No
The summary describes a mechanical implant system and does not mention any software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.
Yes
The device is intended for fixation and fusion of the sacroiliac joint to treat disruptions and degenerative sacroiliitis, which are medical conditions, thereby providing a therapeutic effect.
No
The device is a surgical fixation system intended for musculoskeletal fusion, not for diagnosing medical conditions.
No
The device description clearly states it is a "temporary multiple component system consisting of non-sterile instruments, sterile 11mm and 12mm FIREBIRD SI Screws and non-sterile 9mm FIREBIRD SI Screws." These are physical hardware components, not software.
Based on the provided information, the FIREBIRD SI Fusion System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for the fixation and fusion of the sacroiliac joint, which is a surgical procedure performed directly on the patient's body. IVD devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the body to provide information about a person's health.
- Device Description: The device is a system of screws and instruments designed for surgical implantation. This is characteristic of a medical device used in treatment, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, providing diagnostic information, or any of the typical components or processes associated with IVD devices.
The FIREBIRD SI Fusion System is clearly a surgical implant/device used for treatment, not a diagnostic tool.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The FIREBIRD SI Fusion System is intended for fixation of sacroiliac joint disruptions, and intended for sacroliac joint fusion for conditions including sacroiliac joint disruptions and degenerative sacroiliitis.

Device Description
The FIREBIRD SI Fusion System (formally SambaScrew 3D SI Fusion System) is a temporary multiple component system consisting of non-sterile instruments, sterile 11mm and 12mm FIREBIRD SI Screws and non-sterile 9mm FIREBIRD SI Screws. The FIREBIRD SI Screws are manufactured from medical-grade titanium alloy (Ti-6AI-4V ELI) with lengths ranging from 25mm to 70mm.
The 11mm FIREBIRD SI Screw is a cannulated screw featuring multiple fenestrations along the shaft, with a tapered proximal end and dual-pitch threads. The 12mm FIREBIRD SI Scew is a cannulated screw featuring multiple fenestrations along the shaft, with a single pitch thread on the proximal and distal ends. The 11mm and 12mm FIREBIRD SI Screws are 3D printed with a mid-shaft porous region. The porous titanium region has open macroscopic 3D pores with a microscopic roughened surface. The 9mm FIREBIRD SI Screw features multiple fenestrations along the shaft and maintains a single pitch thread along the proximal and distal ends of the screw.
The FIREBIRD SI Fusion System allows for packing of autograft and allograft materials.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
The performance data of the FIREBIRD SI Fusion System are unchanged since the prior clearance K200696. No new mechanical testing was performed for the FIREBIRD SI Fusion System as there are no design changes to the device.
Nano-surface descriptors are supported by surface characterization and in vitro cellular studies using HMSCs and normal human osteoblasts (NHOst) cells previously cleared under the predicate K200052. The in vitro study results cleared under the predicate K200052 demonstrated that the PTC modified surface experienced an increased proliferation and alkaline phosphatase activity (an early osteogenic differentiation marker) in human stem cells compared to the other surfaces.
The representative surface characterization and in vitro studies from the predicate K200052 substantiate the proposed labeling changes due to equivalent design, material and manufacturing processes.

§ 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 Jacki Koch:
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
1
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 (QS) 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.
