Intended Use
Knee Fusion Nails are intended for intramedullary knee arthrodesis.
Device Description
The Knee Fusion Nail is inserted in the medullary canal of long bones for knee arthrodesis. The Knee Fusion Nail features holes/slots on both ends of the nail for optional locking screws. The nails and screws are made of Stainless Steel. The screws were previously cleared in 510(k) K983942.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical properties of a physical implant, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

Yes
The device is intended for intramedullary knee arthrodesis, which is a surgical procedure to fuse a joint, thus providing a therapeutic effect.

No
A diagnostic device is used to identify a condition or disease. This device is an orthopedic implant for knee fusion, which is a treatment, not a diagnostic tool.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "Knee Fusion Nail" made of Stainless Steel, which is a physical implantable device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "for intramedullary knee arthrodesis." This describes a surgical procedure performed directly on the patient's body to fuse the knee joint.
  • Device Description: The device is a "Knee Fusion Nail" inserted into the "medullary canal of long bones." This is a physical implant used within 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 these types of samples.

Therefore, the Knee Fusion Nail is a surgical implant, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

The Knee Fusion Nail was compared to predicate Intramedullary Knee Fusion Nails through an analysis of bending strength and flexural rigidity based on the cross-sectional geometry of the nail's shaft region and the material strength properties using hand calculations. The yield strength, ultimate bending strength and flexural rigidity of the subject Knee Fusion Nail were shown to be equivalent or superior to the predicate Knee Fusion Nails included in 510(k)s K893377 and K983942.

§ 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.

Device Description

Device Class:

Panel Code:

The Knee Fusion Nail is inserted in the medullary canal of long bones for knee arthrodesis. The Knee Fusion Nail features holes/slots on both ends of the nail for optional locking screws. The nails and screws are made of Stainless Steel. The screws were previously cleared in 510(k) K983942.

Intended Use

The Knee Fusion Nail is intended for intramedullary knee arthrodesis.

Device Comparison to Legally Marketed Devices

The Knee Fusion Nail is substantially equivalent to the Smith & Nephew Knee Fusion Nail included in 510(k) K050938 based on intended use and design features. The subject nail is Stainless Steel, similar to predicate nails in 510(k)s K893377 and K983942.

The Knee Fusion Nail is substantially equivalent to the Smith & Nephew Intramedullary Knee Fusion Nails included in 510(k)s K893377 and K983942 based on intended use and material.

The Knee Fusion Nail is substantially equivalent to the Smith & Nephew Titanium Nails included in 510(k) K981529 based on design features such as screw hole/slot configuration. The predicate nails are made of Titanium, available in shorter lengths and not intended for knee arthrodesis.

Performance Testing

The Knee Fusion Nail was compared to predicate Intramedullary Knee Fusion Nails through an analysis of bending strength and flexural rigidity based on the cross-sectional geometry of the nail's shaft region and the material strength properties using hand calculations. The yield strength, ultimate bending strength and flexural rigidity of the subject Knee Fusion Nail were shown to be equivalent or superior to the predicate Knee Fusion Nails included in 510(k)s K893377 and K983942.

Dear Mr. Reabe:

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
