No
The description focuses on mechanical components (magnet, rod, gearing) and an external controller for non-invasive adjustment. There is no mention of AI or ML in the device description, intended use, or performance studies.
Yes
The device is indicated for medical conditions such as limb-lengthening, fracture fixation, and non-unions of long bones, which are therapeutic medical interventions.
No
The device is indicated for limb-lengthening, fracture fixation, pseudoarthrosis, mal-unions, non-unions, or bone transport. It is an implantable system designed for internal fixation and gradual bone segment adjustment, not for diagnosing medical conditions.
No
The device description explicitly lists hardware components such as the nail, screws, end caps, surgical instruments, and an external remote controller (ERC). The performance studies also focus on the mechanical properties and sterilization of these hardware components.
Based on the provided information, the PRECICE® BONE TRANSPORT™ System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a device used for surgical procedures on long bones (limb-lengthening, fracture fixation, etc.). This is an in-vivo application, meaning it's used within the living body.
- Device Description: The description details an implantable intramedullary nail, locking screws, instruments, and an external controller. These are all components of a surgical device used for mechanical support and manipulation of bone.
- 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 compatibility testing.
IVD devices are specifically designed to perform tests on biological samples outside of the body. The PRECICE® BONE TRANSPORT™ System is a surgical implant and associated tools used inside the body.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The PRECICE® BONE TRANSPORT™ System is indicated for limb-lengthening, open and closed fracture fixation, pseudoarthrosis, mal-unions, non-unions or bone transport of long bones.

Device Description
The PRECICE® Bone Transport System includes the PRECICE® Bone Transport Nail, locking screws, end caps, surgical instruments, and external remote controller (ERC). The PRECICE® Bone Transport nails and end caps are supplied sterile by gamma radiation while the locking screws and instruments are supplied non-sterile and must be sterilized prior to use. The system is designed to achieve limb correction through gradual lengthening or compression of the intercalary bone segment and providing internal fixation for fractures of long bones. The PRECICE® Bone Transport intramedullary nail is implanted using locking screws, end caps, and reusable surgical instruments. The PRECICE® Bone Transport nail contains an enclosed rare earth magnet, distraction rod, and planetary gearing which allows the extension of the distraction rod to be adjusted non-invasively by the External Remote Controller (ERC). The PRECICE® Bone Transport nail is available in various diameters, lengths and screw hole configurations to accommodate a variety of patient anatomies and implantation methods. The locking screws are also available in a variety of diameters, lengths, and thread styles. The ERC is available in several compatible models.

The text "NUVASIVE" is in a sans-serif font, and below it, in smaller letters, is "SPECIALIZED ORTHOPEDICS, INC."
The purpose of this submission is to implement design changes to the predicate PRECICE® System (K173129) and reference device PRECICE® Stryde System (K180503) to create a product line extension which includes the PRECICE® Bone Transport nail and compatible locking screws and end caps. The subject nail performance meets predicate device performance specifications. The design changes of subject nail inform revised contraindications, warnings. precautions and implantation procedure on the label to address new risks compared to predicate device.
These modifications to the PRECICE® System do not change the indications for use or intended use of the device, nor do they change the fundamental scientific technology of the device.
E. Indication for Use
The PRECICE® Bone Transport System is indicated for limb lengthening, open and closed fracture fixation, pseudoarthrosis, mal-unions, or bone transport of long bones.
F. Comparison of Technological Characteristics with the Predicate Device
The subject PRECICE® Bone Transport System is substantially equivalent to the predicate PRECICE® System (K173129) and reference device PRECICE® Stryde System (K180503) previously cleared by the FDA for commercial distribution in the United States.
Substantial equivalence between subject, predicate and reference device is established based on identical indications for use, material composition, technological characteristics, principles of operation and fundamental scientific principles.
Substantial equivalence is also based on device dimension, specifically, the nail diameters, locking screws, device configurations and end caps which are the same as the reference device. The predicate, reference and subject devices are inserted into the intramedullary canal of the long bones and secured with locking screws. The predicate, reference and subject devices are adjusted non-invasively by the External Remote Controller (ERC). The design modifications for the subject device, PRECICE® Bone Transport are as follows:
- . The subject nail is a slotted intramedullary (IM) nail. The housing tube of this IM nail has longitudinal transport slot.
- . The stroke length/transport length is independent of rod length since the distraction rod excursion is accommodated within the housing tube making the subject device a fixed length device.
- The distraction rod spans both the defect site and osteotomy site.
- Additional size of locking screw available with the subject device .
- Assembly of the gear train and distraction rod is reversed to incorporate the transport slot ● although the components remain the same as the predicate device
The labeling changes includes added contraindication and warning based on the design modifications of the subject device.
There are no changes being made to the ERCs or PRECICE® surgical instruments as a result of this submission.
