More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical properties and compatibility of the dissection tools, with no mention of AI or ML.

Yes.
The device is intended for "cutting and shaping bone including the spine and cranium," which directly relates to treating or alleviating a condition, making it a therapeutic device.

No

Explanation: The device is described as a surgical tool for cutting and shaping bone, not for diagnosing conditions. Its intended use is mechanical intervention rather than information gathering for diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly states that the device is a physical, one-piece metal bone cutting and shaping tool, which is a hardware component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "for cutting and shaping bone including the spine and cranium." This describes a surgical tool used directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The description details a mechanical tool (burs) used with a drill system for bone manipulation.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) outside of the body to provide information about a patient's health. This device does not perform any such analysis of specimens.
  • Anatomical Site: The anatomical site is "bone including the spine and cranium," which are locations within the patient's body where the device is used directly.

The information provided clearly indicates that this is a surgical instrument used for physical manipulation of bone, not for in vitro diagnostic testing.

Dear Tamara West:

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 predicate dissection tools (K113476) are part of an electric/pneumatic drill system and are available in many different styles and dimensions, including a fluted ball. A minor design modification was made to the head of the existing fluted ball style by offering a 2fluted style as compared to 4 or more flutes with the predicate device. The 2-fluted style was developed to provide a dissection tool that produces less chatter and vibration while cutting than the predicate dissection tools (K113476).

The proposed Anspach Helix™ Dissection Tools remain identical to the predicate dissection tools (K113476) in terms of operating principles, where it attaches to the handpiece/attachment of either an electric or pneumatic drill utilizing the diamond flat locking mechanism. The indications for use, material and manufacturing remain identical to the predicate dissection tools (K113476).

The technological characteristics of the proposed Anspach Helix™ dissection tools are similar to those of the predicate (K113476) device in the following ways:

  • Both dissection tools use a patented locking mechanism on the distal end to secure to the handpiece
  • · Both dissection tools are compatible with the same electric and pneumatic drill systems, including attachments
  • Both dissection tools have a straight shaft and fluted ball style head, where the proposed dissection tools have 2 flutes opposed to 4 or more flutes of the predicate dissection tools
  • · Both dissection tools are provided sterile

As with the predicate dissection tools (K113476), the Anspach Helix™ Dissection Tools have no impact on the safety and effectiveness of the device or the ability to perform as intended.

evaluation of medical devices – Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process".

The Anspach Helix™ Dissection Tools are manufactured and packaged in the same manner with identical material as the predicate device (K113476). No new or additional processing steps were introduced; therefore, biocompatibility requirements have been met.

Design Control:

The following verification activities were performed to demonstrate that the device meets the performance requirements under its indications for use conditions for determination of substantial equivalence.

TestTest Method SummaryResults
Verification Analysis - Mating

Diameter/Shaft LengthConduct a tolerance analysis to
determine the minimum and
maximum clearance between the
shaft diameter of the dissection
tool and inner race bearing
diameter of the attachment.Analysis was performed by
evaluating all Helix dissection
tools and attachment (predicate)
combinations to confirm
compatibility.
Tolerance analysis reflects 0.0001
to 0.0007 inches of clearance
between dissection tools and the
attachment which is in the
required range of scope with a
3/32-inch shaft diameter and the
inner race bearing diameter of
compatible attachments as listed
in the compatibility table.
Tolerance analysis reflects that
the minimum length in the lock
position exists, so the head will
not interfere with the attachment.
Tolerance analysis reflects that
the tapered section of the
dissection tool will not interfere
with the distal bearing inner
diameter of the attachment.

| Helix Ball Bur Chatter/Cut and

Shape Verification Report
The % chatter for each group of
same-size Helix ball burs must
be less than the chatter of the
corresponding group of same-
size predicate G1
burs, as determined by a
hypothesis test with a
significance level (alpha) = 0.10.All samples met the acceptance
criteria and exhibited statistically
lower% chatter than the
corresponding same size
predicate devices with the
exception of the S-25SB-HX-G1-1.
For this size, while lower, the
results were not statistically
significant as compared to the
corresponding same size
predicate.
Each Helix ball bur used to cut
into the Bi-resin (simulated
bone) samples and then shall be
evaluated to confirm that they
cut and shape bone the same as
the predicate.All samples met the acceptance
criteria to cut and shape bone,
the same as the predicate.
Each Helix ball bur used to cut
into the Bi-resin (simulated
bone) samples and then shall be
visually inspected for cutter head
fracture with the acceptance
criteria of the bur head intact on
the cutter and not broken, the
same as the predicate.All samples met the acceptance
criteria for the head of the cutter
to remain intact, the same as
the predicate.

The above verification activities demonstrate the Anspach Helix™ Dissection Tools perform as intended in cutting and shaping bone in the same manner as the predicate (K113476) and are compatible with existing predicate devices (K113746). Verification activities also demonstrate that select Helix designs exhibited statistically significantly lower chatter and vibration while cutting than the corresponding same size burs of the predicate devices (K113476). Based on the results of the verification activities, the proposed Anspach Helix™ Dissection Tools are determined to be substantially equivalent to the predicate devices (K113476).

No animal or clinical testing was necessary for a determination of substantial equivalence.

VII. CONCLUSIONS

The Anspach Helix™ Dissection Tools described in this submission have the same intended use, general design, material, technological characteristics, and principles of operation as the predicate device (K113476) and do not raise any new issues of safety or efficacy. In addition, the select 2-flute designs that are part of the marketing claims within this submission also do not raise any new issues of safety or efficacy and were found to be substantially equivalent to the predicate devices (K113476). Therefore, the proposed Anspach Helix™ Dissection Tools are found to be substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
