The device description and performance studies focus on mechanical properties and surgical implantation, with no mention of AI or ML.
Yes
The device is described as a "three-part construct intended for internal fixation for First Metatarsophalangeal Joint Arthrodesis," which is a repair or healing of an injury or disease, fitting the definition of a therapeutic device.
No
The device is an orthopedic implant system intended for internal fixation for First Metatarsophalangeal Joint Arthrodesis, which is a treatment, not a diagnostic procedure.
No
The device description clearly states it consists of physical components (post, screws, instruments) made of Ti-6Al-4V alloy, which are implanted into the body. This is a hardware medical device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for "internal fixation for First Metatarsophalangeal Joint Arthrodesis (also known as 1st MPJ Fusion)." This describes a surgical procedure to fuse bones, not a test performed on samples from the human body to diagnose or monitor a condition.
- Device Description: The device is a "three-part construct intended for internal fixation" consisting of a post and screws. These are physical implants used in surgery.
- 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.
IVD devices are used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device is used in vivo (inside the body) for a surgical procedure.

Device Description
The InCore MPJ System consists of a post and two headless compression screws. Posts are available with a 4.9mm diameter, in an 18mm length, and left orientations. Screws are available in a 2.7mm diameter and lengths of 16 to 52mm. The post is inserted into the metatarsal head and compression screws are inserted into the phalange 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 system is provided with a set of accessory instruments designed for preparation of the implant site and insertion of the implants into bone.

§ 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 Elise Fox:
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
