More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a mechanical bone screw and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

Yes
The description explicitly states "The Ensplint™ Bone Screws are intended to treat fractures of various small and long bones," which indicates a therapeutic purpose.

No
Explanation: The device is described as bone screws intended to treat fractures, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical bone screw, which is a hardware component.

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, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The description clearly states the device is "Bone Screws" intended to "treat fractures of various small and long bones." This is a surgical implant used directly within the body for structural support and repair.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Testing: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze samples or provide diagnostic information.

Therefore, the Ensplint™ Bone Screws are a surgical implant, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 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.

Trade Name:Ensplint™ Bone Screw
Common Name:Bone Screw
Classification Name:Smooth or threaded metallic bone fixation fastener
Predicate Device:Syntec-Taichung Non-Sterile Bone Plate and Screw
Implants. K983495, cleared 12/16/1998
Device Description:HA Cortical Self-Tapping Bone Screws in diameters of
1.5mm to 5.0mm and lengths of 4mm to 90mm.
Intended Use:The Ensplint™ Bone Screws are intended to treat fractures
of various small and long bones. The Ensplint™ Bone
Screws can also be used with the EnsplintRx Distal Radius
System.
Rationale for Substantial
Equivalence / Comparison
to Predicate:The Ensplint™ Bone Screw utilizes the same material and
technology characteristics as the Syntec Scientific Corp.
Bone Screws and conforms to the ASTM F543-2 Standard
Specification for HA Bone Screws. The diameters and
lengths are within the diameters and lengths of the predicate
Syntec Scientific Corp bone screws. Therefore testing is not
needed to demonstrate that the subject devices are
substantially equivalent to other legally marketed bone
screws.

Dear Ms. Conuel:

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.
