Intended Use
Stabilization of fractures & Osteotomy Bone deformity correction of lower extremities Arthrodesis of the rear foot, mid foot, and ankle joint. Limb lengthening in pediatric and adults.
Device Description
The Fusion Medical Ring Lock system is a Circular Frame and Footplate system, used in lower extremity Stabilization and Deformity Correction. Wires are placed in the bone and attached to the frame with wire fixation bolts. The wires are then tensioned to support the bone. Rings are made of aluminum 6061 T6. Posts are used to capture wires that are elevated off the frame. Posts are made of 17-4 PH stainless steel. Washers are used to fine tune the elevation, and hinges are used for gradual correction of bone.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description focuses on mechanical components and their function in bone stabilization and correction. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data-driven analysis in the provided text.

Yes
The device is used for stabilization of fractures, deformity correction, arthrodesis, and limb lengthening, which are all therapeutic interventions.

No

The device description and intended use indicate it is an orthopedic fixation system used for surgical procedures like fracture stabilization and deformity correction, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly outlines physical components made of aluminum and stainless steel (rings, posts, washers, hinges), indicating it is a hardware-based medical device, not software-only.

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 information is used for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The provided description clearly states the device is a "Circular Frame and Footplate system" used for "Stabilization of fractures & Osteotomy Bone deformity correction of lower extremities Arthrodesis of the rear foot, mid foot, and ankle joint. Limb lengthening in pediatric and adults." This involves physically interacting with and supporting bone structures within the body.
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: There is no mention of the device analyzing any biological specimens. Its function is purely mechanical and structural.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the Fusion Medical Ring Lock system is a surgical device used for orthopedic procedures, not an IVD.

§ 888.3030 Single/multiple component metallic bone fixation appliances and accessories.

(a)
Identification. Single/multiple component metallic bone fixation appliances and accessories are devices intended to be implanted consisting of one or more metallic components and their metallic fasteners. The devices contain a plate, a nail/plate combination, or a blade/plate combination that are made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, stainless steel, and titanium, that are intended to be held in position with fasteners, such as screws and nails, or bolts, nuts, and washers. These devices are used for fixation of fractures of the proximal or distal end of long bones, such as intracapsular, intertrochanteric, intercervical, supracondylar, or condylar fractures of the femur; for fusion of a joint; or for surgical procedures that involve cutting a bone. The devices may be implanted or attached through the skin so that a pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system.(b)
Classification. Class II.

Technological Characteristics:

The technological characteristics between the Vilex Frame (K052196) and the Fusion Frame are identical, the only design difference is our tabs on the rings have 3 holes; Vilex has 2 holes on their tabs. Both are made from the same material, aluminum alloy. The Vilex Frame has the same sizes as the Fusion Frame: 140mm, 160mm, 180mm, and 205mm. Rods are the same material and length, as are other components. The Vilex xfix frame has the same indication for use.

Summary of Testing:

Cross sectional engineering analysis shows the Fusion Medical Ring Lock system is equivalent to the Vilex Frame. There was no change to the design or size to decrease structural strengths in the rings or components and their material.

Conclusion:

Fusion Medical Ring Lock System is equivalent to devices already marketed for the same indications.
