Intended Use
1.) To fix in place small bony or chondral fragments in the knee and hand where such fragments are not in tension, as in the case of osteochondritis dissecans or fractures of the phalanges and metacarpals; 2.) For fixation of inherently stable osteotomies of the great toe and first metatarsal and intramedullary stabilization of joint arthroplasty (resection) for the treatment of lesser toe deformities. 3.) Used to provide additional support in cases of finger joint fusion and digit replantation where standard fixation or support techniques are also employed.
Device Description
Biomet OrthoSorb LS resorbable fixation devices include straight and tapered pins. Biomet OrthoSorb LS resorbable fixation devices are made of a resorbable copolymer, polyester derivative of L-lactic and glycolic acids. Poly L-lactic/polyglycolic acid copolymer degrades and resorbs in-vivo by hydrolysis into L-lactic and glycolic acids which are then metabolized by the body.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a resorbable fixation device made of a copolymer and focuses on its mechanical properties and intended surgical uses. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any data-driven analytical capabilities.

Yes.
The device is used to fix bony or chondral fragments and provide support in joint fusions, indicating it is intended for the treatment, mitigation, or prevention of disease or to affect the structure or function of the body, which aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device.

No

The device is a resorbable fixation device (pins) used to fix bone and chondral fragments or provide support in various orthopedic procedures. It is a treatment device, not one that gathers information about a patient's health condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is made of a resorbable copolymer and describes mechanical testing, indicating it is a physical implantable device, not software.

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 about a person's health.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The description and intended use clearly state that this device is a resorbable fixation device (pins) used to fix bone and cartilage fragments within the body during surgical procedures. It is an implantable medical device used for structural support and fixation.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological specimens, performing tests on samples outside the body, or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a surgical implant or fixation device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

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

Technological Characteristics: The technological characteristics of OrthoSorb LS are similar to currently marketed devices including design, dimensions, and material.

Summary of Substantial Equivalence: OrthoSorb LS is substantially equivalent to currently marketed devices demonstrated through mechanical testing that was performed to ASTM D6272, which highlights the method for flexural properties, specifically testing protocol four-point bending. Single Shear testing was also performed which represents a common loading condition observed invivo during which the bone pin is used to fix bony fragments No new issues of safety or efficacy have been raised.

§ 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.
