Intended Use
The Solana Surgical LLC, Gaitway Implant System is intended to treat the hyperpronated foot and stabilize the subtalar joint. It is intended to block forward and medial displacement of the talus, thus blocking excessive pronation and the resulting sequela.
Device Description
The Solana Surgical Gaitway Implant is a one-piece device made of Titanium Alloy intended to be implanted in the Sinus Tarsi of the foot. The implant is available in a range of sizes (5) ranging from 6.5 mm to 11.5 mm. The design of the Solana Surgical implant is similar to the predicate devices. No new materials or processes are used in the production of this implant.

No
The summary describes a physical implant and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing related to AI/ML.

Yes
The device is intended to treat a medical condition (hyperpronated foot and stabilize the subtalar joint) and block forward and medial displacement of the talus, which are therapeutic actions.

No

Explanation: The device is an implant designed to treat a medical condition (hyperpronated foot and subtalar joint instability) by surgical implantation, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "one-piece device made of Titanium Alloy intended to be implanted," indicating it is a physical implant, not software.

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, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description: The Solana Surgical Gaitway Implant System is a physical implant made of titanium alloy that is surgically placed in the foot. It directly interacts with the body's structure.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to treat a physical condition (hyperpronated foot) by stabilizing a joint through surgical implantation.

The description clearly indicates a surgically implanted device used for structural support and correction within the body, which is the opposite of an in vitro diagnostic device that analyzes samples outside 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.

Device Description:

The Solana Surgical Gaitway Implant is a one-piece device made of Titanium Alloy intended to be implanted in the Sinus Tarsi of the foot. The implant is available in a range of sizes (5) ranging from 6.5 mm to 11.5 mm. The design of the Solana Surgical implant is similar to the predicate devices.

The Solana Surgical LLC, Gaitway Implant System is intended to treat the hyperpronated foot and stabilize the subtalar joint. It is intended to block forward and medial displacement of the talus, thus blocking excessive pronation and the resulting sequela.

Summary Comparison to Predicate Devices:

The Solana Surgical device is similar to the Memometal Subfix™ Subtalar Arthroereisis Implant (K093820), the Instratek, Inc. Sub-Talar Lok, Model 7-11 mm (K080280) and the Arthrex Pro Stop Plus (K071456). Each device is placed into the sinus tarsi of the foot, allowing normal subtalar joint motion while blocking excessive pronation. The Memometal and Instratek devices are made of titanium alloy and the Arthrex device is made of Poly L - Lactide (PLLA). The Solana Surgical, Memometal, Instratek and Arthrex devices are conical in shape so as to fit into the anatomy of the sinus tarsi. Each system is cannulated to accept a guide wire for ease of Solana Surgical - October 18, 2012

implantation. All devices are: intended for single use only; intended for surgical implantation longer than 30 days; are placed into the subtalar sinus tarsi.

Indications for use, geometry and material composition were considered in evaluating safety and effectiveness relative to predicate devices. The subject device is constructed of material that is identical to the Memometal and Instratek devices and greatly exceeds the mechanical strength characteristics of the Arthrex device. Given the similar geometry and equivalent or greater strength, the Solana Surgical device should not introduce new concerns of safety or effectiveness.
