No
The summary describes a mechanical implant and surgical instrumentation, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.
Yes
The device is described as a "radial head prosthesis" used for replacement of the radial head due to various disabilities and injuries, indicating it is used to treat or alleviate a medical condition.
No
The device description and intended use indicate that the Align Radial Head System is a prosthesis designed for replacement of the radial head. It is a treatment device, not one that gathers or analyzes data for diagnosis.
No
The device description explicitly states it consists of physical components like modular heads, locking screws, stems, necks, and specialized instrumentation, which are hardware.
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, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Description: The Align Radial Head System is a prosthetic implant designed to replace the radial head in the elbow joint. It is a physical device implanted into the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes the replacement of a damaged anatomical structure within the body, not the analysis of bodily specimens.
Therefore, based on the provided information, the Align Radial Head System is a surgical implant, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Dear Alexandra Rodriguez Rojas:
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 (the 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 available 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.
Additional information about changes that may require a new premarket notification are provided in the FDA guidance documents entitled "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99812/download) and "Deciding When to Submit a 510(k) for a Software Change to an Existing Device" (https://www.fda.gov/media/99785/download).

Device Description
The subject Align Radial Head System and the predicate Align Radial Head System (K172688) are a radial head prosthesis and instrumentation platform that is designed to orient the radial head perpendicular to the axis of forearm rotation. It consists of cobalt chrome modular heads in different sizes with cobalt chrome locking screws, titanium alloy stems, necks, and specialized instrumentation.
Indications for Use
The Align Radial Head System and accessories are designed specifically for:
- Replacement of the radial head for degenerative or post-traumatic disabilities presenting pain, crepitation, and decreased motion at the radio-humeral and/or proximal radio-ulnar joint with:
- o Joint destruction and/or subluxation,
- o Resistance to conservative treatment.
- · Primary replacement after fracture of the radial head.
- · Symptomatic sequelae after radial head resection.
- · Revision following failed radial head arthroplasty.
The system is intended for press fit use.
The device has the same intended use and indications for use as the Company's predicate Align Radial Head System (K172688). Thus, the Align Radial Head System satisfies the first criterion for substantial equivalence.

Summary of Technological Characteristics
The technological characteristics of the Align Radial Head System are substantially equivalent to the predicate device as demonstrated by similarities in intended use, indications for use, materials, design (fundamental scientific technology), performance, sterility and does not present any new issues of safety or effectiveness. Both, the subject and predicate Align Radial Head Systems are designed to orient the radial head perpendicular to the axis of forearm rotation. Both consist of cobalt chrome modular heads in different sizes with cobalt chrome locking screws, titanium alloy stems, necks, and specialized instrumentation. The only technological difference between the predicate and subject Align Radial Head System is the new radial head and stem sizes.
Performance Testing
Mechanical testing which established equivalency included static and fatigue compression testing. Based on the verification results, the subject device is as safe and effective as the legally marketed predicate Align Radial Head System (K172688).
Conclusions
The Skeletal Dynamic's Align Radial Head System is substantially equivalent to the predicate device identified in this premarket notification.
