More Information

No
The summary describes a system for bone and tissue fixation using ultrasonic energy to melt and fix bioresorbable implants. There is no mention of AI or ML in the device description, intended use, performance studies, or any other section. The software mentioned is for the control of the SonicFusion equipment, not for data analysis or decision-making related to diagnosis or treatment planning.

No.
The devices are implants and equipment used for surgical procedures like bone fracture fixation and tissue repair, which are not considered therapeutic devices in and of themselves.

No

The device is intended for fixation and repair of bone fractures, osteotomies, or grafts, and for suture or tissue fixation. It is not used to identify or analyze a disease or condition.

No

The device description explicitly states that the system consists of physical implants (pins and anchors), SonicFusion equipment (hardware), and associated accessories (hardware). While software is mentioned as being verified and validated for the SonicFusion equipment, the device as a whole is a combination of hardware and software, not software-only.

Based on the provided information, no, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use of both the Stryker SonicPin System and the Stryker SonicAnchor System is for the fixation and alignment of bone and tissue within the body during surgical procedures. This is an in vivo application (within a living organism).
  • Device Description: The devices are described as implants (pins and anchors) and associated equipment used for their insertion into the body.
  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices intended to be used outside the body to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

The Stryker SonicPin and SonicAnchor Systems are surgical implants and associated tools used directly on the patient's body, not for testing samples outside the body.

Comparison of Technological Characteristics with the Predicate Device:

Stryker SonicPin System

SonicFusion is the technological principle for both the subject Stryker SonicPin System and the predicate Stryker SonicPin System. SonicFusion technology is based on the application of controlled ultrasonic energy which liquefies the polymer implant as it is placed in the bone. At a high level, the subject and predicate devices are based on the following same technological elements:

  • . Use of a polymer pin implant
  • SonicFusion technology used for implant application ●

The following differences exist between the subject and predicate devices:

  • Sonic Pin implant material has been evaluated for magnetic resonance safety ●
  • New SonicFusion ultrasonic generator, handpiece and footswitch
  • Use of interchangeable tips on the SonicFusion handpiece
  • Ultrasound delivered has a decreased amplitude
  • Added footswitch containing power switch to SonicFusion equipment ●

Stryker SonicAnchor System

The Stryker SonicAnchor System and the predicate device are both intended to be used for suture or tissue fixation to bone.

At a high level, the subject and predicate devices require the following same technological elements:

  • Surgical site preparation
  • . Use of a drill for surgical site preparation
  • Use of a suture ●

The following differences exist between the subject and predicate devices:

  • Use of different fixation methods
