Intended Use
The ENDO-FUSE® Intra-Osseous Fusion System Rods are generally indicated for the reduction and fixation of fractures appropriate for the size of the devices. They are indicated for use in the internal fixation of fractures, boney fusion, and non-unions. They are also indicated for reconstructive procedures where reduction and fixation of bone fragments are required (e.g. osteotomies.) The ENDO-FUSE® Intra-Osseous Fusion System Beams are indicated for lateral column lengthening and for fusions of any joint in the foot/ankle appropriate for the size of the device, including tarso-metatarsal, metatarsal-cuneiform, calcaneal-cuboid, talo-navicular, LisFranc, Four-Corner, subtalar, and ankle joint.
Device Description
The ENDO-FUSE® Intra-Osseous Fusion System consists of titanium alloy triangular-shaped rods and "barbell" shaped beams intended for surgical implantation within the bone to create fixation. The rods are available in various lengths and diameters and the beams in various widths and lengths. Both rods and beams are roughened with a coating of CP titanium plasma spray which is important for achieving fixation via an interference fit inside the bone.

No
The summary describes a mechanical implant for bone fixation and fusion. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or any technology that would typically incorporate AI/ML. The performance studies focus on mechanical properties and insertion/distraction resistance, not algorithmic performance.

Yes.

Explanation: The device is indicated for medical purposes such as the "reduction and fixation of fractures," "boney fusion," "non-unions," and "reconstructive procedures." These are all therapeutic actions aimed at treating a medical condition.

No

Explanation: This device is described as an intra-osseous fusion system for fracture reduction, fixation, and reconstructive procedures. Its function is to provide structural support and aid in bone fusion, not to diagnose medical conditions or diseases.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of titanium alloy rods and beams intended for surgical implantation, which are hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a device for the internal fixation of fractures, boney fusion, and non-unions and reconstructive procedures within the foot and ankle. This involves surgical implantation to provide structural support and promote healing of bone.
  • Device Description: The device is described as titanium alloy triangular-shaped rods and "barbell" shaped beams intended for surgical implantation within the bone. This is a description of a surgical implant, not a device used to examine specimens from the human body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to test or analyze samples (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) from the human body to provide information about a person's health status, diagnose a condition, or monitor treatment.

IVD devices are used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens. This device is used in vivo (inside the body) as a surgical implant.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

  • Mechanical Property Testing of Plasma Spray Coating . Static shear strength testing per ASTM F1044, shear fatigue strength testing per ASTM F1160, and static tensile testing per ASTM F1147 were performed on worst-case coated test coupons. All test specimens passed, per the pre-defined acceptance criteria.
  • Fatigue Testing .
    Four-point bending fatigue testing was conducted on worst-case subject devices and compared to FDA-cleared devices. Results indicated that the subject devices were able to withstand higher cyclic loads than the predicate, and the acceptance criterion was met.
  • Cadaveric Rod Insertion Testing .
    Rod insertion testing was performed to investigate whether or not any clinically relevant distraction of the distal bone/fracture fragment occurs during rod insertion. The implantation results after insertion were deemed acceptable per the pre-defined acceptance criteria.
    Cadaveric and Mechanical Beam Distraction Resistance Testing . Beam distraction resistance testing was performed on subject and predicate devices to show that the subject device could effectively prevent distraction of opposing bones after implantation. The subject device experienced greater distraction resistance than the predicate, and the acceptance criterion was met.

§ 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)
