Intended Use
The IFS Subtalar Implant is intended to treat hyperpronated foot and stabilize the subtalar joint. It is intended to block forward, downward and medial displacement of the talus, thus allowing normal subtalar joint motion but blocking excessive pronation and the resulting sequela.
Device Description
The IFS Subtalar Implant is a one-piece device made of Ti 6Al-4V ELI intended to be implanted into the sinus tarsi of the foot. The implant is designed in 6 diameter and length sizes (7mm through 12mm and 13mm through 18mm, respectively). The implant which is used in the treatment of excessive motion of the talus relative to the calcaneus acts as a spacer for the joint, maintaining the joint space, allowing for range of motion, but limiting excessive pronation.
More Information

No
The 510(k) summary describes a mechanical implant and does not mention any software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.

Yes
The device is intended to treat a medical condition (hyperpronated foot and excessive pronation) and stabilize a joint, which falls under the definition of a therapeutic device designed to alleviate or treat a disease or condition.

No
The device is described as an implant intended to treat hyperpronated foot by stabilizing the subtalar joint and blocking excessive pronation. Its purpose is therapeutic, not diagnostic.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical implant made of Ti 6Al-4V ELI, intended to be surgically implanted. This is a hardware device, not software.

Based on the provided information, 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.
  • Device Description: The IFS Subtalar Implant is a physical implant made of Ti 6Al-4V ELI that is surgically placed into the sinus tarsi of the foot.
  • Intended Use: Its intended use is to treat hyperpronated foot and stabilize the subtalar joint by physically blocking excessive motion.

The device does not perform any tests on biological samples. It is a physical implant used for structural support and stabilization within the body.

§ 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.
