Intended Use
CAS Fixation Pins from Zimmer CAS are intended for use as temporary bone fixation pins to attach orthopedic surgical instruments to bones in order to allow referencing their relative locations as required in the use of computer assisted surgery systems. Their specific uses and indications including their method of use and attachment sites are as specified in the computer assisted surgery system that involves their use.
Device Description
CAS Fixation Pins are threaded bone pins similar to Steinmann pins. They are used to temporarily fixate locational reference instruments to bones in order to reference their location in Computer Assisted Surgery (CAS) systems.

No
The summary describes a physical device (fixation pins) used in conjunction with computer-assisted surgery systems, but there is no mention of AI or ML being incorporated into the pins themselves or the described function. The "computer assisted surgery systems" are mentioned as the context for the pins' use, but the summary does not detail the technology within those systems.

No.
The device is described as temporary bone fixation pins used to attach orthopedic surgical instruments to bones for referencing locations in computer-assisted surgery systems, not for treating a disease or condition.

No

The device description indicates that CAS Fixation Pins are used as temporary bone fixation pins to attach orthopedic surgical instruments for location referencing in computer-assisted surgery systems. This function is for guiding surgical procedures, not for diagnosing a condition or disease.

No

The device description explicitly states that the device is "threaded bone pins similar to Steinmann pins," which are physical hardware components.

Based on the provided information, the CAS Fixation Pins from Zimmer CAS are not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

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.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The description clearly states that these pins are used for temporary bone fixation to attach surgical instruments for computer assisted surgery. They are physically inserted into bone.
  • Lack of Biological Sample Analysis: There is no mention of the device analyzing any biological samples from the patient. Its function is purely mechanical and related to surgical navigation.

Therefore, the CAS Fixation Pins fall under the category of a surgical instrument or accessory, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Contact Person: Christopher McLean

Date Summary Prepared: March 1, 2010

Device Trade Name: CAS Fixation Pins

Device Classification Name: Stereotaxic Instrument (84 HAW); 21 CFR § 882.4560

Predicate Device:

Navitrack System – Partial Hip Resurfacing Universal from Zimmer CAS (transferred from Orthosoft Inc.), 510(k) # K071929 -

Device Description:

CAS Fixation Pins are threaded bone pins similar to Steinmann pins. They are used to temporarily fixate locational reference instruments to bones in order to reference their location in Computer Assisted Surgery (CAS) systems.

Indications for Use / Intended Use:

CAS Fixation Pins from Zimmer CAS are intended for use as temporary bone fixation pins to attach orthopedic surgical instruments to bones in order to allow referencing their relative locations as required in the use of computer assisted surgery systems. Their specific uses and indications including their method of use and attachment sites are as specified in the computer assisted surgery system that involves their use.

Technological Comparisons to the Predicates:

The difference between the proposed and predicate pins is that the proposed pins will be provided sterile packaged while the predicate ones are provided non-sterile to be sterilized by the user facility. The proposed method of sterilization while the labeled user method for the predicate is the common steam sterilization cycle used in hospital settings. The proposed and predicate pins are otherwise identical.

Performance Data:

The proposed pin will be provided sterile using validated sterilization and packaging methods with an SAL of 10-9.

Conclusion:

The information and data provided in this 510(k) Premarket Notification established that the proposed CAS Fixation Pins are substantially equivalent to the fixation pins of the predicate.

Dear Mr. McLean:

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.
