Intended Use
The Arthrex Mixing and Delivery System is indicated for the delivery of allograft, autograft, or synthetic bone graft materials to all orthopedic surgical sites. In addition, it is designed to facilitate pre-mixing of allograft, autograft, or synthetic bone graft materials with I.V. fluids, blood, plasma, platelet rich plasma, bone marrow or other specific blood component(s) as deemed necessary by the clinical use requirements.
Device Description
The Arthrex Mixing and Delivery System consists of a piston syringe with a movable plunger and cap to facilitate mixing and delivery; straight and curved (tuohy) delivery needles; a mating obturator for delivery needles; luer connectors; and a funnel to facilitate filling of the syringe barrel. The system will be offered with either a 3mL or 14 mL syringe barrel and may be provided either empty or pre-filled with allograft, autograft, or synthetic bone graft materials.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and intended use focus on mechanical mixing and delivery of bone graft materials, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" field is explicitly marked as "Not Found".

No
The device is described as a system for mixing and delivering bone graft materials, not for treating a disease or condition itself. While it facilitates a surgical procedure, it does not directly exert a therapeutic effect on the body. Its function is to prepare and deliver substances that may be therapeutic.

No
Explanation: The device is indicated for the delivery and mixing of bone graft materials, not for diagnosing any medical condition.

No

The device description explicitly lists physical components such as syringes, needles, obturators, luer connectors, and a funnel, indicating it is a hardware-based medical device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the delivery and mixing of bone graft materials for orthopedic surgical sites. This is a surgical tool used in vivo (within the body) during a procedure.
  • Device Description: The device components (syringe, needles, connectors, funnel) are consistent with a system for preparing and delivering materials directly to a surgical site.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device being used to test samples (blood, tissue, etc.) in vitro (outside the body) to diagnose a condition, monitor a disease, or screen for a health issue.

IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for diagnostic purposes. This device's function is purely for the preparation and delivery of materials during surgery.

Dear Ms. Flores:

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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
