The device description and intended use are purely mechanical, and there are no mentions of AI, ML, image processing, or data sets typically associated with AI/ML devices.
No
The device is a sternal fixation system used for mechanical stabilization of the sternum, not for providing a therapeutic effect like drug delivery or energy emission.
No
Explanation: The device is intended for the "closure/repair of the sternum" and to "stabilize the sternum and promote fusion," which are therapeutic functions, not diagnostic ones. There is no mention of the device being used to identify or analyze medical conditions.
No
The device description explicitly states it consists of machined titanium plates, a quick-release pin, and locking screws, which are hardware components.
No, this device 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. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Description and Intended Use: The provided information clearly states that the Synthes (USA) Sternal Fixation System is a system of plates and screws used for the physical repair and stabilization of the sternum after surgery or fracture. This is a surgical implant, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.
The device's function is to physically fix and stabilize bone, which is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic one.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Synthes (USA) Sternal Fixation System is intended for use in primary or secondary closure/repair of the sternum following sternotomy or fracture of the sternum to stabilize the sternum and promote fusion.

§ 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.

Dear Mr. Talmor:
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.
