Intended Use
The Stryker SonicPin System is intended to maintain alignment and fixation of bone fractures, osteotomies or bone grafts in hallux valgus applications in the presence of appropriate immobilization (e.g. rigid fixation implants, cast and brace). The Stryker SonicPin is designed only to be inserted with the SonicFusion equipment.
Device Description
The Stryker SonicPin System consists of a sterile bioresorbable pin (implant), the SonicFusion equipment as well as associated accessories and is intended to maintain alignment and fixation of bone fractures, osteotomies or bone grafts in hallux valgus applications in the presence of appropriate immobilization. The bioresorbable pin is implanted by the controlled application of ultrasound (SonicFusion technology). The ultrasonic energy is employed to liguefy the polymeric interface between the implant and the host bone to ensure a strong fixation with the bone after solidification.
More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a bioresorbable pin and an ultrasound-based insertion system, with no mention of AI or ML in the device description, intended use, or performance studies.

Yes
The device is intended to maintain alignment and fixation of bone fractures, osteotomies, or bone grafts, which directly addresses a medical condition (hallux valgus applications) and provides an active therapeutic effect.

No
The device is described as an implantable pin system used for fixation of bone fractures and osteotomies, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function.

No

The device description explicitly states that the system consists of a sterile bioresorbable pin (implant) and SonicFusion equipment, which are hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "maintain alignment and fixation of bone fractures, osteotomies or bone grafts in hallux valgus applications." This is a therapeutic and structural function within the body.
  • Device Description: The device is an implantable bioresorbable pin used for bone fixation.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not perform any such analysis of biological specimens.

The device is clearly a surgical implant used for orthopedic fixation.

Summary of Performance Studies

Mechanical testing was performed to evaluate the mechanical performance:

  • Static shear strength testing
    Testing demonstrated that Stryker SonicPin System is equivalent in mechanical performance to the predicate device (K143063). Further, the polymer characterization (for the raw material and final, finished device) and the in vitro degradation curve were performed.

Additionally, the magnetic resonance safety and compatibility were evaluated according to FDA Guidance 'Establishing safety and compatibility of passive implants in the magnetic resonance (MR) environment' (2014). The scientifically based rationale demonstrated that the modified bioresorbable pin (implant) of Stryker SonicPin System can be used in MR environment and is labeled as 'MR safe'.

Biocompatibility testing was performed to evaluate the biological safety of Stryker SonicPin System according to FDA Guidance 'Use of International Standard ISO 10993-1, Biological evaluation of medical devices - Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process'. The following testing was performed:

  • Chemical characterization according to ISO 10993-18 .
  • Cytotoxicity testing according to ISO 10993-5
  • Biological and chemical risk assessment .
    Testing demonstrated that Stryker SonicPin System is biocompatible.

The Bacterial Endotoxin Testing (BET) was performed and demonstrated that the modified bioresorbable pin (implant) of Stryker SonicPin System meets the specified endotoxin limit.

§ 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)
