Intended Use
The Synthes OrthoMesh Resorbable Graft Containment system is indicated for use in maintaining the relative position of weak bony tissue such as bone grafts, bone graft substitutes or bone fragments from comminuted fractures. OrthoMesh implants may be used alone (without traditional rigid fixation) to maintain the relative position of bone grafts, bone graft substitutes or bone fragments in non-load-bearing reconstructive procedures involving areas where bone stability has not been compromised, such as tumor resections and iliac crest graft harvest sites. OrthoMesh implants must be used in conjunction with traditional rigid fixation in load bearing applications to maintain the relative position of bone grafts, bone graft substitutes or bone fragments in reconstructive procedures involving long bones, flat bones, short bones, irregular bones, appendicular skeleton and thorax. These devices are not intended for use in the spine. The devices are not intended for load bearing indications unless used in conjunction with traditional rigid fixation
Device Description
The Synthes OrthoMesh Resorbable Graft Containment System is comprised of meshes of 0.5mm, 0.8mm and 1.2mm thickness, and lengths and widths ranging from 48mm to 125mm. The Synthes OrthoMesh Resorbable Graft Containment System is also comprised of screws with a diameter ranging from 1.5mm to 2.5mm, and a length ranging from 4mm to 8mm. These implants are made from the resorbable copolymer poly (L-lactide-co-glycolide) that resorbs in vivo by hydrolysis into lactic and glycolic acids, and that are then metabolized by the body. Synthes OrthoMesh implants are resorbed completely within approximately 12 months. The implants are provided sterile and are intended for single patient use. OrthoMesh may be held in place with screws.
More Information

No
The description focuses on the material properties and physical form of a resorbable mesh and screws for bone graft containment. There is no mention of any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.

Yes
The device is described as an implantable system used to maintain the relative position of weak bony tissue, bone grafts, or bone fragments, which is a therapeutic function.

No
Explanation: The device is described as a "Resorbable Graft Containment system" used for maintaining the position of bony tissue and implants. Its function is structural support and fixation, not diagnosis.

No

The device description explicitly details physical components (meshes and screws) made from a resorbable copolymer, indicating it is a hardware medical device, not software-only.

Based on the provided information, the Synthes OrthoMesh Resorbable Graft Containment system is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The description and intended use of the OrthoMesh system clearly indicate it is a surgical implant used within the body to maintain the position of bone grafts or fragments. It is a physical device for structural support, not for analyzing biological samples.

Therefore, the Synthes OrthoMesh Resorbable Graft Containment system falls under the category of a surgical implant or medical device used for internal fixation and support, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

§ 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. Dow:

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.
