The summary describes a mechanical screw system for bone fixation and delivery of bone void fillers, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.
No
The device is a medical device intended for the fixation of bone fractures and bone reconstructions. While it aids in healing by stabilizing bones, it does not directly treat a disease or condition in the way a therapeutic device for a disease would. It is a structural support and delivery system for bone void fillers.
No
The N-Force Fixation System is described as a screw system for the fixation of bone fractures and bone reconstructions, and for delivering bone void fillers; it does not mention any diagnostic capabilities.
No
The device description explicitly states that the N-Force Fixation System is a screw system fixation including physical components like screws and instruments made of titanium alloy. It is a hardware device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for the "fixation of bone fractures and bone reconstructions." This is a surgical procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
- Device Description: The device is a "screw system fixation" made of titanium alloy, designed to be implanted into bone. It can also be used to deliver bone void fillers to a surgical site.
- 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 compatibility testing.
IVD devices are used outside the body to analyze samples. This device is used inside the body for structural support and delivery of materials during surgery.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Testing was performed on the modified N-Force Screw compared to the predicate N-Force Screw, and the results demonstrate that it is substantially equivalent to the predicate device. Mechanical testing of the modified screw included static three-point bending, static torsion and extraction testing, Engineering analyses were also provided in support of the non-fenestrated screws' substantial equivalence. Additional testing was performed to demonstrate the substantial equivalence of the N-Force Fixation System to the ETEX recommended instruments with respect to their ability to deliver bone void filler material.

§ 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.

Reason for Special 510(k) Submission:
The purpose of this Special 510(k) is to add new sizes and components to the N-Force Fixation System. There have been no changes to the intended use of the device or its fundamental scientific technology.
Indications For Use:
The N-Force Fixation System is intended for the fixation of bone fractures and bone reconstructions. When used for these indications, the N-Force Fixation System can also be used to deliver the following bone void fillers to a surgical site:
- . Beta-bsm (ETEX Corporation)
- . CarriGen (ETEX Corporation)
Device Description:
The N-Force Fixation System is a screw system fixation. It includes fully and partially cannulated screws in various diameters and lengths, and accompanying instruments.
The N-Force Fixation System implants are made of titanium alloy (Ti-6A1-4V) conforming to ASTM F136. The N-Force Fixation System screws are cannulated and/or

fenestrated and can be used as a delivery system for ETEX Beta-bsm and ETEX CarriGen bone void fillers.
Predicate Device:
The modified N-Force Fixation System is substantially equivalent to the predicate N-Force Fixation System (K102528) with respect to indications, design, function, performance and materials.
Substantial Equivalence:
Testing was performed on the modified N-Force Screw compared to the predicate N-Force Screw, and the results demonstrate that it is substantially equivalent to the predicate device. Mechanical testing of the modified screw included static three-point bending, static torsion and extraction testing, Engineering analyses were also provided in support of the non-fenestrated screws' substantial equivalence. Additional testing was performed to demonstrate the substantial equivalence of the N-Force Fixation System to the ETEX recommended instruments with respect to their ability to deliver bone void filler material.

Dear Ms. McDonough:
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.
