The summary describes a mechanical implant device and its components, with no mention of software, algorithms, or any technology related to AI or ML. The performance studies focus on mechanical testing.
No.
The devices are indicated for fixation during the healing process following trauma, providing mechanical support rather than a biological or physiological effect; therefore, they are not considered therapeutic devices.
No
The device is described as an implant assembly construct intended to aid in the reconstruction of bones, providing fixation during the healing process following trauma. It is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description clearly states that the device is an "implant assembly constructs of metallic buttons and non-absorbable suture," indicating it is a physical hardware device, not software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use/Indications for Use: The intended use clearly describes the device as an adjunct fixation device used in surgical repair of bones and soft tissues, specifically for syndesmosis and acromioclavicular separations. This is a therapeutic and structural function, not a diagnostic one.
- Device Description: The device is described as an implant assembly construct of metallic buttons and non-absorbable suture. This is a physical implant used to provide mechanical support and fixation.
- No mention of in vitro testing: There is no indication that this device is used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) outside of the body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies described are mechanical tensile testing to verify the strength of the implant construct, which is relevant to its structural function, not its diagnostic capability.
In summary, the OrthoHelixTM Syndesmosis Fixation Devices are surgical implants used for mechanical fixation, which falls under the category of medical devices, but not specifically In Vitro Diagnostic devices.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The OrthoHelixTM Syndesmosis Fixation Devices are indicated as adjunct fixation in repair involving metaphyseal and periarticular small bone fragments and surrounding soft-tissues where screws are not indicated and as an adjunct in external and intramedullary fixation systems involving plates and rods with fracture braces and casting. Specifically, the Syndesmosis Fixation Devices are intended to provide fixation during the healing process following a syndesmotic trauma such as fixation of ankle syndesmosis disruptions in connection with Weber B and C ankle fractures, as well as fixation of acromioclavicular separations due to coracoclavicular ligament disruptions.

Device Description
The OrthoHelixTM Syndesmosis Fixation Devices are implant assembly constructs of metallic buttons and non-absorbable suture intended to aid in the reconstruction of bones in the hand, wrist, elbow, shoulder, foot, and ankle, particularly in the reconstruction of the syndesmosis joint in the ankle and the AC joint in the shoulder. The syndesmosis devices are offered in different configurations, one to be used with and one to be used without a plate. All metallic implant components are manufactured from titanium alloy. All suture implant components are UHMWPE non-absorbable suture.

Summary of Performance Studies
In order to demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate devices that have the same intended uses, mechanical tensile testing was performed. This testing was used to verify the strength of the implant construct, including the suture and button design and the interaction between the assembly components.

§ 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.

| Class II per 21 CFR 888.3030 | |
| Panel: Orthopedic, Product Code: HTN | |
| Material Composition: | Titanium Alloy and UHMWPE Suture |
| Device Description: | The OrthoHelixTM Syndesmosis Fixation Devices are implant assembly constructs of metallic |
| buttons and non-absorbable suture intended to aid in the reconstruction of bones in the hand, wrist, | |
| elbow, shoulder, foot, and ankle, particularly in the reconstruction of the syndesmosis joint in the | |
| ankle and the AC joint in the shoulder. The syndesmosis devices are offered in different | |
| configurations, one to be used with and one to be used without a plate. All metallic implant | |
| components are manufactured from titanium alloy. All suture implant components are UHMWPE | |
| non-absorbable suture. | |
| Intended Use: | The OrthoHelixTM Syndesmosis Fixation Devices are indicated as adjunct fixation in repair |
| involving metaphyseal and periarticular small bone fragments and surrounding soft-tissues where | |
| screws are not indicated and as an adjunct in external and intramedullary fixation systems involving | |
| plates and rods with fracture braces and casting. Specifically, the Syndesmosis Fixation Devices | |
| are intended to provide fixation during the healing process following a syndesmotic trauma such as | |
| fixation of ankle syndesmosis disruptions in connection with Weber B and C ankle fractures, as | |
| well as fixation of acromioclavicular separations due to coracoclavicular ligament disruptions. | |
| Substantial Equivalence: | The new OrthoHelixTM Syndesmosis Fixation Devices are substantially equivalent to the |
| OrthoHelix MaxLock ExtremeTM System (K123203). the Teleflex Force Fiber® Polyethylene Non- | |
| Absorbable Surgical Suture (K063778), the Arthrex TightRopeTM Syndesmosis Device (K043248), | |
| the Arthrex TightRopeTM Acromioclavicular (AC) Device (K052776), and the Biomet | |
| ToggleLocTM System (K083070). The indications of the OrthoHelix Syndesmosis Fixation Devices | |
| differ from some of the predicate devices. The indications of the new OrthoHelix Syndesmosis | |
| Fixation Devices do not introduce any new applications or intended uses than the predicates, but | |
| rather fit within the scope of use of the predicate devices. Therefore, no new issues of safety and | |
| effectiveness are raised with respect to intended indications. | |
| The metallic components of the OrthoHelixTM Syndesmosis Fixation Devices conform to ASTM | |
| F136 Standard Specification for Wrought Titanium-6Aluminum-4Vanadium ELI Alloy for and | |
| Surgical Implant Applications. The implant suture conforms to USP 30- Absorbable Surgical | |
| Sutures for Knot Pull Tensile Strength, Needle Attachment and Diameter. | |
| In order to demonstrate substantial equivalence to the predicate devices that have the same | |
| intended uses, mechanical tensile testing was performed. This testing was used to verify the | |
| strength of the implant construct, including the suture and button design and the interaction | |
| between the assembly components. The new OrthoHelix devices use a similar mechanism as the | |
| Arthrex and Biomet predicate devices: two metallic buttons connected via implantable suture. The | |
| surface area, shape, and hole diameters of the buttons differ. The implantable suture for the | |
| OrthoHelix differs from the predicates in either size or material. The design differences were | |
| verified via mechanical testing to confirm that no new issues of safety and effectiveness have been | |
| raised with respect to the strength of the device. |
