Intended Use
The ARIX Ankle System(Fibula) is intended for use in internal fixation of the distal fibula.
Device Description
The ARIX Ankle System is rigid fixation consisting of plates and screws in various configurations, shapes and sizes. The ARIX Ankle System is made of Unalloyed Titanium Alloy (Ti-6Al-4V), which meet ASTM F67, Standard Specification for Unalloyed Titanium for Surgical Implant Applications, and ASTM F136, Standard Specification for Wrought Titanium-6 Aluminum-4 Vanadium ELI (Extra Low Interstitial) Alloy for Surgical Implant Applications, which are widely used for surgical implants with well-known biocompatibility. The plates vary essentially through different lengths and number of plate holes. The screws are self-tapping, which are applied with the reconstruction locking screws together. The Locking Screws are provided with diameter 3.5mm and Cortical Screws are provided with diameter 3.5mm. And both are provided with lengths from 10 mm to 70 mm.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description focuses on the physical components (plates and screws) and materials, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML. The performance studies are based on mechanical testing, not algorithmic performance.

No
This device is an internal fixation system (plates and screws) used for bone repair, not a device that provides therapy or treatment.

No

The device is described as rigid fixation consisting of plates and screws used for internal fixation of the distal fibula. Its purpose is to physically stabilize a bone, not to identify, detect, or monitor a medical condition or disease.

No

The device description clearly states it consists of physical components (plates and screws) made of titanium alloy, which are hardware implants for internal fixation.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "internal fixation of the distal fibula." This describes a surgical procedure performed on the patient's body to stabilize a bone fracture.
  • Device Description: The device consists of "plates and screws" made of titanium alloy. These are physical implants used in surgery.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD device is used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) outside of the body to provide information about a person's health. This device does not interact with biological specimens in this way.

The ARIX Ankle System is a surgical implant, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

§ 888.3030 Single/multiple component metallic bone fixation appliances and accessories.

(a)
Identification. Single/multiple component metallic bone fixation appliances and accessories are devices intended to be implanted consisting of one or more metallic components and their metallic fasteners. The devices contain a plate, a nail/plate combination, or a blade/plate combination that are made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, stainless steel, and titanium, that are intended to be held in position with fasteners, such as screws and nails, or bolts, nuts, and washers. These devices are used for fixation of fractures of the proximal or distal end of long bones, such as intracapsular, intertrochanteric, intercervical, supracondylar, or condylar fractures of the femur; for fusion of a joint; or for surgical procedures that involve cutting a bone. The devices may be implanted or attached through the skin so that a pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system.(b)
Classification. Class II.

4. Identification of Predicate Device(s) [21 CFR 807.92(a)(3)]

The identified predicate devices within this submission are shown as follow;

  • 510(k) Number: K152158
  • Applicant: Jeil Medical Corporation .
  • Common Name: Bone Plate and Bone Screw ●
  • Device Name: ARIX Ankle System ●

There are no significant differences between the subject device and the predicate devices (K152158) that would adversely affect the use of the product. It is substantially equivalent to these devices in design, function, materials, and operational principles as internal fixation components.

5. Description of the Device [21 CFR 807.92(a)(4)]

The ARIX Ankle System is rigid fixation consisting of plates and screws in various configurations, shapes and sizes.

The ARIX Ankle System is made of Unalloyed Titanium Alloy (Ti-6Al-4V), which meet ASTM F67, Standard Specification for Unalloyed Titanium for Surgical Implant Applications, and ASTM F136, Standard Specification for Wrought Titanium-6 Aluminum-4 Vanadium ELI (Extra Low Interstitial) Alloy for Surgical Implant Applications, which are widely used for surgical implants with well-known biocompatibility.

The plates vary essentially through different lengths and number of plate holes. The screws are self-tapping, which are applied with the reconstruction locking screws together. The Locking Screws are provided with diameter 3.5mm and Cortical Screws are provided with diameter 3.5mm. And both are provided with lengths from 10 mm to 70 mm.

6. Indication for use [21 CFR 807.92(a)(5)]

The ARIX Ankle System(Fibula) is intended for use in internal fixation of the distal fibula.

7. Technological Characteristics [21 CFR 807.92(a)(6)]

ARIX Ankle System:

Based on a technical feature comparison, the subject device was found to be similar to all predicate devices with regard to design and materials. The subject plates also have a variable locking feature, similar to the design used in the predicate device (K152158). The subject plates and screws are manufactured from the same materials as the predicate. The subject plates are similar in lengths, widths and thicknesses and screws are available in similar types, diameters and lengths. The subject plates differ because compression slots were added to the plate shaft and because they contain additional screw holes on the head of the fibula plates. The screw head geometry also slightly differs from the predicate.

Non-Clinical Test Summary:

An engineering analysis was submitted to demonstrate that the subject plates do not present a new worst case for ASTM F382 bending performance. An engineering analysis was provided to demonstrate why the screws do not present a new worst case for ASTM F543 testing. The results of the verification activities indicate that the ARIX Ankle System is equivalent to predicate device.

Clinical Test Summary:

No clinical studies were considered necessary and performed.

8. Conclusion [21 CFR 807.92(b)(3)]

In all respects, the ARIX Ankle System is the equivalent of currently marketed devices. This device is made of same materials and has similar dimensions and characteristics. The ARIX Ankle System is manufactured from the unalloyed titanium and titanium alloy that is used generally in this kind of bone plate and bone screw system. Based on the information submitted, ARIX Ankle System is substantially equivalent to the currently marketed predicate devices.
