Intended Use
Biomet Reconstructive Wedges are intended to be used for internal bone fixation for bone structures, fusions or osteotomies in the ankle and foot, such as: - Open wedge osteotomies of Hallux Valgus . - Evans lengthening osteotomies . - Metatarsal/cuneiform arthrodesis . Biomet Reconstructive Wedges are intended for use with ancillary fixation. Biomet Reconstructive Wedges are not intended for use in the spine.
Device Description
Biomet Reconstructive Wedges are metallic blocks designed for insertion into voids for alignment of bones in the foot or ankle. There are two styles of wedges which are oval and rectangular in shape. Wedges are available in a variety of widths, lengths and thicknesses. Rectangular cut-out windows allow the surgeon to pack allograft within the device. The wedges are completely porous, to allow for tissue ingrowth. There is a "skin" of solid titanium on the outer edge of the component to facilitate the insertion instrument and allow for identifying part marking to be added to the devices.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical properties and material composition of the bone wedges, with no mention of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is described as an internal bone fixation device used for bone structures, fusions, or osteotomies in the ankle and foot, which directly treats or alleviates a medical condition.

No

Explanation: The device is a wedge used for internal bone fixation and alignment, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states that the device is a metallic block designed for insertion into voids for alignment of bones, indicating it is a physical hardware device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes the device as being used for internal bone fixation during surgical procedures in the ankle and foot. This is a surgical implant, not a device used to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment.
  • Device Description: The description details a metallic block designed for insertion into bone voids. This aligns with a surgical implant, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), using reagents, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory testing.

Therefore, the Biomet Reconstructive Wedges are a surgical device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 888.3030 Single/multiple component metallic bone fixation appliances and accessories.

(a)
Identification. Single/multiple component metallic bone fixation appliances and accessories are devices intended to be implanted consisting of one or more metallic components and their metallic fasteners. The devices contain a plate, a nail/plate combination, or a blade/plate combination that are made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, stainless steel, and titanium, that are intended to be held in position with fasteners, such as screws and nails, or bolts, nuts, and washers. These devices are used for fixation of fractures of the proximal or distal end of long bones, such as intracapsular, intertrochanteric, intercervical, supracondylar, or condylar fractures of the femur; for fusion of a joint; or for surgical procedures that involve cutting a bone. The devices may be implanted or attached through the skin so that a pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system.(b)
Classification. Class II.

Dear Ms. Beres:

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.

If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801), please go to http://www.fda.gov/AboutFDA/CentersOffices/CDRH/CDRHOffices/ucm115809.htm for the Center for Devices and Radiological Health's (CDRH's) Office of Compliance. Also, please note the regulation entitled. "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to
