Intended Use
The Memometal Technologies' SubFix Arthroereisis Implant is intended to treat the hyperpronated foot and stabilize the subtalar joint. It is intended to block forward, downward and medial displacement of the talus, thus allowing subtalar joint motion but blocking excessive pronation and the resulting sequela. The SubFix Arthroereisis Implants are intended for single use only.
Device Description
The Memometal Implant is a one-piece device made of medical grade Titanium Alloy, Ti6A14V. The implant is available in 5 sizes ranging from 6.5 mm to 11.5 in diameter. No new materials or processes are used in the development of this implant.

No
The summary describes a mechanical implant made of titanium alloy. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or any technology that would suggest the use of AI or ML. The performance studies rely on engineering analysis and material comparison, not data-driven algorithmic evaluation.

Yes.
The device is intended to treat a medical condition (hyperpronated foot and subtalar joint instability) by blocking excessive pronation, which is a therapeutic action.

No
The device is described as an implant intended to treat a physical condition (hyperpronated foot and stabilize the subtalar joint) by blocking displacement, rather than diagnosing a condition.

No

The device description explicitly states the device is a one-piece implant made of medical grade Titanium Alloy, indicating it is a physical hardware device, not software.

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, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. These tests are performed outside of the body (in vitro).
  • Device Description: The provided description clearly states that the Memometal Technologies' SubFix Arthroereisis Implant is an implantable device made of titanium alloy, intended to be surgically placed in the sinus tarsi of the foot.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to treat a physical condition (hyperpronated foot) by stabilizing a joint within the body.

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

§ 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.

Indications for Use:

The Memometal Technologies' SubFix Arthroereisis Implant is intended to treat the hyperpronated foot and stabilize the subtalar joint. It is intended to block forward, downward and medial displacement of the talus, thus blocking excessive pronation and the resulting sequela.

The SubFix Arthroereisis Implants are intended for single use only.

Comparison to Predicate Device:

The Memometal device has numerous similarities to the predicate devices which are summarized here. The SubFix device and predicate devices K960692 KMI Subtalar MBA® Arthroereisis Implant (now owned by Intregra) and K031155 Osteomed Talar-Fit™ Subtalar Arthroereisis Implant have the same indications for use and share technical characteristics of being cannulated, threaded screw implants. Each device is placed into the sinus tarsi of the foot, allowing subtalar joint motion while blocking excessive pronation. Most systems are cannulated for ease of implantation. The SubFix device and predicate device K032902 Nexa Orthopedics. INC Subtalar are comparably sized. The SubFix device and predicate devices K041289 Arthroereisis Implant Talus of Vilex (TOV) K080280 Instratek, Inc. Sub-Talar Lok, Model 7-11 mm have similar characteristics of being is titanium color anodized.

Performance Data:

An engineering analysis and a material comparison to various predicate devices were used to help demonstrate equivalence.

Summary:

The Memometal device and the predicate devices have the similar design characteristics and intended use. The new device is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices and should not introduce new concerns in terms of safety or effectiveness.

Dear Mr. Audic:

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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to 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); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); 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.
