Intended Use
Synthes Trochanteric Fixation Nail (TFN) System is intended to treat stable and unstable fractures of the proximal femur including pertrochanteric fractures, intertrochanteric fractures, basal neck fractures, and combinations thereof. The Long TFN is additionally indicated for subtrochanteric fractures, pertrochanteric fractures associated with shaft fractures, pathologic fractures (including prophylactic use) in both trochanteric and diaphyseal regions, long subtrochanteric fractures, proximal or distal non-unions, malunions, and revisions.
Device Description
Synthes TFN System consists of a cannulated femoral nail, a cannulated helical blade and a cannulated nail end cap. Synthes Helical Blades will be available in three additional lengths, 75 mm, 125 mm, and 130 mm.
More Information

Not Available

No
The summary describes a mechanical implant system for fracture fixation and contains no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or performance studies typically associated with AI/ML devices.

Yes
The device is intended to treat fractures of the proximal femur, which is a therapeutic purpose.

No
Explanation: The device described is a surgical implant (nail, helical blade, end cap) used for treating bone fractures, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly lists physical components (cannulated femoral nail, cannulated helical blade, cannulated nail end cap) which are hardware.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device description and intended use: The provided text describes a surgical implant (a nail and related components) used to fix bone fractures in the proximal femur. This is a device used within the body for structural support and healing, not for testing samples outside the body.

The information clearly indicates a device used for surgical intervention, not for diagnostic testing of biological samples.

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. This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your Section 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please contact the Office of Compliance at (240) 276-0120.
