Intended Use
The Ellipse PRECICE Trauma Nail System is indicated for closed fracture fixation, pseudoarthrosis, or mal-unions and non-unions of long bones.
Device Description
The Ellipse PRECICE Trauma Nail System is composed of a modular implantable intramedullary rod ("Distracting Rod"), locking screws, an external remote controller (ERC), and surgical implantation tools and accessories. The modular implantable in different configurations, lengths, and diameters to accommodate a variety of patient anatomies. Likewise, the locking screws are available in two different diameters and a variety of lengths from 20 mm to 75 mm in 5 mm increments. The distracting rod is a modular system that includes the PRECICE Actuator component and various configurations of PRECICE Extension Rods. The PRECICE Actuator includes an enclosed rare earth magnet, telescoping lead screw/nut assembly and gearing. The PRECICE Actuator is supplied sterile by gamma sterilization while the PRECICE Extension Rods, locking screws, and reusable accessories are supplied non-sterile and must be sterilized prior to use. The External Remote Controller (ERC) is a non-invasive adjustment component of the system. The ERC is electrically powered and is used for non-invasive lengthening of the implanted rod.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on mechanical components and an external remote controller for non-invasive lengthening, with no mention of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is used for fracture fixation, pseudoarthrosis, or mal-unions and non-unions of long bones, which are medical conditions that restore function to a diseased or injured body part.

No

This device is a trauma nail system for fracture fixation and lengthening of bones, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description clearly outlines multiple hardware components including an implantable rod, locking screws, an external remote controller (ERC), and surgical tools. It is a system with both hardware and software (implied by the ERC's function).

Based on the provided information, the Ellipse PRECICE Trauma Nail System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "closed fracture fixation, pseudoarthrosis, or mal-unions and non-unions of long bones." This describes a surgical procedure to treat bone conditions, not a test performed on samples taken from the body to diagnose or monitor a medical condition.
  • Device Description: The device is an implantable intramedullary rod, locking screws, and an external controller used for mechanical lengthening. This is a medical device used for treatment, not for in vitro testing.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any components or processes related to analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis.

IVD devices are specifically designed to be used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. The Ellipse PRECICE Trauma Nail System is clearly an in vivo (within the body) device used for surgical treatment.

The Ellipse PRECICE Trauma Nail System is indicated for closed fracture fixation, pseudoarthrosis, or mal-unions and non-unions of long bones.

7. Substantial equivalence

Documentation demonstrates substantial equivalence to the following devices:

  • Ellipse PRECICE Intramedullary Limb Lengthening System (K101997) .
  • . Synthes Distraction Osteogenesis Ring System (K092190)
  • Smith and Nephew Trigen Meta-Nail Femoral and Tibial (K061019) .

The purpose of this premarket notification is to provide labeling for this system for use in fracture fixation of long bones. Specifically, the following indication is included in the instructions for use:

The Ellipse PRECICE Trauma Nail System is indicated for closed fracture fixation, pseudoarthrosis, or mal-unions and non-unions of long bones.

Substantial equivalence is based on similar indications for use to both the Smith and Nephew Trigen Meta-Nail and Synthes Distraction Osteogenesis Ring System predicate devices and similar technological characteristics to the Ellipse PRECICE IMLL System, Smith and Nephew Trigen Meta-Nail and Synthes Distraction Osteogenesis Ring System predicates.

The Ellipse PRECICE Trauma Nail System is identical to the Ellipse PRECICE IMLL System, with the exception that the Ellipse PRECICE Trauma Nail is provided extended by approximately 10 mm to allow for compression fracture fixation techniques. Specifically, the Ellipse PRECICE Trauma Nail System and the Ellipse PRECICE IMLL System are both designed to be implanted into the medullary canal of the long bones. These devices are available in a variety of geometrical configurations and diameters and lengths to accommodate a variety of
