Intended Use
The Metasurg subtalar implant is indicated for use in the treatment of the hyperpronated foot and stabilization of the subtalar joint. It is designed to block forward, downward and medial displacement of the talus, thus allowing normal subtalar joint motion but blocking excessive pronation and the resulting sequela. The Metasurg subtalar implants are intended for single use only.
Device Description
The Metasurg Subtalar Implant is a one-piece device made of titanium intended to be implanted into the sinus tarsi of the foot. The implant is offered in 6 sizes ranging from 7mm - 12mm in diameter. The implant is used in the treatment of excessive motion of the talus relative to the calcaneus.
More Information

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

Yes
The device is described as treating a medical condition (hyperpronated foot, stabilization of the subtalar joint) by blocking excessive pronation and its sequelae, which aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device.

No
The device is an implant used for treatment, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a one-piece device made of titanium intended to be implanted, indicating it is a physical hardware device, not software only.

Based on the provided information, 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, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description: The Metasurg subtalar implant is a physical implant made of titanium that is surgically placed into the foot. It is a therapeutic device designed to treat a physical condition (hyperpronated foot and subtalar joint instability).
  • Intended Use: The intended use describes a surgical intervention to stabilize a joint, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.

Therefore, the Metasurg subtalar implant falls under the category of a surgical implant or orthopedic device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

§ 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.

Dear Mr. Weatherford:

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.
