Intended Use
The HammerFiX device is indicated for the fixation of osteotomies and reconstruction of the lesser toes following correction procedures for hammertoe, claw toe and mallet toe.
Device Description
The HammerFiX device is a bone fixation device consisting of a sterile, threaded PEEK implant and a set of instruments used for implant site preparation and delivery. The device is offered in small, medium and large implant sizes to allow for use in the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joints of the lesser toes of the foot.
More Information

No
The description focuses on a mechanical bone fixation device and its instruments, with no mention of AI/ML terms, image processing, or data-driven performance metrics.

No
The device is described as a bone fixation device used for the fixation of osteotomies and reconstruction, not for therapeutic purposes like rehabilitation or pain management.

No

The HammerFiX device is described as a "bone fixation device" used for "fixation of osteotomies and reconstruction of the lesser toes." Its purpose is to physically fix bone rather than to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a bone fixation device consisting of a physical implant (PEEK) and instruments, indicating it is a hardware medical device.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • HammerFiX Function: The HammerFiX device is a surgical implant used for the physical fixation of bones during toe correction procedures. It is a medical device used in the body, not a test performed on a sample from the body.

The description clearly states it's a "bone fixation device consisting of a sterile, threaded PEEK implant" used for "fixation of osteotomies and reconstruction of the lesser toes." This is a description of a surgical implant, not an in vitro diagnostic test.

§ 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.
