Intended Use
The Speed Shift™ is indicated for: Fracture and osteotomy fixation and joint arthrodesis of the hand and foot.
Device Description
The Speed Shift™ is a nitinol implant that comes in a range of sizes and models for use in extremity bone fragment fixation, osteotomy fixation, and joint arthrodesis. The implant is delivered to the operating room in an "open" martensitic state. The implant is then transformed by ambient and body heat after insertion, and contracts to a "closed" austenitic state. The implants do not require any external heating; they are completely transformed by body heat. This configuration change for the Speed Shift™ consists of a step bend of the staple back where the bend is in line with the legs of the staple rather than perpendicular to the legs as in the predicate devices. This in line bend allows Speed Shift™ to be useful for step osteotomies such as in the calcaneal slide procedure and other various mid-foot procedures reducing the prominence of the staple back after implantation as compared to the predicate devices.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the material properties (nitinol) and mechanical design of the implant, with no mention of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is indicated for fracture and osteotomy fixation and joint arthrodesis, which are therapeutic interventions.

No

The device is described as an implant for fracture and osteotomy fixation and joint arthrodesis, which are therapeutic functions, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description clearly states that the Speed Shift™ is a nitinol implant, which is a physical hardware component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "Fracture and osteotomy fixation and joint arthrodesis of the hand and foot." This describes a surgical implant used to physically stabilize bones and joints.
  • Device Description: The description details a nitinol implant that changes shape with body heat to provide fixation. This is a mechanical device used within the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVD devices are used in vitro (outside the body) to analyze biological samples. This device is used in vivo (inside the body) for structural support.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Standard ASTM F564-10 (2010) was used to compare the pull-out strength of the new Speed Shift™ to the predicatc OSStaple™. Specimens of the largest and smallest sizes of the Speed Shift"M were used and compared to a comparably sized predicate OSStaple™M. The results showed that the Specd Shift™ has higher pull-out resistance than the predicate OSStaple™ Standard ASTM F564-10 (2010) was used to compare the mechanical strength ™. The results showed that the Speed Shift™ achieve greater bending strength when compared to the predicate OSStaple™. Standard ASTM F2129-08 was used to compare the corrosion resistance of representative samples of the new Speed Shift™ to the predicate OSStaple™. Test results demonstrate the corrosion resistance is equivalent to the predicate OSStaple Chill™

§ 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.
