No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical properties and equivalence to a predicate device, with no mention of AI/ML or related concepts.
No.
The device is used for internal fixation of the distal fibula, providing structural support rather than directly treating a disease or condition.
No
The ARIX Ankle System is an internal fixation device (plates and screws) used for surgical repair of the distal fibula. Its purpose is to physically stabilize a broken bone, not to identify or determine a medical condition.
No
The device description explicitly states it is a system of plates and screws made of titanium alloy, which are physical hardware components.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is "internal fixation of the distal fibula." This describes a surgical implant used to stabilize a bone fracture.
- Device Description: The device is described as "rigid fixation consisting of plates and screws." This is consistent with a surgical implant.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD device is used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not interact with bodily specimens in this way.
- Bench Testing: The performance studies described are bench tests on the physical properties of the plates and screws, not tests on biological samples.
Therefore, based on the provided information, the ARIX Ankle 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)
Classification. Class II.

Dear Dajung Lee:
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.
