Device Description
The aap Wire Bone Portfolio consists of K-Wires, Steinmann Pin and Cerclage Wire. The devices have to be used as implants for the fixation of bone fractures, fusion of joints or bone reconstructions or as guide pins for insertion of other implants and are offered in a variety of lengths, diameters, tip styles, and threading. The devices are made of either Titanium alloy or implant stainless steel. The devices are delivered non-sterile and have to be sterilized before use. After fracture healing the implants have to be removed. The aap Wire Bone Portfolio consists of: • K-wire with trocar point, ø0.8 mm - ø3.0 mm, 60 mm - 430 mm • K-wire with thread and trocar point, ø0.8 mm - ø3.0 mm; 45 mm - 380 mm • K-wire with 2 trocar points, ø0.8 mm - ø3.0 mm; 70 mm - 310 mm • Steinmann pin trocar, 3-flat end ø2.5 mm - ø6.0 mm; 120 mm - 350 mm • Cerclage wire with eye, soft, ø0.8 mm - ø1.2 mm; 280 mm - 600 mm Cerclage wire soft, coil, ø0.8 mm - ø1.5 mm, 10 m .
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the physical properties and equivalence to predicate devices, with no mention of AI or ML.

No.
The devices are described as implants for fixation, guide pins, and accessories for external fixation, which are structural and mechanical functions to aid healing or surgery, rather than directly providing a therapeutic effect on a disease or condition.

No

The device description indicates that the wires are used as implants for fixation of bone fractures, fusion of joints, or bone reconstructions, or as guide pins for insertion of other implants. These are therapeutic and surgical functions, not diagnostic.

No

The device description clearly states the device is a portfolio of physical wires (K-Wires, Steinmann Pins, Cerclage Wires) made of Titanium alloy or implant stainless steel, intended for use as implants. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The description clearly states that these devices are implants used for the fixation of bone fractures, fusion of joints, bone reconstructions, or as guide pins for inserting other implants. They are physically inserted into the body.
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: There is no mention of analyzing any biological specimens from the patient.

Therefore, the function and application of these wire devices fall under the category of surgical implants and instruments, not in vitro diagnostics.

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

The non-clinical testing to be conducted on the aap Wire Bone will include material and dimensional verification. The aap Wire Bone are equivalent in physical dimensions and materials to the identified predicate devices. Testing, therefore, is not needed to demonstrate that the subject devices are substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate devices.
Documentation with respect to performance data to show the substantial equivalence and safety and effectiveness has been provided with this submission.

§ 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.

Dear Dr. Zietsch:

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. Isting 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 (OS) 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 contact the Division of Small Manufacturers, International and Consumer Assistance at its tollfree number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 796-7100 or at its Internet address

http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/ResourcesforYou/Industry/default.htm. 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
