This system is also intended to treat metaphyseal fractures, such as radial neck fractures and is intended for fixation of small long bones, such as carpal and tarsal bones.
Device Description
The Renovo Life Small Bone IM Nail System nails are available in diameters ranging from 2.5 mm to 4.5 mm with a length of 150 mm and either solid or cannulated and materials are surgical grade stainless steel or titanium. Renovo Life Screws are 3.5 mm in diameter and are available in lengths from 10mm to 34 mm in materials of surgical grade stainless steel or titanium. The Renovo Life Small Bone IM Nail System is provided non-sterile and are intended for single use only.
More Information

Not Found

No
The 510(k) summary describes a mechanical implant system (nails and screws) for bone fixation and does not mention any software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.

Yes.
The device is indicated for fixation of fractures and uses nails and screws to provide structural support, which is a therapeutic intervention aimed at treating injuries.

No
The device is described as an IM nail system for fixation of fractures, not for diagnosing them. It is used to stabilize bones, not to provide diagnostic information.

No

The device description explicitly details physical components (nails and screws made of stainless steel or titanium) and mentions performance studies involving mechanical testing (bend tests, torsion tests), indicating it is a hardware medical device.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a device for the fixation of fractures in bones. This is a surgical implant used directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The description details surgical nails and screws made of surgical grade materials, intended for implantation.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVD devices are used in vitro (outside the body) to analyze samples. This device is used in vivo (inside the body) as a surgical implant.

Summary of Performance Studies

The Renovo Life Small Bone IM Nail System has undergone comparative testing with a predicate device conducted as per ASTM 1264-14, a cadaveric implant trial and a rotational resistance test. The test data showed the Renovo Life Small Bone IM Nail was substantially equivalent to the predicate device in a static and dynamic four-point bend tests, static torsion test and compliance tests, as described herein.

| Intended Use: | The Renovo Life Small Bone IM Nail System is indicated for fixation of
fractures where the canal is narrow or flexibility of the implant is
paramount, including the fibula, radius, and ulna, upper extremity
fractures in all patients and lower extremity fractures in small-stature

long bones, such as carpal and tarsal bones. |
| Summary of Technological
Characteristics | The Renovo Life Small Bone IM Nail System designed for fixation of
stable and unstable fractures in the fibula, radius and ulna. |
| Non-Clinical Testing | The Renovo Life Small Bone IM Nail System has undergone comparative
testing with a predicate device conducted as per ASTM 1264-14, a
cadaveric implant trial and a rotational resistance test. The test data
showed the Renovo Life Small Bone IM Nail was substantially equivalent
to the predicate device in a static and dynamic four-point bend tests, static
torsion test and compliance tests, as described herein. |
| Clinical Testing | No clinical testing was performed. |
| Conclusion | The Renovo Life Small Bone IM Nail Systems have the same intended use
and similar indications, principles of operation, and technological
characteristics as the predicate devices.
