Intended Use
The Asnis™ III Cannulated Screw System is intended for fracture fixation of small and long bones and of the pelvis. The system is not intended for spinal use.
Device Description
This Special 510(k) submission is a line extension to address modifications to the Asnis™ III Cannulated Screw System. This line extension is to add additional sizes of screws to the system.
More Information

No
The 510(k) summary describes a line extension for a screw system, adding new sizes. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology typically associated with AI/ML in medical devices. The performance studies focus on mechanical strength, not algorithmic performance.

No
The device is intended for "fracture fixation," which is a treatment for injuries, but not broadly considered a 'therapeutic device' in the sense of delivering therapy. It is an osteosynthesis device, a type of medical implant used to stabilize bone fractures.

No

The device is a screw system used for fracture fixation, meaning it is a therapeutic device for treatment, not a diagnostic device for identifying medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "Cannulated Screw System" and describes adding "additional sizes of screws," indicating it is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "fracture fixation of small and long bones and of the pelvis." This describes a surgical implant used to stabilize broken bones within the body.
  • Device Description: The device is a "Cannulated Screw System" and the modification is adding "additional sizes of screws." This further confirms it's a physical implant.
  • 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 for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVD devices are used in vitro (in glass, or outside the body) to analyze samples. This device is used in vivo (in the body) for structural support.

§ 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.

Date Summary Prepared:April 17, 2007

Description:

This Special 510(k) submission is a line extension to address modifications to the Asnis™ III Cannulated Screw System. This line extension is to add additional sizes of screws to the system.

Intended Use

The modifications do not alter the intended use of the predicate systems as cleared in their respective premarket notifications. The indications for use for the subject device are provided below.

Indications

The Asnis™ III Cannulated Screw System is intended for fracture fixation of small and long bones and of the pelvis. The system is not intended for spinal use.

Substantial Equivalence:

These additional components are substantially equivalent to their predicate systems in respect to design, intended use, performance and operational principle as internal fixation components. Predicate systems include the Asnis™ III Cannulated Screw System (K000080 and K024060) and other commercially available cannulated screws on the market such Vilex 2mm Screws (K973309, K991151 & K991197) and Synthes Cannulated Screws (K962823.) Mechanical testing was conducted to compare the strength of the subject device to predicate screws. The results demonstrate that the subject components are substantially equivalent in strength to the predicate components.

Dear Ms. Kelly:

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.
