The summary describes a mechanical staple system made of a superelastic alloy. There is no mention of software, algorithms, image processing, or any terms related to AI/ML. The performance studies are mechanical and corrosion tests, not related to algorithmic performance.
Yes
The device is described as an implantable staple system intended for fixation and arthrodesis of bone fragments in the hand and foot, with the goal of allowing bone healing to occur. These are therapeutic actions.
No
The device is described as an implantable metallic staple system used for fixation and joint arthrodesis in hand and foot bone fragments, osteotomies, and fractures. Its purpose is to physically stabilize bones to allow healing, not to diagnose medical conditions.
No
The device description explicitly states it is comprised of implantable metallic staples and accessory instrumentation, which are hardware components.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
- Device Description: The description clearly states that the COGNITION Staple System is comprised of "implantable metallic staples and accessory instrumentation." These are devices that are surgically placed within the body to fix bones.
- Intended Use: The intended use is for "hand and foot bone fragments, osteotomy, fixation and joint arthrodesis." This describes surgical procedures, not laboratory testing of samples.
The device is a surgical implant used for orthopedic fixation, not a diagnostic tool that analyzes biological samples.

Device Description
The COGNITION Staple System is comprised of a set of implantable metallic (Superelastic NiTi Alloy per ASTM F2063) staples and accessory instrumentation. The system consists of a series of two and four-leg staples of various bridge and leg lengths. Each staple is provided to the user in a relaxed state with the staple legs in a converging position. During the staple insertion step, the provided staple driver is used to splay the staple legs, allowing for implantation across the fracture, fusion, or osteotomy site. The staple legs then have the inherent propensity to converge due to the superelastic nature of the NiTi material. This stability is intended to allow for bone healing to occur.

| Legally Marketed Predicate Devices: | |
| Predicate Number: | K111678 |
| Predicate Trade Name: | Ortho Solutions Extremity Fixation Implants for Osteosynthesis |
| Device Description Summary: | The COGNITION Staple System is comprised of a set of implantable metallic |
| (Superelastic NiTi Alloy per ASTM F2063) staples and accessory instrumentation. | |
| The system consists of a series of two and four-leg staples of various bridge and | |
| leg lengths. Each staple is provided to the user in a relaxed state with the staple | |
| legs in a converging position. During the staple insertion step, the provided staple | |
| driver is used to splay the staple legs, allowing for implantation across the fracture, | |
| fusion, or osteotomy site. The staple legs then have the inherent propensity to | |
| converge due to the superelastic nature of the NiTi material. This stability is | |
| intended to allow for bone healing to occur. | |
| Intended Use/Indications for Use: | The Ortho Solutions COGNITION™ Staple System is indicated for hand and foot |
| bone fragments, osteotomy, fixation and joint arthrodesis. The COGNITION™ | |
| Staple System is not intended for spinal use. | |
| Indications for Use Comparison: | The overall content of the indications for use of the subject device is substantially |
| equivalent to the predicate device (per K111678) when comparing the overall | |
| intentions of the system, with the subject device's indications for use statement | |
| being simplified to exclude the indication of fixating soft tissue to bone. Through | |
| post market monitoring that OrthoSolutions has completed, we know that the | |
| predicate staple system is not being used for the fixation of soft tissue to bone. | |
| Otherwise, the content/meaning of the latest indications for use statements are | |
| identical with both the subject and the predicate device being indicated for hand | |
| and foot bone fragments, osteotomy, fixation and joint arthrodesis. | |
| Technological Comparison: | The components that are the subject of this 510(k) are substantially equivalent to |
| the K111678 Ortho Solutions Extremity Fixation Implants for Osteosynthesis | |
| predicate and the new components do not raise any new issues of safety or | |
| effectiveness. The subject device has the same technological characteristics as the | |
| original device including the same materials, chemical composition, | |
| manufacturing methods, austenite finish temperature, and a similar size range as | |
| the Ortho Solutions predicate. Other than the change in trade name, there are no | |
| substantial changes to the device labeling. | |
| The new implants utilize the same sterilization method and equivalent implant | |
| packaging as the original device. The new COGNITION class 1 accessory | |
| instruments will utilize the same method of sterilization as the predicate Memo | |
| device instruments - Steam Sterilization. | |
| The shelf-life of the subject COGNITION staples is equivalent to the predicate | |
| Ortho Solutions Memo Staples. | |
| The new staples utilize a similar set of class 1 accessory instrumentation with the | |
| addition of a countersink, k-wires and an osteotome. | |
| There are no new patient contacting materials, new points of contact between | |
| dissimilar metals, or alternative manufacturing techniques/processes being | |
| introduced into the subject system that were not previously included in the | |
| predicate Ortho Solutions device. Therefore, there are no changes to device | |
| biocompatibility. | |
| Non-Clinical and/or Clinical Tests | |
| Summary & Conclusions: | Mechanical Testing was completed per ASTM F564 Annex A1 and Annex A4. |
| Corrosion testing was completed per ASTM F2129-19a. The results of these tests | |
| indicated that the COGNITION device is superior with regards to static bending | |
| strength, constant amplitude bending resistance, and corrosion resistance. |
