More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a physical implant (silicone spacer) with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing, which are typically associated with AI/ML in medical devices.

Yes.
The device is a joint replacement for patients with advanced osteoarthritis, post-traumatic arthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis, which are conditions treated by therapeutic devices.

No
The device description indicates it is a "single component silicone spacer" for "cementless replacement of the proximal interphalangeal joint," which is a prosthetic and not involved in diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "single component silicone spacer" with physical stems and a hinge, indicating it is a physical implant, not software.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVDs are used to examine specimens from the human body. The description clearly states the device is a "cementless replacement of the proximal interphalangeal joint," which is a surgical implant placed within the body.
  • The intended use is for treating joint conditions. IVDs are used for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening, not for surgical intervention.
  • There is no mention of analyzing biological samples. The device description focuses on the physical characteristics and function of the implant.

The device described is a surgical implant used for joint replacement.

Dear Ms. Stearns:

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.
