More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a system of plates and screws for bone fixation and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.

Yes
The device consists of plates and screws intended for the treatment of hand and forearm fractures, osteotomies, and arthrodeses, which are therapeutic medical interventions.

No
The device, Alians Fragment Specific range, consists of plates and screws intended for surgical fixation of hand and forearm fractures, osteotomies, and arthrodeses. It is an implantable device used for treatment, not for diagnosing a condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of plates and screws, which are physical hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description: The Alians Fragment Specific range consists of implants (plates and screws) and instruments used for surgical procedures on the hand and forearm. These are physical devices inserted into or used on the body, not used to test samples outside the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for treating fractures, osteotomies, and arthrodeses through surgical intervention, not for diagnostic testing of biological samples.

The information provided clearly describes a surgical implant and instrument system, which falls under the category of medical devices used for treatment, not in vitro diagnosis.

§ 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.

Dear Mr. J.D. Webb:

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.
