The summary describes a physical implant and its intended use, with performance studies focused on engineering analyses of stress and geometry. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data sets typically associated with AI/ML devices.
Yes
The device is an implant for joint resurfacing in patients with arthritis, which is a therapeutic intervention.
No
The device is an implant for treating arthritis, not for diagnosing conditions.
No
The device description clearly states it is a "one-piece cannulated hemi-arthroplasty implant" and mentions "metallic hemi implant," indicating it is a physical hardware device, not software.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
- Device Description: The Vilex CHI is a surgical implant designed to replace or resurface a joint in the foot. It is a physical device implanted into the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use is to treat specific conditions of the MTP joint through surgical implantation, not to analyze biological samples.
The information provided clearly describes a surgical implant, not a device used for testing biological samples outside the body.

Dear Victor Lavi:
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 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/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); 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).

MPJ Head. These are available in standard and lesser options. These components are used for hemi arthroplasty and are not used together to create a total joint.
V. Intended Use
The Vilex CHI (cannulated hemi implant), a hemi-arthroplasty implant for the metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint, is indicated for use in the treatment of patients with degenerative and post-traumatic arthritis in the MTP joint in the presence of good bone stock and integrity of the phalangeal base, along with the following clinical conditions: Hallux Limitus, Hallux Valgus, Hallux Rigidus, and an unstable or painful MTP joint. The Vilex cannulated metallic hemi implant is intended to be used with bone cement. The Vilex cannulated metallic hemi implant is intended for single-use only.
VI. Comparison of Technological Characteristics with the Predicate Devices
The CHI is technologically substantially equivalent to predicate devices in terms of intended use, material, design, mechanical performance and safety. Testing and analyses confirmed that the CHI is substantially equivalent when compared to the predicate device. The design characteristics of the subject system do not raise any new types of questions of safety or effectiveness. From the evidence submitted in this 510(k), the subject devices can be expected to perform at least as well as the predicate device.

VII. Performance Data
Engineering analyses demonstrated that the CHI does not introduce an added risk when compared to the previously cleared Vilex predicates. Analyses included:
- Bending Stress
- Shear Stress
- Geometric Analysis
- Surface Area Analysis
Analyses and evaluation concluded that the subject CHI is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
VIII. Conclusions
A review of the device indications, material composition, external element design, and technological characteristics confirmed that the CHI are substantially equivalent to the predicate device. While the CHI implants are not identical to the predicate device, comparisons of the subject and predicate device confirmed that any differences between the subject device and predicate do not render the device NSE as there is not a new intended use; and any differences in technological characteristics do not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness than the predicate device. Therefore, it is concluded that the CHI is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
