Intended Use
The In2Bones USA CoLink® Sfx Implant System is a system of implantable K-wires and caps indicated for temporary fixation and stabilization of bone fractures and reconstructions. In addition, the K-wires can be used as guide pins for insertion of other implants. The caps are indicated for use in the protection of protruding ends of wires.
Device Description
The CoLink® Sfx Implant system is a system of implantable k-wires with tip protectors (caps) used to provide temporary fixation and stabilization of fractured bones of the extremities. The k-wire is made from stainless steel (ASTM F138) and the tip protectors are made from polyethylene. The tip protectors are not implantable and are for protection for protruding ends of wires. These subject devices are part of the overarching CoLink® Plating System.
More Information

No
The summary describes a system of physical implants (K-wires and caps) for temporary bone fixation and stabilization. There is no mention of software, algorithms, image processing, or any terms related to AI/ML.

No
The device is described as providing "temporary fixation and stabilization of bone fractures and reconstructions," which is a supportive rather than a therapeutic function. Therapeutic devices are typically involved in treating or curing a disease or condition, which is not the primary purpose of a temporary fixation device.

No

Explanation: The device is described as a system of K-wires and caps for temporary fixation and stabilization of bone fractures and reconstructions. It does not mention any function related to diagnosing a condition or disease.

No

The device is described as a system of implantable K-wires and caps made from stainless steel and polyethylene, which are physical hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description: The CoLink® Sfx Implant System is a system of implantable K-wires and caps used for the temporary fixation and stabilization of bone fractures and reconstructions. These are physical devices that are inserted into the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for temporary fixation and stabilization of bone fractures and reconstructions, and the use of K-wires as guide pins. This is a surgical/mechanical function, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.

The device description and intended use clearly indicate that this is a surgical implant system, not a diagnostic test performed outside the body.

Summary of Performance Studies

Performance Testing: No additional mechanical testing was required for the CoLink® Sfx Implant System as the subject wires are not considered a worst case based on engineering analysis comparing the subject implants to legally marketed predicates. The protector caps do not require mechanical testing as they will not see any mechanical loading. Validations and risk assessments were conducted for the CoLink® Sfx Implant System for sterilization (ISO 11137-2), biocompatibility (ISO 10993-1), packaging and shelf life (ISO 111607-1) and pyrogenicity (ANSI-AAMI ST72). Bacterial endotoxin testing (LAL) is performed on each lot.

§ 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 Ms. Scifert:

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

Primary Predicate

  • K153204 – In2Bones Kirschner Wire

Additional Predicates

Reference Device

  • o K163293 - CoLink® Plating System
    Similar to the primary predicate device (K153204), the subject CoLink® Sfx Implant System is made of Stainless and provided sterile. The CoLink® Sfx Implant System has similar indications to the New Deal K Wire and K-Fix® (K022599 & K022597) and Wright Medical WMT Implantable K-wires (K132895). This submission is adding k-wires and protective caps to the CoLink® family. The subject k-wires and caps have been demonstrated to be substantially equivalent to the previously cleared devices identified above as the products are similar in indications, materials and geometry.

Performance Testing: No additional mechanical testing was required for the CoLink® Sfx Implant System as the subject wires are not considered a worst case based on engineering analysis comparing the subject implants to legally marketed predicates. The protector caps do not require mechanical testing as they will not see any mechanical loading. Validations and risk assessments were conducted for the CoLink® Sfx Implant System for sterilization (ISO 11137-2), biocompatibility (ISO 10993-1), packaging and shelf life (ISO 111607-1) and pyrogenicity (ANSI-AAMI ST72). Bacterial endotoxin testing (LAL) is performed on each lot.

Conclusion

Based on the test results and the comparison to the predicate devices, the subject device is determined to be substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
