The device description and performance studies focus solely on the mechanical components and packaging of a surgical fixation system, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.
No.
The device is an orthopedic implant for internal fixation, which is a structural support device rather than a device intended to restore a physiological function or prevent or treat a disease.
No
This device is an implantable system for internal fixation (fusion) of bones, not for diagnosing conditions.
No
The device description clearly states the system consists of physical components (post, screws, instruments) made of Ti-6Al-4V alloy, which are hardware implants and surgical tools. There is no mention of any software component.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is "internal fixation for First Metatarsocuneiform arthrodesis". This describes a surgical procedure to fuse bones, not a test performed on samples from the human body to provide information about a physiological state or disease.
- Device Description: The device is a "three-part construct intended for internal fixation". It consists of physical implants (post, screws, plug screw) made of titanium alloy. This is a surgical implant, not a diagnostic tool.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting analytes, or providing diagnostic information. The device's function is purely mechanical support for bone fusion.
Therefore, the InCore® Lapidus System is a surgical implant, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description
The InCore® Lapidus System consists of a post and two headless compression screws. Posts are available in 28mm and 32mm lengths and in right and left orientations. Screws are available in a 3.5mm diameter and lengths of 24 to 60mm. The post is inserted into the medial cuneiform and compression screws are inserted into the first metatarsal and into the post to maintain apposition of the bones during fusion. A post plug screw is threaded into the top of the post after all components have been implanted to prevent tissue ingrowth into the post and facilitate removal, if needed. All implants are manufactured from color anodized Ti-6Al-4V alloy conforming to ASTM F-136.
The current submission adds disposable instruments to the InCore® Lapidus System. The disposable instruments are packaged in sterile kits with the 28mm post and post plug screw implant. The implant components of the system are unchanged aside from the change in packaging of the 28mm posts and post plug screws.

§ 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 Greg Denham:
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 (QS) 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). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Safety/ReportaProblem/default.htm.
