The device description focuses on the material and mechanical design of an intramedullary nail and associated hardware. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML. The performance studies are biomechanical tests, not studies evaluating algorithmic performance.
No.
The device is a non-sterile, single-use intramedullary (IM) nail system designed to stabilize fractures in the tibia, which is an orthopedic implant, not a therapeutic device.
No
The device is an intramedullary nail system used to stabilize bone fractures, not to diagnose medical conditions or diseases.
No
The device description clearly states that the device is an intramedullary nail system made of stainless steel and titanium alloy, which are hardware components.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for stabilizing fractures of the tibia. This is a surgical procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
- Device Description: The description details an intramedullary nail, screws, and an end cap made of metal. These 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 to treat a physical injury.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Syntec Tibial Nail System is intended to stabilize fractures of the proximal and the tibial shaft; certain pre-and post-isthmic fractures; open and closed tibial shaft fractures; and tibial malunions and non-unions.

Device Description
The Syntec Tibial Nail System are manufactured from commercially SUS316L (stainless steel) and Ti-6AL-4V (Titanium alloy). It is an intramedullary (IM) nail with a 12° in the upper third of the reamed Tibial Nail. These nails will use ø5mm internal hex captured screws in various lengths for cross-screw fixation in both the proximal and distal portion of the nail. Also, an End Cap ø8.4 in 15mm lengths is available for proximal closing of the nail. The Syntec Tibial Nail System (nail, screw and end cap) are provided non-sterile and single use only. Also, it is not for spinal use. Associated instrumentation such as aiming device for proximal and distal, insertion guide wire, drill accessories, system and removal instruments are available with the system.

Dear Kavin Chu:
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.

5. Summary of Performance Data (Nonclinical and/or Clinical)
*Clinical Test
Clinical studies are not required to support substantially equivalent.
*Non-Clinical Test
Biomechanical Test: The biomechanical tests ASTM F1264-16e1were performed to determine substantial equivalence for the Syntec Tibial Nail System including the performance of Tibial Nail and Internal Hex Captured Screw. Results indicate that the subject Tibial Nail and Internal Hex Captured Screw are substantially equivalent to legally marketed devices.
6. Substantial Equivalence
The Syntec Tibial Nail System has the same intended uses and indications, technological characteristics, and principles of operation to the predicate device. Thus, the Syntec Tibial Nail System is substantially equivalent in design, configuration, function, and indications for use to the Predicate Device.
