No
The device description focuses on mechanical components and an external remote controller, with no mention of AI/ML or related terms.
Yes
The device is indicated for "open and closed fracture fixation, pseudoarthrosis, or mal-unions and non-unions of long bones," which are therapeutic applications.
No
The device is described as a system for fracture fixation and reduction, which are treatment procedures, not diagnostic ones.
No
The device description clearly states that the system is composed of a physical nail, locking screws, surgical instruments, and an external remote controller, indicating it is a hardware-based medical device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for "open and closed fracture fixation, pseudoarthrosis, or mal-unions and non-unions of long bones." This describes a surgical implant used to treat bone conditions, not a test performed on biological samples to diagnose or monitor a medical condition.
- Device Description: The description details a mechanical implant (nail, screws, instruments, controller) designed for surgical intervention. It does not mention any components or processes related to analyzing biological specimens.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The document does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
- Analysis of biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
- Reagents or assays
- Diagnostic or monitoring purposes
- Measurement of biomarkers or other biological indicators
The device is clearly a surgical implant used for orthopedic procedures.

Substantial equivalence is based on same intended use, identical technological characteristics and principles of operation.
The Ellipse PRECICE Trauma Nail System and the predicate device have the same intended use. Specifically, the PRECICE Trauma Nail System and the predicate are both designed to treat long bones using compression fracture reduction techniques. The PRECICE Trauma Nail System subject of this premarket notification is indicated for open and closed fracture fixation, pseudoarthrosis, or mal-unions and non-unions of long bones, specifically.
The Ellipse PRECICE Trauma Nail has the same technological characteristics and principles of operation as that of the predicate. The design of both devices are identical. Both devices are inserted into the intramedullary canal of the long bone and secured with locking screws. Both devices are adjusted non-invasively by the Ellipse External Remote Controller (ERC).
There are no changes to the design of the PRECICE Trauma Nail being made as a result of this submission, therefore all testing that was performed on the predicate PRECICE Trauma Nail System is applicable. These tests include mechanical testing according to the methods outlined in the standard ASTM F1264-03, validation of the gamma radiation sterilization cycle in accordance with the VDmax 35 methodology as given in ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11137-2 to verify that the gamma radiation sterilization process provides a sterility assurance level of 10-6, and design verification and validation, shelf life testing for the packaging after accelerated aging, O-ring seal performance testing and biocompatibility in accordance with ISO 10993-1 for the intended use of the device.
There are no changes to the design of the ERC being made as a result of this submission, therefore all testing that was performed on the predicate PRECICE Trauma Nail System for the ERC are applicable.
Conclusions can be drawn from these tests that the PRECICE Trauma Nail System is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
