More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a mechanical staple system and its performance testing, with no mention of AI or ML.

Yes.
The device is used for fixation of fractures, fusions, and osteotomies in the hand and foot, which are therapeutic medical interventions.

No
The device is a system of staples used for fixation in the hand and foot, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly states it consists of physical staples made from a nickel titanium alloy, which are hardware components.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description: The OrthoHelix™ Staple System is a system of implantable staples made of nickel titanium alloy. These staples are used for fixation (holding things together) in the hand and foot during surgical procedures.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for fixation in the hand and foot including fractures, fusions, and osteotomies. This is a surgical intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample outside the body.

The information provided clearly describes a surgical implant used for structural support within the body, which is the opposite of 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 Mr. Hockett:

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.
