Intended Use
It is intended for use in general orthopedic repairs wherever cerclage wire is indicated.
Device Description
The Acumed Wire Crimp Sleeve is a block with two holes to be used with commonly used cerclage wire. The cerclage wire is passed around the bone, passed through the crimp block, and crimped in a manner identical to the Osteo-Clage Cable System and similar to the Howmedica Dall-Miles Cable System. The only difference being the use of wire instead of cable.

No
The device description and the lack of any mention of AI, ML, or related concepts strongly suggest this is a purely mechanical device.

No.
The device is an orthopedic repair component (a crimp sleeve for cerclage wire) used in surgical procedures, but it does not directly provide therapy for a disease or condition. It is a tool for mechanical stabilization.

No

Explanation: The device description clearly states its purpose is for "general orthopedic repairs wherever cerclage wire is indicated," and it details a physical mechanism for securing bones. This points to a therapeutic or surgical function, not a diagnostic one. There is no mention of analysis, measurement, or assessment of a medical condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "block with two holes" used with "cerclage wire," indicating a physical, hardware-based medical device.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description: The Acumed Wire Crimp Sleeve is a physical device used in orthopedic surgery to secure cerclage wire around bone. It is used directly on the patient's body during a surgical procedure.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "general orthopedic repairs wherever cerclage wire is indicated," which is a surgical application, not a diagnostic test performed on a specimen.

The description clearly indicates a surgical implant/accessory, not a device for analyzing biological samples.

MAY - 3 1996

This summary regarding 510(k) safety and effectiveness information is being submitted in accordance with the requirements of SMDA 1990 and 21 CFR 807.93.

The Acumed Wire Crimp Sleeve is a block with two holes to be used with commonly used cerclage wire. The cerclage wire is passed around the bone, passed through the crimp block, and crimped in a manner identical to the Osteo-Clage Cable System and similar to the Howmedica Dall-Miles Cable System. The only difference being the use of wire instead of cable. It is intended for use in general orthopedic repairs wherever cerclage wire is indicated.

The sleeve is manufactured from titanium per ASTM F 136. It is intended for use with titanium or cobalt chromium cerclage wire.

Information regarding implantation, packaging, and labeling have been provided.

This medical device is identical except for material type to the Acumed Cerclage Wire Crimp (K931246). Both the Acumed Cerclage Wire Crimp and the Richards Orthopedic Cable System are manufactured from titanium. In addition, the Acumed Cerclage Wire Crimp may be found substantially equivalent to the Osteo-Clage Cable System and the Howmedica Dall-Miles Cable System, is safe and effective, and is expected to perform as well as similar devices.
