Intended Use
Rush Medullary Pins are indicated for use in fixation of bone fractures, for bone reconstruction, and for skeletal traction in alignment of long bone fracture segments.
Device Description
The Rush Medullary Pin is inserted into the medullary canal of long bones to provide internal shaft fracture fixation. It achieves stabilization through the opposition of dynamic forces. The beveled point enables the surgeon to insert from the side of the bone with little chance of driving the pin through the opposing cortex. These devices are made from stainless steel.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical properties and biocompatibility of a physical implant, with no mention of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is described as "Rush Medullary Pins" indicated for "fixation of bone fractures, for bone reconstruction, and for skeletal traction in alignment of long bone fracture segments," which are all therapeutic interventions.

No
The device is described as an implant used for internal fixation of bone fractures and reconstruction, not for diagnosis. Its function is to stabilize bone segments, not to identify or characterize medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical implant made of stainless steel, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description: The description clearly states that the Rush Medullary Pin is "inserted into the medullary canal of long bones to provide internal shaft fracture fixation." This is a surgical implant used within the body for mechanical support.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "fixation of bone fractures, for bone reconstruction, and for skeletal traction." These are all mechanical and structural functions performed directly on the patient's body.

The device is a surgical implant, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample outside the body.

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

Non-Clinical Performance and Conclusions:

  • · Biocompatibility Biocompatibility testing on the Rush Pin material was conducted per ISO 10993-1 and Good Laboratory Practices (21 CFR § 58). All testing passed.
  • · Performance Evaluation The subject devices were considered for conformance to material mechanical property standard ISO 5838-1, and were found to be in conformance with the standard. The engineering analysis shows the subject and predicate devices have identical material and cross-sectional geometrical properties, their bending strengths are substantially equivalent.

Conclusions: The data presented in this submission demonstrate that the subject devices are substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.

Clinical Performance and Conclusions:

  • · Clinical data and conclusions were not needed for this submission.

§ 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.

Dear Mr. McKelvey:

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.

| Comparison to Predicate Device: | The subject Rush Medullary Pins are identical in shape,
materials, and performance characteristics to the predicate
devices. Only the lengths of the subject and predicate
devices differ. The subject Rush Medullary Pins with
diameters equivalent to the predicate devices but with
different lengths were shown to be substantially equivalent
to the predicate devices. The indications for use for the
subject and predicate devices were shown to be
substantially equivalent. The subject device is provided
non-sterile as is the predicate device. |
