More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a mechanical implant (intramedullary nail) and its features, with no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any data-driven analytical capabilities. The performance studies are non-clinical mechanical tests.

Yes
The device is used for the "fixation of fractures caused by trauma or disease, the fixation of femurs that have been surgically prepared (osteotomy) for correction of deformity, and for arthrodesis," which describes therapeutic purposes.

No

This device is an implantable intramedullary nail system used for the fixation and stabilization of bone fractures and deformities, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "set of intramedullary nails," which are physical implants, not software.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the devices are "to be implanted into the femur for alignment, stabilization and fixation of fractures... and for arthrodesis." This describes a surgical implant used in vivo (within the body) for structural support and repair.
  • Device Description: The description confirms it's a "set of intramedullary nails," which are also implanted devices.
  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics (IVDs) 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. This device does not perform any such tests.

The information provided consistently points to this being a surgical implant, not an IVD.

Dear Ms. Earl:

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.
