Intended Use
The OrthoPediatrics Pediatric Nailing Platform|Femur is used for pediatric and small stature adult patients as indicated to stabilize fractures of the femoral shaft; subtrochanteric fractures; prophylactionalling of impending pathologic fractures; nonunions; fixation of femurs that have been surgically prepared (osteotomy) for correction of deformity. Additional indications includes simple long bone fractures; severely comminuted spiral, large oblique and segmental fractures; polytrauma and multiple fractures; reconstruction, following tumor resection and grafting; supracondylar fractures; bone lengthening and shortening; fixation of fractures that occur in and between the proximal and distal third of the long bones being treated. The OrthoPediatrics Pediatric Nailing Platform|Femur is for single use only.
Device Description
The proposed OrthoPediatrics Pediatric Nailing Platform|Femur seeks to add sterile packaged nails for distribution. All subject components have previously been cleared as non-sterile implants. All other components of the OrthoPediatrics Pediatric Nailing Platform|Femur will remain non-sterile to be sterilized by end-user. The OrthoPediatrics Pediatric Nailing Platform|Femur nails have a complex 3-dimensional geometry resulting in an anatomically appropriate design which with an advanced surgical technique. The smaller diameter of the nail allows it to be inserted in patients with a narrow medullary canal and allows for easier insertion without the need for excessive reaming. The proposed nails are manufactured from stainless steel conforming to ASTM F138 and are available in child and adolescent configurations: - The child nails are available in 7mm, 8mm, and 9mm diameters. - The adolescent nails are available in 9mm, 10mm, 11mm, and 12mm diameters. - These nails range in length from 20cm to 42cm, depending on the naildiameter. - Surgeon preference dictates the appropriate nail size required to stabilize the fracture and allow for appropriate healing.
More Information

No
The summary describes a mechanical orthopedic implant (femoral nail) and its material properties and dimensions. There is no mention of software, algorithms, data processing, or any terms related to AI/ML.

Yes
The device is described as "Orthopedic Pediatric Nailing Platform|Femur" and its intended use is to "stabilize fractures of the femoral shaft; subtrochanteric fractures; prophylactionalling of impending pathologic fractures; nonunions; fixation of femurs that have been surgically prepared (osteotomy) for correction of deformity." This falls under the definition of a therapeutic device as it is treating a medical condition (fractures, nonunions, deformities).

No

The device is an orthopedic implant (nail) used to stabilize fractures, meaning it is a therapeutic device rather than a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical implant (nails) made of stainless steel, 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 clearly states that the device is used to "stabilize fractures of the femoral shaft," "fixation of femurs that have been surgically prepared," and other similar surgical procedures. This describes a device used in vivo (within the body) for structural support and fracture fixation.
  • Device Description: The device is described as "sterile packaged nails" made of stainless steel, designed with "complex 3-dimensional geometry" for insertion into the medullary canal of the femur. This is consistent with a surgical implant.
  • 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 screening.

IVD devices are used to perform tests outside of the body on biological samples. This device is an implantable surgical device used inside the body.

Summary of Performance Data (Nonclinical and/or Clinical)

Performance Testing - Bench

No design changes have been made since previous submission relates only to sterilization of the Pediatric Nailing Platform|Femur nails.

  • Mechanical testing VerRep-1005-0004 provided objective evidence that there is no effect on . mechanical properties of 316L stainless steel when exposed to a high dose of gamma radiation (75kGy).
    Therefore, no additional bench testing is required for or included in this submission.

Performance Testing - Animal

Not applicable. Animal testing was not necessary to determine substantial equivalence of the OrthoPediatrics Pediatric Nailing Platform|Femur.

Performance Testing - Clinical

Not applicable. Clinical testing was not necessary to determine substantial equivalence of the OrthoPediatrics Pediatric Nailing Platform|Femur.

Substantial Equivalence Conclusion

OrthoPediatrics believes that the Pediatric Nailing Platform|Femur is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate, OrthoPediatrics PediNail Intramedullary Nailing System (K172583) based on the similarities of design, intended use, materials, sizing. Risk analysis and design control activities including verification activities were conducted to mitigate identified new risks associated with packaged sterile devices, and it is expected that the subject Pediatric Nailing Platform|Femur will perform substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate device.
