hydrolysis into alpha-hydroxy acids that are metabolized by the body. As the operated bone fracture or osteotomy gains strength during healing, the ActivaPin™ gradually loses its strength, however, maintaining its function at least 8 weeks. Bioabsorption takes place within two years thus eliminating the need for implant removal surgery.
More Information

Not Found

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

No
The device is used for bone fixation, which is a supportive function during the healing process, not a direct therapeutic treatment of a disease or condition itself.

No

The device description indicates it is a bioabsorbable pin for fixation of bone fractures and osteotomies, not for diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly states the ActivaPin™ is a physical pin made of bioabsorbable material, intended for bone fixation. This is a hardware device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use of the ActivaPin™ is for the fixation of bone fractures, osteotomies, arthrodeses and osteochondral fractures. This is a therapeutic and structural function performed within the body.
  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used outside the body (in vitro).
  • Device Description: The description clearly states the device is a bioabsorbable pin that degrades in vivo (within the body) and is used for bone fixation.

The ActivaPin™ is a medical device used for surgical intervention and support within the body, not for diagnostic testing of samples outside the body.

§ 888.3040 Smooth or threaded metallic bone fixation fastener.

(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.

DEVICE DESCRIPTION AND PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION

The ActivaPin™ is indicated for fixation of bone fractures, osteotomies, arthrodeses and osteochondral fractures in the presence of appropriate immobilization. Pins are available in several different dimensions, including diameters of 1.5 – 3.2 mm and lengths of 20 – 70 mm.

ActivaPin™ is made of completely bioabsorbable poly(L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA), and they degrade in vivo by hydrolysis into alpha-hydroxy acids that are metabolized by the body. As the operated bone fracture or osteotomy gains strength during healing, the ActivaPin™ gradually loses its strength, however, maintaining its function at least 8 weeks. Bioabsorption takes place within two years thus eliminating the need for implant removal surgery.

EQUIVALENCE TO MARKETED PRODUCTS

The ActivaPin"M Bioabsorbable Pin is substantially equivalent to those the biodegradable pins cited as predicate devices above.

The Bioretec ActivaPin™ has the same intended use and principles of operation, and very similar technological characteristic as the predicate devices. Any differences between ActivaPin™ and predicate devices do not raise any questions of safety and effectiveness.

Non-clinical tests and In vitro-testing determined that the ActivaPin™ has substantially similar performance as compared to its predicate devices.
