Intended Use
The Speed Triad is indicated for: Fracture and osteotomy fixation and joint arthrodesis of the hand and foot.
Device Description
The Speed Triad is a nitinol implant that comes in a range of sizes for use in extremity bone fragment fixation, osteotomy fixation, and joint arthrodesis of the hand and foot. The implant is delivered to the operating room in an "open" state in a constraining plastic inserter. The implant is then released from the inserter and transformed by ambient temperature and body heat after insertion, and contracts to a "closed" and compressive state. The implants do not require any external heating; they are completely transformed at room temperature. The Speed Triad incorporates design changes from the Speed Shift. The design is changed to include a third leg to provide additional fixation. Importantly, the Speed Triad uses the same raw material as the predicate Speed Shift and the same manufacturing process (heat treatment, surface treatment, and passivation).

No
The description focuses on the material properties (nitinol), mechanical design (three legs), and manufacturing process. There is no mention of any software, algorithms, or data processing that would suggest AI/ML.

Yes
The device is described as an implant used for "fracture and osteotomy fixation and joint arthrodesis of the hand and foot," which are therapeutic interventions.

No
The device, Speed Triad, is an implant used for fracture and osteotomy fixation and joint arthrodesis. It is a therapy device, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly states it is a nitinol implant, which is a physical hardware component. The summary focuses on the material, design, and mechanical properties of this implant.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "Fracture and osteotomy fixation and joint arthrodesis of the hand and foot." This describes a surgical procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is a "nitinol implant" used for "extremity bone fragment fixation, osteotomy fixation, and joint arthrodesis." This is a physical implant placed within the body.
  • 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. This device does not perform any such testing.

The device is a surgical implant used for structural support and fixation within the body, not for diagnostic testing of biological samples.

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

Performance Bench Testing: Standard ASTM F564-10 (2010) was used to compare the pull-out strength of the Speed Triad to the predicate OSSplate. Specimens of all three sizes of the Speed Triad were used and compared to a comparably sized predicate OSSplate. The results showed that the Speed Triad has substantially equivalent pull-out resistance than the predicate OSSplate implant. Standard ASTM F564-10 (2010) was used to compare the mechanical strength of the new Speed Triad to the predicate OSSplate. Specimens of all three sizes of the Speed Triad were used and compared to a similar sized predicate OSSplate. The results showed that the Speed Triad implants achieved substantially equivalent bending stiffness when compared to the predicate OSSplate. Standard ASTM F2129-08 was used to compare the corrosion resistance of representative samples of the new Speed Triad to the predicate OSSplate. We also have used a secondary predicate for corrosion resistance, the SmartToe (K070598). Test results demonstrate the substantially equivalent corrosion resistance of the Speed Triad compared to the predicate OSSplate and SmartToe.

§ 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.

Classification:Class II ·
Product Code:JDR
Common/Usual Name:Bone Staple
Proprietary Name:Speed Triad

Intended Use:

The Speed Triad is indicated for:

Fracture and osteotomy fixation and joint arthrodesis of the hand and foot.

Substantial Equivalence:

The Speed Triad is substantially equivalent to the predicate BME Speed Shift™ cleared in K124022, predicate OSSplate™ cleared in K993714, labeled as the Memograph® Staple, and predicate K070598 (SmartToe). The K993714 predicate also includes an intended use of fixation of proximal tibial metaphysis osteotomy and fixation of soft tissue to bone (anterior cruciate reconstruction) which is not included in this submission.

Device Description:

The Speed Triad is a nitinol implant that comes in a range of sizes for use in extremity bone fragment fixation, osteotomy fixation, and joint arthrodesis of the hand and foot. The implant is delivered to the operating room in an "open" state in a constraining plastic inserter. The implant is then released from the inserter and transformed by ambient temperature and body heat after insertion, and contracts to a "closed" and compressive state. The implants do not require any external heating; they are completely transformed at room temperature.

The Speed Triad incorporates design changes from the Speed Shift. The design is changed to include a third leg to provide additional fixation. Importantly, the Speed Triad uses the same raw material as the predicate Speed Shift and the same manufacturing process (heat treatment, surface treatment, and passivation).

A second predicate is used for comparison of mechanical and corrosion properties of the Speed Triad. Because the Speed Triad implants are more similar shaped to the predicate OSSplate implants than the Speed Shift implants, BME has used the OSSplate to show substantial mechanical and corrosion resistance equivalence to a similar-sized implant.

The table below summarizes the technological characteristics of the Speed Triad and the predicate devices.

Dear Mr. Soward:

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.
