Intended Use
The Subtalar Implant is indicated for use in treating the hyperpronated foot by stabilizing the subtalar joint. It is intended to block forward, and medial displacement of the talus, thereby limiting the excessive eversion of the hindfoot. Examples include, but are not limited to: - Symptomatic acquired flat foot treatment in children and adolescents . - Symptomatic congenital flexible flat foot . - Tarsal coalitions when associated with the flatfoot deformity . - Posterior tibial tendon dysfunction with supple feet . - Paralytic flat foot . - Subtalar Instability . - Severely pronated foot .
Device Description
The Subtalar Implant is a one-piece device comprised of titanium alloy or PEEK-OPTIMA® intended to be implanted into the sinus tarsi of the implant is available in eight sizes to accommodate a wide range of patient sizes. The device is used to stabilize the subtalar joint by restoring the arch of the foot and block anterior movement of the talus.

No
The device description and intended use clearly define a physical implant for surgical intervention, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" and "Description of the training set..." sections are explicitly marked as "Not Found".

Yes
The device is described as "treating the hyperpronated foot by stabilizing the subtalar joint" and is implanted to "restore the arch of the foot," which are therapeutic actions.

No

The provided text describes a subtalar implant used for treatment (stabilizing the subtalar joint and blocking displacement), not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical implant made of titanium alloy or PEEK-OPTIMA®, intended for surgical implantation. This is a hardware device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The Subtalar Implant is a physical device made of titanium alloy or PEEK-OPTIMA® that is surgically implanted into the sinus tarsi of the foot. Its purpose is to mechanically stabilize the subtalar joint and treat hyperpronation.
  • Lack of Biological Sample Analysis: The description does not mention any analysis of biological samples from the patient. The device's function is purely mechanical and structural.

Therefore, the 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.
