No
The description focuses on mechanical components (cable, crimp, instrumentation) and materials used for orthopedic fixation. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.
No
The device is an orthopedic implant used for fracture fixation, which is a structural support rather than a treatment that cures or rehabilitates.
No
The device is an orthopedic cable cerclage system used for fixation of fractures and dislocations. Its purpose is mechanical support and stabilization, not diagnosis.
No
The device description explicitly states it consists of a cable and crimp assembly made from medical-grade titanium and cobalt chromium alloys, which are physical hardware components.
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 includes tests for diagnosing, monitoring, or screening for diseases or conditions.
- Device Description and Intended Use: The provided text clearly describes a surgical implant system used for fixing fractures and dislocations within the body. It is a physical device implanted during surgery.
- Lack of Specimen Analysis: There is no mention of analyzing any biological specimens or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis.
The In-Line Orthopedic Cable Cerclage System is a surgical implant used for mechanical fixation of bones.

§ 888.3010 Bone fixation cerclage.
(a)
Identification. A bone fixation cerclage is a device intended to be implanted that is made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, and that consists of a metallic ribbon or flat sheet or a wire. The device is wrapped around the shaft of a long bone, anchored to the bone with wire or screws, and used in the fixation of fractures.(b)

Dear Ms. Byman:
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 Parts 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set
1
forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820); and if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
