No
The summary describes a mechanical implant for correcting foot deformities and includes performance testing related to strength, not data analysis or algorithmic processing. There are no mentions of AI, ML, image processing, or data sets.

Yes
The device is intended to assist in the correction of Hallux Valgus deformities, which is a therapeutic purpose.

No
The device description states its purpose is to assist in the correction of Hallux Valgus deformities, indicating a therapeutic or corrective function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description explicitly states it is made of Titanium and is designed to be implanted, indicating it is a physical hardware device, not software only.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This information is used for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • FastForward Device Function: The description clearly states the FastForward device is an implantable button designed to assist in the surgical correction of a Hallux Valgus deformity by providing mechanical reduction of the 1st Intermetatarsal angle. It is a physical device used in the body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body.

The information provided about the device's intended use, description, materials, and performance testing all point to it being a surgical implant, not an IVD.

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

Pullout/fracture strength testing of the predicate and proposed devices was conducted. The proposed device was evaluated in conjunction with various suture sizes and materials. Monotonic and cyclic tension and shear testing was completed on full constructs which included 185 metatarsal fixation. Testing and analysis substantiates the statement that the proposed device performs equivalently to the predicate device.

§ 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.

Dear Mr. Blair:

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.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical
