Intended Use
The iFuse TORQ TNT Implant System is indicated for fracture fixation of the pelvis, including acute, non-acute and nontraumatic fractures. The iFuse TORO TNT Implant System is indicated for: - Sacroiliac joint fusion for Sacroiliac joint dysfunction including sacroiliac joint disruption and degenerative sacrollitis. - Augmenting immobilization and stabilization of the sacroiliac joint in skeletally mature patients undergoing sacropelvic fixation as part of a lumbar or thoracolumbar fusion. The iFuse TORO TNT Navigation instruments are intended to be used with the iFuse TORO TNT Implant System to assist the surgeon in precisely locating anatomical structures in iFuse TORQ TNT Implant System procedures, in which the use of stereotactic surgery may be appropriate, and where reference to a rigid anatomical structure, such as the pelvis or vertebra, can be identified relative to the acquired image (CT, MR, 2D fluoroscopic image reconstruction) and/or an image data based model of the anatomy. iFuse TORQ TNT Navigation instruments are intended to be used with the Medtronic StealthStation System.
Device Description
iFuse TORQ TNT System consists of a fully threaded, 3D-printed porous implant with optional washers along with instruments used to place the implant under either fluoroscopic guidance or with certain navigation systems. The implant is made from titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V ELI) and manufactured using 3D printing. The implant has features specific to pelvic anatomy. The subject device is very similar to its primary predicate, iFuse TORQ implant system, except that it is longer in length (up to 170 mm) and smaller in diameter. The longer length enables placement in the transiliac transsacral trajectory.
More Information

Not Found

No
The document does not mention AI, ML, or related concepts like deep learning, neural networks, or training/test sets for algorithms. The navigation system relies on image data and anatomical reference, not AI/ML processing.

Yes

The device is indicated for fracture fixation and joint fusion, which are therapeutic interventions aimed at treating conditions like pelvic fractures and sacroiliac joint dysfunction.

No

The device, iFuse TORQ TNT Implant System, is an implant and instrument system used for fracture fixation and joint fusion. While it mentions navigation instruments that use imaging to assist in surgical procedures, its primary purpose is therapeutic (fixation and fusion) rather than diagnostic (identifying or characterizing a disease or condition).

No

The device description explicitly states that the system consists of a "fully threaded, 3D-printed porous implant with optional washers along with instruments used to place the implant". This indicates the device includes physical hardware components (implants and instruments), not just software. While it mentions navigation instruments used with a navigation system, the core device is the implant and its associated physical instruments.

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 Function: The iFuse TORQ TNT Implant System is a surgical implant and associated instruments used for fracture fixation and joint fusion within the pelvis and spine. It is a device that is physically placed within the body or used to guide the placement of such a device.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical procedure for treating fractures and joint dysfunction, not for analyzing biological samples.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical implant and surgical instruments, not equipment for laboratory testing.

The device is a surgical implant system and navigation tools, which fall under a different category of medical devices than In Vitro Diagnostics.

Yes
FDA's substantial equivalence determination explicitly states the "review and clearance of your Predetermined Change Control Plan (PCCP)".

IV. PURPOSE

This 510(k) includes:

  • A description of testing sufficient to establish substantial equivalence between the subject ■ device and its predicates.
  • . A description of a pre-determined change control plan (PCCP) for adding use of the subject device in 4 new trajectories and a modified version with changes to implant thread length and pitch.

V. DEVICE DESCRIPTION

iFuse TORQ TNT System consists of a fully threaded, 3D-printed porous implant with optional washers along with instruments used to place the implant under either fluoroscopic guidance or with certain navigation systems. The implant is made from titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V ELI) and manufactured using 3D printing. The implant has features specific to pelvic anatomy. The subject device is very similar to its primary predicate, iFuse TORQ implant system, except that it is longer in length (up to 170 mm) and smaller in diameter. The longer length enables placement in the transiliac transsacral trajectory.

VI. INDICATIONS FOR USE

The iFuse TORQ TNT Implant System is indicated for fracture fixation of the pelvis, including acute, non-acute and non-traumatic fractures.

The iFuse TORQ TNT Implant System is indicated for sacroiliac joint fusion for:

  • Sacroiliac joint dysfunction including sacroiliac joint disruption and degenerative sacroiliitis. ●
  • Augmenting immobilization and stabilization of the sacroiliac joint in skeletally mature ● patients undergoing sacropelvic fixation as part of a lumbar or thoracolumbar fusion.

The iFuse TORO TNT Navigation instruments are intended to be used with the iFuse TORO TNT Implant System to assist the surgeon in precisely locating anatomical structures in iFuse TORQ TNT Implant System procedures, in which the use of stereotactic surgery may be appropriate, and where reference to a rigid anatomical structure, such as the pelvis or vertebra, can be identified relative to the acquired image (CT, MR, 2D fluoroscopic image or 3D fluoroscopic image reconstruction) and/or an image data based model of the anatomy. iFuse TORQ TNT Navigation instruments are intended to be used with the Medtronic StealthStation System.

VII. SUMMARY OF SUBSTANTIAL EQUIVALENCE

The subject device is substantially equivalent to its predicate in terms of intended use and indications for use, technological characteristics, materials, manufacturing methods, and principles of operation. The differences in the indication for use statement from the previously cleared legally marketed predicate are not critical to the intended therapeutic, prosthetic, or surgical use of the device. Therefore, based on the intended use, indications for use, technological characteristics, and principles of operation, iFuse TORQ TNT Implant System is substantially equivalent to its predicate device.

  • Static and dynamic cantilever testing per ASTM F2193
  • Torsion, driving torque, and axial pullout per ASTM F543 ●
  • Elemental Analysis per ASTM F3001 ●
  • Stereological evaluation of the porous layer ASTM 1854 and 21 CFR 888.3358
  • . Navigation Instruments Positional Error Verification per ASTM F2554
  • Simulated Use Testing of the navigation instruments ●

Evaluation of design changes do not affect the testing previously conducted on the primary predicate (K203247); this testing leveraged from the iFuse TORQ Implant System (K203247):

  • · Static Shear Testing per ASTM F1044
  • · Shear Fatigue Testing per ASTM F1160 and ISO 13179-1
  • · Static Tensile Testing per ASTM F1147
  • · Abrasion Properties per ASTM F1978

The test results demonstrate that the device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.

TORQ TNT Implant System procedures, in which the use of stereotactic surgery may be appropriate, and where reference to a rigid anatomical structure, such as the pelvis or vertebra, can be identified relative to the acquired image (CT, MR, 2D fluoroscopic image or 3D fluoroscopic image reconstruction) and/or an image data based model of the anatomy. iFuse TORQ TNT Navigation instruments are intended to be used with the Medtronic StealthStation System.

PCCP 2 - modified version. A version of the subject device will be developed, with changes to thread length and pitch. The device will undergo assessment and/or testing similar to that performed for the fully threaded versions cleared herein. Testing will include the following: Fatigue testing per ASTM F2193-20, pullout testing per ASTM F543-23.

X. CONCLUSION

The iFuse TORQ TNT implant is substantially equivalent to its predicate in terms of intended use and indications for use, technological characteristics, materials, manufacturing methods, and principles of operation. Testing has shown substantially equivalent benchtop performance. The difference in the indication for use statement from the previously cleared, legally marketed predicates are not critical to the intended therapeutic, diagnostic, prosthetic, or surgical use of the device. Test results demonstrate that the device is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed device and does not raise different questions of safety and effectiveness than the predicate device.
