Intended Use
The Smith & Nephew ACCORD Cable System is indicated for use in general orthopaedic repair procedures including general cerclage of the femur, trochanteric reattachment, fixation of fractures in conjunction with intramedullary prosthesis (i.e., femoral stem) and screw fixation techniques.
Device Description
The ACCORD Cable System includes cables (with or without clamps), trochanteric grips, and plates. (K223762). The Smith & Nephew ACCORD Cable System consists of Cobalt Chrome cables (without clamps) to be used with the ACCORD Titanium trochanteric grips or ACCORD Titanium plates and also Stainless Steel and Cobalt Chrome cables with clamps to be used alone. These materials are identical to the material that has been previously cleared in K223762, K031162, and K993106. The implants within this system are single-use and are Gamma sterilized.
More Information

Not Found

No
The document explicitly states "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML: Not Found" and the device description focuses on mechanical components and materials.

No
The device is described for orthopaedic repair procedures such as cerclage, reattachment, and fixation of fractures, which are structural repairs, not therapeutic interventions.

No

Explanation: The device is an implantable cable system used for orthopedic repairs and fracture fixation, which are therapeutic rather than diagnostic procedures.

No

The device description explicitly lists physical components (cables, trochanteric grips, plates) made of materials like Cobalt Chrome and Titanium, indicating it is a hardware-based medical device.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical device used for orthopedic repair procedures (cerclage, fracture fixation, etc.). This is a direct intervention on the body, not a test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The device consists of cables, grips, and plates, which are implants used in surgery.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, tissue, etc.), detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. This device does not fit that description.

Dear Anne Remington:

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).

Intended Use/Indications for Use

The Smith & Nephew ACCORD Cable System is indicated for use in general orthopaedic repair procedures including general cerclage of the femur, trochanteric reattachment, fixation of fractures in conjunction with intramedullary prosthesis (i.e., femoral stem) and screw fixation techniques.

Indications for Use Comparison

The purpose of this Traditional 510(k) is to notify the FDA of our intent to request clearance for changes to Smith & Nephew's ACCORD Cable System labeling, including updated indications.

The main change described in this 510(k) is removal of indications that were not previously used or are not applicable to the subject devices from the Instructions for Use (K223762) to meet EU MDR requirements.

The Smith & Nephew ACCORD Cable System is identical in function, design features,

materials, sterilization, packaging methods and operational principles to the commercially available predicate devices Smith & Nephew ACCORD Cable System (K223762), Smith & Nephew Orthopaedic Cabling System (K031162), and Smith & Nephew Bone Plate System (K993106).

Technological Comparison

The overall technological characteristic including device devices are identical to the predicates cleared under the premarket notifications Smith & Nephew ACCORD Cable System (K223762), Smith & Nephew Orthopaedic Cabling System (K031162), and Smith & Nephew Bone Plate System (K993106). As a result, all relevant testing makes references to existing information previously provided to the agency.

Non-Clinical and/or Clinical Tests Summary & Conclusions 21 CFR 807.92(b)

The purpose of this traditional 510(k) is to request clearance from FDA for labeling changes to the subject Smith & Nephew ACCORD System implants.

The subject Smith & Nephew ACCORD Cable System devices are identical in function, design features, materials, packaging, sterilization, manufacturing methods and operational principles to what was previously 510(k) cleared (K223762, K031162, These labeling updates do not affect the safety and effectiveness of the subject devices when used as labeled.

Therefore, since there are no changes to the design features, or manufacturing methods of the subject ACCORD Cable System devices, no performance testing (bench, animal, clinical) was required.

Not Applicable.

No modifications are being introduced to the subject devices as a result of this filing. The subject devices are substantially equivalent to the previously 510(k) cleared predicate devices (K223762, K031162, K993106).
