Not Found

No
The summary describes a system of titanium plates for bone fixation and does not mention any software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.

Yes
The device is described as a system for stable fixation of osteotomies and treatment of deformities, fractures, and malalignment caused by injury or disease, indicating its use in managing a medical condition.

No

The device description indicates it is a system of plates used for fixation of osteotomies and treatment of fractures and malalignment, which are surgical and treatment-oriented functions rather than diagnostic ones.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of titanium plates, which are hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This information is used for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description: The Synthes TomoFixTM Osteotomy System is a system of titanium plates and instruments used for surgical procedures (osteotomies) on bones. It is implanted into the body to provide stable fixation.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical procedure to correct bone deformities and fractures.

This device is a surgical implant, not a diagnostic tool that analyzes biological samples.

§ 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. Nittinger:

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.
