Intended Use
The ENSPLINTRx™ Distal Radius System is intended to be used for the fixation of unstable distal radius fractures in which closed reduction is not suitable: - Joint destruction and/or subluxation visible on x-ray; . - Osteotomy and repair of distal radius malunion with or without bone graft; . - Non-displaced fractures in which the physician and patient opt for rigid stability . - Transverse fractures of the distal radius with or without comminution (e.g. AO . classifications A2 and A3) - Transverse fractures of the distal radius with an extension into the joint without . comminution (e.g. AO classification C1); - Failed fracture fixation with or without bone graft for the types of fractures above; . - The above types of fractures (i.e. AO classifications non-displaced transverse, A2, . A3, and C1) in which reduction has been lost following fixation with percutaneous pins with or without an external fixator.
Device Description
The EnsplintRx™ configuration consists of a flexible implant manufactured from stainless steel.
More Information

No
The summary describes a mechanical implant for fracture fixation and does not mention any AI/ML components or image processing capabilities beyond standard x-ray interpretation by a physician.

Yes.
The device is intended to fix unstable distal radius fractures and repair malunion, which directly addresses a health problem.

No
The device is described as an implant for the fixation of distal radius fractures, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function.

No

The device description explicitly states that the EnsplintRx™ configuration consists of a flexible implant manufactured from stainless steel, indicating it is a physical medical device, not software-only.

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 ENSPLINTRx™ Distal Radius System is a surgical implant (a flexible implant made from stainless steel) intended for the fixation of bone fractures. It is used in the body, not to test samples from the body.
  • Input: The input is an x-ray, which is an imaging modality used to visualize the bone structure, not a biological sample for testing.

The device is a surgical implant used to treat a physical condition (fractures), not a diagnostic tool used to analyze biological samples.

§ 888.3030 Single/multiple component metallic bone fixation appliances and accessories.

(a)
Identification. Single/multiple component metallic bone fixation appliances and accessories are devices intended to be implanted consisting of one or more metallic components and their metallic fasteners. The devices contain a plate, a nail/plate combination, or a blade/plate combination that are made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, stainless steel, and titanium, that are intended to be held in position with fasteners, such as screws and nails, or bolts, nuts, and washers. These devices are used for fixation of fractures of the proximal or distal end of long bones, such as intracapsular, intertrochanteric, intercervical, supracondylar, or condylar fractures of the femur; for fusion of a joint; or for surgical procedures that involve cutting a bone. The devices may be implanted or attached through the skin so that a pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system.(b)
Classification. Class II.

Dear Mr. Nelson:

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.
