No
The device description and intended use focus on the physical components and their function in fixation. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.
Yes
These devices are used for the fixation of ligaments and tendons and are involved in surgical procedures to repair or reconstruct damaged tissues, making them therapeutic by definition.
No
The device is described as being used for the fixation of ligaments and tendons, and other anatomical structures, indicating it is an implantable device used for repair and support, not for diagnosis.
No
The device description explicitly states that the devices are made from a medical grade titanium alloy and may include a suture component, indicating they are physical implants, not software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
- Device Description and Intended Use: The description and intended use clearly state that these devices are implants designed for the fixation of ligaments and tendons within the body during surgical repair. They are physical devices used in vivo (within a living organism), not for testing samples in vitro (in a lab setting).
The information provided focuses on the surgical application and material properties of the implants, not on any diagnostic testing of biological samples.

The Parcus GFS II, GFS Mini, GFS Naked, GFS Ultimate, GFS BTB, ATLAS, Synd-EZ Ti, Actiflip Naked, Actiflip Cinch, Actiflip Whip, and GFS Ultimate Hip were evaluated for use in the MR Environment and were determined to fit the definition of MR Conditional. These titanium implants were evaluated based on the FDA Guidance Document - Establishing Safety and Compatibility of Passive Implants in the Magnetic Resonance (MR) Environment and applicable ASTM standards, and worst-case devices were selected for testing. Devices were tested for magnetically induced force, magnetically induced torque, heating by RF fields, and image artifact.

§ 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)

Dear Mr. Vagts:
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).

existing Parcus Medical devices are proposed except for the inclusion of the MR Conditional parameters into the applicable Instructions for Use. Since the biocompatibility, packaging, shelf-life and sterilization process remain unchanged, no further testing or assessments were needed. LAL testing has been tested on representative samples and it was concluded that the Parcus GFS II, GFS Mini, GFS Naked, GFS Ultimate, GFS BTB, ATLAS, Synd-EZ Ti, Actiflip Naked, Actiflip Cinch, Actiflip Whip, and GFS Ultimate Hip do not raise any additional concern.
Summary Performance Data:
The Parcus GFS II, GFS Mini, GFS Naked, GFS Ultimate, GFS BTB, ATLAS, Synd-EZ Ti, Actiflip Naked, Actiflip Cinch, Actiflip Whip, and GFS Ultimate Hip were evaluated for use in the MR Environment and were determined to fit the definition of MR Conditional. These titanium implants were evaluated based on the FDA Guidance Document - Establishing Safety and Compatibility of Passive Implants in the Magnetic Resonance (MR) Environment and applicable ASTM standards, and worst-case devices were selected for testing. Devices were tested for magnetically induced force, magnetically induced torque, heating by RF fields, and image artifact. The results of this testing have been used to establish the MR system conditions suitable for safe use when these implants are present.
The Parcus GFS II, GFS Mini, GFS Naked, GFS Ultimate, GFS BTB, ATLAS, Synd-EZ Ti, Actiflip Naked, Actiflip Cinch, Actiflip Whip, and GFS Ultimate Hip have been determined to be substantially equivalent to the predicate devices stated above.
