Intended Use
The ARIX Foot System is intended for use in internal fixation, reconstruction, or arthrodesis of small bones including the fore, mid- and hind foot and ankle. Examples of these procedures may include but are not limited to replantation, lag screw techniques, joint fusions, corrective osteotomies, and the treatment of fractures.
Device Description
The ARIX Foot System is rigid fixation consisting of plates and screws in various configurations, shapes and sizes. The ARIX Foot System is made of Unalloyed Titanium and Titanium Alloy (Ti-6AL-4V), which meet ASTM F67 and ASTM F136. The plates vary essentially through different lengths and number of plate holes. The screws are self-tapping with various diameters. The Cortical Screws & locking screws are provided with diameter 2.8 mm to 3.5 mm and lengths from 8 mm to 50 mm, lag screws (Cannulated and Cannulated Headless Types) with diameters of 1.5 mm to 6.0 mm and lengths of 8 mm to 80 mm. It also includes various manual surgical instruments, such as guide pins, drill guides, drill bits and driver shafts, washers, drill sleeve, depth gauge, bender, cleaning stylet and handbody. The ARIX Foot System not provided sterile. It is required to be sterilized via autoclave method to reach a SAL of 10 by the hospital prior to surgery.
More Information

No
The device description focuses on mechanical components (plates, screws, instruments) and bench testing for structural integrity. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

No.
The ARIX Foot System is a rigid internal fixation device (plates and screws) used for orthopedic procedures such as reconstruction, arthrodesis, and fracture treatment, rather than providing direct therapy or treatment itself.

No
The ARIX Foot System is described as rigid fixation consisting of plates and screws intended for internal fixation, reconstruction, or arthrodesis. It is a surgical implant and instrumentation system, not a device designed to diagnose conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a system of rigid fixation consisting of plates, screws, and various manual surgical instruments made of titanium, which are physical 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, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • ARIX Foot System Function: The ARIX Foot System is a system of plates and screws intended for internal fixation, reconstruction, or arthrodesis of bones in the foot and ankle. It is a surgical implant used directly within the body to provide structural support and stability.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Testing: The description of the ARIX Foot System does not mention any function related to testing samples or providing diagnostic information. Its purpose is purely mechanical and structural within the body.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the ARIX Foot System is a surgical implant, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description

The ARIX Foot System is rigid fixation consisting of plates and screws in various configurations, shapes and sizes. The ARIX Foot System is made of Unalloyed Titanium and Titanium Alloy (Ti-6AL-4V), which meet ASTM F67, Standard Specification for Unalloyed Titanium for Surgical Implant Applications, and ASTM F136, Standard Specification for Wrought Titanium-6 Aluminum-4 Vanadium ELI (Extra Low Interstitial) Alloy for Surgical Implant Applications. The plates vary essentially through different lengths and number of plate holes. The screws are self-tapping with various diameters, which are applied with the reconstruction locking screws together. The Cortical Screws & locking screws are provided with diameter 2.8 mm to 3.5 mm and lengths from 8 mm to 50 mm, lag screws (Cannulated and Cannulated Headless Types) with diameters of 1.5 mm to 6.0 mm and lengths of 8 mm to 80 mm. It also includes various manual surgical instruments, such as guide pins, drill guides, drill bits and driver shafts, washers, drill sleeve, depth gauge, bender, cleaning stylet and handbody. The ARIX Foot System is not provided sterile. It is required to be sterilized via autoclave method to reach a SAL of 10 by the hospital prior to surgery. The sterilization method is presented in the instruction, which was validated per ISO 17665-1: 2006 Sterilization of health care products - Moist heat - Part 1: Requirements for the development, validation, and routine control of a sterilization process for medical devices. This device performance is not adversely affected by aging or storage conditions since this device is to be sterilized at the hospital before use and also to be single use.

§ 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.
