Intended Use
The ARIX Wrist System(Radius) is intended for use in forearm fractures, osteotomies and arthrodesis. The ARIX Wrist System(Ulna) is intended for fractures and osteotomies, in particular for the ulna.
Device Description
The ARIX Wrist System consists of plates designed for the Ulna and Radius. The ARIX Wrist System is made of Pure Titanium and Titanium Alloy (Ti-6AL-4V), which meet ASTM F67, Standard Specification for Unalloyed Titanium for Surgical Implant Applications, and ASTM F136, Standard Specification for Wrought Titanium-4 Vanadium ELI (Extra Low Interstitial) Alloy for Surgical Implant Applications, which are widely used for surgical implants with well-known biocompatibility. The plates vary essentially through different lengths and number of plate holes. The screws vary essentially through different lengths and diameters. The screws in this system are available from 2.0mm to 2.8mm. It also includes various manual surgical instruments, as drill guides, drill bits, driver shafts, depth gauge, bender and hand body. The ARIX Wrist System not provided sterile. It is required to be sterilized via autoclave using the validated method prior to surgery.
More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical properties and equivalence to predicate devices, with no mention of AI/ML, image processing, or data sets typically associated with such technologies.

Yes
The device is intended for use in treating forearm fractures, osteotomies, and arthrodeses, which are conditions requiring medical intervention to restore function or correct anatomical deformities.

No
The device description and intended use clearly state that it is an implant system (plates, screws, and surgical instruments) used for treating fractures, osteotomies, and arthrodesis, which are therapeutic rather than diagnostic purposes.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of physical plates, screws, and surgical instruments made of titanium, 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 clearly states the device is for "forearm fractures, osteotomies and arthrodesis" and "fractures and osteotomies, in particular for the ulna." These are surgical procedures performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The description details plates, screws, and surgical instruments made of titanium. These are all components used in surgical implantation and bone fixation.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) outside of the body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body. This device is a surgical implant and associated instruments used within the body for structural support and fixation.

§ 888.3030 Single/multiple component metallic bone fixation appliances and accessories.

(a)
Identification. Single/multiple component metallic bone fixation appliances and accessories are devices intended to be implanted consisting of one or more metallic components and their metallic fasteners. The devices contain a plate, a nail/plate combination, or a blade/plate combination that are made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, stainless steel, and titanium, that are intended to be held in position with fasteners, such as screws and nails, or bolts, nuts, and washers. These devices are used for fixation of fractures of the proximal or distal end of long bones, such as intracapsular, intertrochanteric, intercervical, supracondylar, or condylar fractures of the femur; for fusion of a joint; or for surgical procedures that involve cutting a bone. The devices may be implanted or attached through the skin so that a pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system.(b)
Classification. Class II.

    • Dimension test per ASTM F382
    • 4-Point Bending test per ASTM F382 -
    • Fatigue test per ASTM F382
  • Screw
    • Dimension test per ASTM F543 -
    • Driving torque test per ASTM F543 -
    • Axial pull-out test per ASTM F543 -
    • Torsion test per ASTM F543 i

The results of this testing indicate that the ARIX Wrist System is equivalent to predicate device.

Clinical Test Summary:

No clinical studies were considered necessary and performed.

Substantial Equivalence [21 CFR 807.92(b)(1) and 807.92] 8.

The subject device has the same device characteristics as our previously cleared predicate device. They have the same intended use, raw material, and use concept and employ the same anodization and sterilization method. The differences are in shape and dimensions; however; the performance test data provided in this submission proves the subject device is safe and effective and performed substantially equivalent to the predicates.

9. Conclusion [21 CFR 807.92(b)(3)]

Based on the information provided in this premarket notification Jeil Medical Corporation concludes that ARIX Wrist System Bone Plate & Screw is as safe and as effective as the predicate devices.
