Intended Use
The Paragon 28 Patient Specific Marking Guide is intended to be used as a surgical instrument to assist in preoperative planning and/or in guiding the marking of bone and/or in guiding surgical instruments in non-acute, non-joint replacing osteotomies for adult patients in the foot ankle. The Patient Specific Guide is not intended to directly guide the cutting of bone. The device is single use only.
Device Description
The Paragon 28 Patient Specific Marking Guides are designed and additively manufactured based on an individual patient's CT scan(s). In surgery, these guides, templates, or anatomical models are used to assist a surgeon in guiding the marking of a bone and/or guiding a surgical instrument for placement (i.e., placing a k-wire). The guides are not used for cutting bone. All guides are patient specific and utilize a CT scanning protocol previously cleared in K180239 (Paragon 28 formerly Additive Orthopaedics). The anatomical landmarks necessary for the design and creation of the Patient Specific Marking Guides must be present and identifiable on computed tomography scan. The Paragon 28 Patient Specific Marking Guides are additively manufactured from biocompatible nylon (PA 2200 - polyamide 12 white) and produced by laser sintering. The Patient Specific Marking Guides are optional for surgeons to help visualize and plan osteotomies in the foot and ankle and are for single use only.
More Information

No
The description focuses on patient-specific design based on CT scans and additive manufacturing, without mentioning AI or ML algorithms for image analysis, planning, or guide generation.

No.
The device is a surgical instrument intended to assist in preoperative planning and guiding surgical procedures, not directly treat a disease or condition.

No

Explanation: The device is a surgical marking guide used for pre-operative planning and guiding surgical instruments, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states the device is "additively manufactured from biocompatible nylon" and is a physical guide used in surgery, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Function: The Paragon 28 Patient Specific Marking Guide is a surgical instrument used during surgery to assist in planning and guiding the marking of bone or surgical instruments. It does not analyze any biological specimens.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's a surgical instrument for assisting in preoperative planning and guiding surgical actions, not for analyzing samples for diagnostic purposes.

The device is a patient-specific surgical guide, which falls under the category of medical devices used in surgical procedures.

§ 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.

Dear Jan Triani:

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

The predicate devices have not been the subject of any design related recall.

5. DEVICE DESCRIPTION

The Paragon 28 Patient Specific Marking Guides are designed and additively manufactured based on an individual patient's CT scan(s). In surgery, these guides, templates, or anatomical models are used to assist a surgeon in guiding the marking of a bone and/or guiding a surgical instrument for placement (i.e., placing a k-wire). The guides are not used for cutting bone. All guides are patient specific and utilize a CT scanning protocol previously cleared in K180239 (Paragon 28 formerly Additive Orthopaedics). The anatomical landmarks necessary for the design and creation of the Patient Specific Marking Guides must be present and identifiable on computed tomography scan.

The Paragon 28 Patient Specific Marking Guides are additively manufactured from biocompatible nylon (PA 2200 - polyamide 12 white) and produced by laser sintering. The Patient Specific Marking Guides are optional for surgeons to help visualize and plan osteotomies in the foot and ankle and are for single use only.

6. INDICATIONS FOR USE

The Paragon 28 Patient Specific Marking Guide is intended to be used as a surgical instrument to assist in preoperative planning and/or in guiding the marking of bone and/or in guiding surgical instruments in non-acute, non-joint replacing osteotomies for adult patients in the foot and ankle. The Patient Specific Guide is not intended to directly guide the cutting of bone. The device is single use only.

7. COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTI S WITH THE PREDICATE DEVICE

Technological Characteristics Comparison

The Patient Specific Marking Guides and the legally marketed predicate devices have similar indications, and manufacturing process. The dimensions and geometry of the Patient Specific Marking Guides are patient specific, utilizing a previously cleared CT scanning protocol. Both the subject and predicate devices' dimensions and geometry are made based on the patient's anatomy.

Substantial Equivalence Non-Clinical Evidence

The intended use and technological characteristics of the subject device are substantially equivalent to the predicate device. The potential impact of a technological difference, for instance polymeric material grade, was addressed by the biocompatibility testing per ISO 10993-1.

8. SUMMARY OF PERFORMANCE TESTING

The testing outlined below was intended to show that the output of the design and development process demonstrated compliance with the device specifications. Biocompatibility testing was conducted to prove the device is not toxic and safe for limited (
