Intended Use
Synthes Angular Stable Locking System (ASLS) is indicated for use with Synthes Titanium Intramedullary Nails to achieve angular and axial stable locking.
Device Description
Synthes Angular Stable Locking System (ASLS) is designed as an alternative device for interlocking Synthes Titanium Intramedullary Nails. The ASLS consists of a titanium screw with a premounted peek sleeve and is available in diameters ranging between 4.0 mm - 6.0 mm and overall lengths ranging between 26 mm - 125 mm.
More Information

No
The summary describes a mechanical locking system for intramedullary nails, with no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data-driven performance metrics.

No.
The device is a component of a locking system for intramedullary nails, used to achieve angular and axial stable locking, rather than directly treating a disease or condition.

No
The device description indicates that the Synthes Angular Stable Locking System (ASLS) is a component designed for use with intramedullary nails to provide angular and axial stable locking, functioning as an alternative device for interlocking. Its purpose is to provide structural stability, not to diagnose medical conditions or diseases.

No

The device description explicitly states that the device consists of a titanium screw with a premounted peek sleeve, which are physical hardware components.

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 used with Synthes Titanium Intramedullary Nails to achieve angular and axial stable locking. This describes a surgical implant used within the body to stabilize fractures.
  • Device Description: The description details a titanium screw with a peek sleeve, available in various sizes. This is consistent with a medical device used in orthopedic surgery.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment.

IVD devices are used outside the body to analyze biological samples. This device is clearly intended for internal use during surgery.

Dear Ms. Musgnung:

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 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.
