The MEMOMETAL Micro ARIM® is indicated for - Hand: Ligament reconstruction - Ankle: Midfoot reconstruction - Foot: Hallux Valgus reconstruction - Wrist: Scapholunate Ligament reconstruction - Pubis: Fixation in the pubis for bladder neck suspension to resolve stress urinary incontinence
Device Description
MEMOMETAL Micro ARIM® anchors are single-use bone fixation appliances intended to be permanently implanted. Micro ARIM® anchors made of shape memory nickel titanium alloy. MEMOMETAL Micro ARIM anchors can be used in 2 versions with USP2-0 to USP 4-0 sutures (1 or 2 needles) listed below: Anchors Micro ARIM® th. 1mm - Length 3,8mm polyester suture (K012201) Anchors Micro ARIM® th. 1mm - Length 3,8mm Fiberwire suture (K041589) MEMOMETAL Micro ARIM® Anchors adopt an opened position after introducing into bone which allows a permanent fixation, thus supporting a secure ligament restoration.
More Information

No
The 510(k) summary describes a mechanical bone fixation device made of shape memory alloy. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any software-driven analytical capabilities.

No
This device is a permanently implanted anchor used for ligament reconstruction and fixation and does not provide therapy itself.

No

The device is described as a bone fixation appliance intended for permanent implantation to support ligament reconstruction, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly states that the MEMOMETAL Micro ARIM® anchors are "single-use bone fixation appliances intended to be permanently implanted" and are made of "shape memory nickel titanium alloy." This indicates a physical, implanted hardware device, not a software-only device.

No, 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 (like blood, urine, or tissue) to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Description: The MEMOMETAL Micro ARIM® is a bone fixation appliance intended for permanent implantation to support ligament restoration. It is a physical device implanted into the body, not a test performed on a sample outside the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended uses listed are surgical procedures involving the fixation of ligaments to bone, not diagnostic tests.

The information provided clearly describes a surgical implant, which falls under a different regulatory category than IVDs.

§ 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. Audic:

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.
