More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a mechanical orthopedic implant system and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

No
The device is described as a system for stabilization and inter-digital reconstruction of phalanges and fixation of small bones, which are structural and mechanical functions, not therapeutic.

No
The device is described as a system for stabilization and reconstruction of bones in the foot and fixation of small bones, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states that the system includes physical components such as intramedullary bone screws, a strut, and implantable K-wires. These are hardware components, not software.

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 used for the stabilization and reconstruction of bones in the foot. This is a surgical procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device consists of implantable screws, a strut, and K-wires, which are physical implants used in surgery.
  • 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 about a patient's health.

IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the body to diagnose diseases or conditions. This device is a surgical implant used for structural support and fixation within the body.

§ 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)
Classification. Class II.

Dear Mr. Lintula:

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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part

1

801); medical device reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/CombinationProducts/GuidanceRegulatoryInformation/ucm597488.htm); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (OS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.

Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97).

Device
Descriptions:The HammerToe Compression System includes two
intramedullary bone screws and a strut, which is provided pre-
assembled with the proximal screw. Implantable K-wires are
also provided in the system. The implants are provided in
multiple diameters and lengths to accommodate variations in
patient anatomy.
Indications for
Use:The HammerToe Compression System is indicated for use in the
stabilization and inter-digital reconstruction of the phalanges of
the foot, appropriate for the size of the device.
The implantable K-wires are indicated for use in the stabilization
and fixation of small bones for use in bone reconstruction,
osteotomy, arthrodesis, fracture repair and fixation, appropriate
for the size of the joint. Additionally, the implantable K-wires
are indicated as guide pins for insertion of instruments and
implants in the HammerToe Compression System.
Materials:The HammerToe Compression System screws and strut are
made from Titanium Alloy. The K-Wires are manufactured from
Stainless Steel. The instrumentation is manufactured from
medical grades of stainless steel, polymer and titanium.
Primary
Predicate:K171715, Paragon 28, Inc. HammerTube® System
Additional
Predicate:K130859, Arthrosurface, Inc. Hammertoe Correction System
Comparison to
Predicate
Indications:The subject HammerToe Compression System and
HammerTube® System devices are intended to be used for
stabilization of small bones. All indications for the subject
device are within the indications of the predicate devices.
Comparison to
PredicateBoth the subject and the predicate components are designed to
achieve stabilization of small bones. In the case of the
HammerToe Compression System, the devices thread into the
Technological
Characteristics:medullary cavity of two adjacent small bones and engage with
each other to provide tension and compress the two bones
together. In the case of the predicate device and the implantable
K-wires, the device passes through the medullary cavities of two
adjacent small bones to provide stabilization for compressing the
two bones together. Differences between the HammerToe
Compression implants (material, design, sizes) were shown not
to raise new questions of safety and effectiveness. Therefore, the
fundamental scientific technology of the HammerToe
Compression System is similar to the predicate.
Performance
Data:All necessary testing has been performed on representative
HammerToe Compression System components to assure
substantial equivalence to its predicate and demonstrate the
subject device performs as intended. All testing was performed
on finished devices.
The device performance was characterized via static and
dynamic bending, pullout force, insertion/removal torque, and
torque to failure testing. Clinical data are not needed to support
the safety and effectiveness of the subject devices.
Conclusion:Performance testing demonstrates the substantial equivalence of
the HammerToe Compression System to the HammerTube®
System. Therefore, the HammerToe Compression System is
substantially equivalent to the HammerTube® System
(K171715) with respect to their indications for use, technical
characteristics, and function.
