No
The description focuses on the material properties (NiTinol) and mechanical function of the device for fixation, with no mention of AI or ML.
Yes.
The device is intended for the fixation of osteotomies, arthrodesis of joints, and fixation of soft tissue to bone, all of which are medical procedures aimed at treating or alleviating a condition.
No
The InstaFix™ Shape Memory Fixation System is described as a set of dynamic compression implants used for fixation of osteotomies, arthrodesis, and fixation of soft tissue to bone. Its purpose is to physically stabilize bone fragments and tissues, rather than to diagnose medical conditions or diseases.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a set of dynamic compression implants made from shape memory metal (NiTinol staples) and includes physical components like drill guides, implant holders, and an accessory kit. This indicates it is a hardware medical device, not software-only.
No, 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. This information is used for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- InstaFix™ Function: The InstaFix™ Shape Memory Fixation System is a surgical implant used to physically fix bones and soft tissues within the body. It is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes surgical procedures for fixation and arthrodesis, not laboratory testing of specimens.
- Device Description: The description details the physical properties and function of a surgical implant made of NiTinol, not a device for analyzing biological samples.
The InstaFix™ system is a medical device, but it falls under the category of surgical implants or orthopedic devices, not In Vitro Diagnostics.

Device Description
InstaFix™ Shape Memory Fixation System is a set of dynamic compression implants made from shape memory metal nickel-titanium alloy called NiTinol. The staples are available in sizes 8mm to 30mm. The NiTinol construction causes the legs of the implant to deflect, thereby creating a compressive force across the site of fixation. InstaFix™ Shape Memory Fixation implants are advantageous to screws and plates in that they require less disruption of the surrounding bone for implantation and provide 'low-profile' fixation. The most important factor related to the use of NiTinol is its ability to maintain a compressive force across the site of fixation during the healing process. Each staple is packaged sterile along with the corresponding drill guide and implant holder. The one time use Accessory Kit and the Sizer Kit are packaged sterile to assist in the procedure. The Accessory Kit contains one drill and two locating pins. The Sizer Kit contains samples of the available staple sizes.

§ 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.

| 510(k) | Modified device |
| Indications for | |
| Use | InstaFix™ Shape Memory Fixation System is intended for use in: |
| Fixation of Osteotomies of the Hand, Foot and Tibia | |
| Arthrodesis of the Joints of the Hand and Foot | |
| Fixation of Soft Tissue to Bone, as in the case of the | |

| The Lower Extremity, such as the Tibia, Fibula and the | |
| Femur | |
| The Upper Torso, such as the Sternum and the Ribs | |
| Technological | |
| Characteristics | The InstaFix™ Shape Memory Fixation System implant is made of |
| the same Nitinol material as the predicate. The implant is single use | |
| and sterilized by gamma radiation, which is the same as the | |
| predicate. The accessories are single use versus reusable. The staple | |
| sizes available are the same as the predicate. |
All patient contact components are made from biocompatible
materials. This indicates that the components are safe for their
intended use. |
| Substantial
Equivalence | The InstaFix™ Shape Memory Fixation System is substantially
equivalent in design, materials, intended use, indications for use,
principles of operations and technological characteristics as the
predicate reVERTO™ Shape Memory Staples K071477. There are
differences in the packaging and the accessories are single use
instead of reusable. The shelf life and sterilization method is the
same. The risk analysis performed, raised no new issues of safety or
efficacy. |
| Nonclinical Test
Performed | The verification and validation testing of the InstaFix™ Shape
Memory Fixation implant included staple fatigue life, pull-out
fixation strength and elastic static bending. Design verification and
validation testing included sterilization validation, packaging
validation, sealing and aging study. |
| Conclusions
Drawn | The substantial equivalence of the InstaFix™ Shape Memory
Fixation System is based on the equivalence in intended use,
materials, operational principals, technological characteristics and
indications for use to reVERTO™ Shape Memory Staples K071477.
Non-clinical testing demonstrates that the proposed device is safe,
effective, and performs as well as the predicate device, therefore
demonstrating substantial equivalence |
