More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a physical bone wedge made of titanium foam and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing capabilities that would indicate the use of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is described as an internal bone fixation device for bone fractures, fusions, or osteotomies in the ankle and foot, which are therapeutic interventions.

No

The device description indicates that the BIOFOAM™ Bone Wedge is a physical implant (titanium metal foam wedge) used for internal bone fixation and angular correction, not for identifying or diagnosing a condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "titanium metal foam wedge," indicating it is a physical hardware device, not software.

Based on the provided information, the BIOFOAM™ Bone Wedge 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.
  • BIOFOAM™ Bone Wedge Function: The description clearly states that the BIOFOAM™ Bone Wedge is a titanium metal foam wedge used for internal bone fixation during surgical procedures (fractures, fusions, osteotomies). It is a physical implant used within the body to provide structural support.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any analysis of biological samples, detection of biomarkers, or diagnostic testing.

Therefore, the BIOFOAM™ Bone Wedge falls under the category of a surgical implant or device used for structural support and fixation, not an in vitro diagnostic test.

§ 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. Young:

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.
