No
The 510(k) summary describes a mechanical implant system for ankle syndesmosis repair and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI or ML.
Yes
The device is intended to provide fixation and aid in the healing process following a syndesmotic trauma, which directly addresses a medical condition and facilitates recovery.
No
The device is described as an "Acumed Ankle Syndesmosis Repair System" intended to provide fixation during the healing process following a syndesmotic trauma. It is a surgical implant designed for repair, not for diagnosing a condition.
No
The device description clearly states it includes physical components such as buttons, suture, a driver, and optional washers and a drill, all made of specific materials. It also describes performance testing related to these physical components (fatigue, insertion, MRI compatibility, endotoxin, shelf-life). This indicates it is a hardware medical 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 taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Description and Intended Use: The Acumed Ankle Syndesmosis Repair System is a surgical implant designed to provide mechanical fixation during the healing process of ankle syndesmosis injuries. It is physically implanted into the body.
- Lack of Specimen Analysis: The description and intended use do not involve the analysis of any biological specimens.
Therefore, based on the provided information, the Acumed Ankle Syndesmosis Repair System is a surgical implant, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 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)

Indications for Use Comparison
21 CFR 807.92(a)(5)
The Acumed Ankle Syndesmosis Repair System has been compared to the Arthrex Tight Rope Syndesmosis Device within this 510(k) submission. The basis of substantial equivalence for the predicate device is their similarities in intended use, material, technology, operating principles, anatomical site for implantation, performance, and design. The analysis of differences between the subject device and predicate device supports substantial equivalence as the differences do not constitute a new intenced use, and the information included within the subject device is che subject device is comparable to the predicate device and does not raise different questions of safety or effectiveness.
The Acumed Ankle Syndesmosis Repair System has the same indications for use as the Arthrex TightRope Syndesmosis System. Both have two buttons and a suture intended for a flexible fixation between the distal tibia and fibula across the ankle syndesmosis. Both the predicate and subject devices are intended for single use only.
Technological Comparison
21 CFR 807.92(a)(6)
The subject device has the same technological characteristics as the predicate and subject devices make use of a suture to provide flexible flxation between the buttons located on the outer cortices of the distal tibia and fibula. Both the subject and predicate device deposit the tibial button on the outer through a bone hole that has been drilled from the lateral side. Although the mechanism of deposit varies between the predicate and subject devices, the final construct of the implant placement is the same between the predicate and subject devices
The Acumed Ankle Syndesmosis Repair System buttons are material as the buttons in the Arthrex TightRope Syndesmosis Device, titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4) per ASTM F136), Both predicate and subject devices make use of a UHMWE suture.
The subject device incorporates the same basic design as the predicate device, a tibial button is configured in an oblong shape to be passed through a 3.5 mm drill hole to be installed on the outer tibial cortex with two flat wings on elther side of a suture retaining feature. In each device, the fibula button is configured in a primarily round design to be installed on the outer and is sized to be compatible with various plates used in fibula fracture fixation. The dimensions of each button are comparable, resulting in no difference in performance between the predicate and subject devices .
Some minor differences exist in the basic shape, design, and technology; however, the performance evaluation demonstrates that the subject device is equivalent to the predicate device
Non-Clinical and/or Clinical Tests Summary & Conclusions 21 CFR 807.92(b)
Static and Dynamic fatigue testing was conducted to demonstrate that the Syndesmosis Repair System performs statistically equivalent to the predicate device, Arthrex TightRope Syndesmosis System cleared under K043248. Additionally, insertion testing was done to confirm that the subject device performed adequately per the indication.
MRI force, torque, and image artifact testing were conducted in accordance with ASTM F2052 Standard Test Method for Measurement of Magnetically Induced Displacement Force on Medical Devices in the Magnetic Resonance Environment, ASTM F21 19 Standard Test Method for Evaluation of MR Image Artifacts from Passive Implants, ASTM F2182 Standard Test Method for Measurement of Measurement of Radio Frequency Induced Heating Near Passive Implants During Magnetic Resonance Imaging and ASTM F2213 Standard Test Method for Measurement of Magnetically Induced Torque on Medical Devices in the Magnetic Resonance Environment.
Endotoxin testing (LAL and MMP) was conducted and met the requirement of
