Intended Use
The HammerLock™ is indicated for small bone reconstruction and fusion such as inter-digital fusion of fingers and toes.
Device Description
The HammerLock™ is an addition to the OSSPlate™ line and is designed for use as an intramedullary bone fixation device. The OSSPlate™ is situated on the bone with the prongs extending through the cortex and in its final configuration the prongs are deflected inward to create a clamping force. With the HammerLock™ the device is situated in the intramedullary space with the prongs extending into the cancellous bone and in the final configuration the prongs are deflected outward to create a compressive force. Two models of the HammerLock™ are provided for physician choice, the HammerLock™ X-Type and HammerLock™ Loop. Both exhibit similar test results to the predicate devices. The HammerLock™ models transformed to their final configuration by body heat alone.

No
The summary describes a mechanical bone fixation device that transforms via body heat, with no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data analysis.

Yes
The device is used for bone reconstruction and fusion, which are therapeutic medical procedures.

No
The provided text describes the HammerLock™ as an intramedullary bone fixation device used for reconstruction and fusion, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical intramedullary bone fixation device made of material that transforms with body heat, indicating it is a hardware medical device.

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, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body (in vitro).
  • HammerLock™ Description: The description clearly states the HammerLock™ is an "intramedullary bone fixation device" used for "small bone reconstruction and fusion." It is implanted inside the body to fix bones.

The HammerLock™ is a surgical implant, not a diagnostic test performed on bodily fluids or tissues.

N/A

Intended Use / Indications for Use

The HammerLock™ is indicated for small bone reconstruction and fusion such as inter-digital fusion of fingers and toes.

The HammerLock™ is indicated for small bone reconstruction and fusion such as in the phalanges of the fingers and toes.

§ 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.
