Intended Use
The W-Tracker is a bi-axial wrist-joint movement assessment device mounted on a forearm and hand. Specifically, it measures angular range of motion and velocity in two planes. The Clinical Analysis protocol requires the subject to perform a series of wrist movements, including wrist flexion/extension and ulnar/radial deviation, each to be performed by the subject at his/her preferred speed. The data obtained during the Clinical Analysis protocol is real-time data, and is immediately transferred from the W-Tracker to the computer via an A/D conversion device to a serial port. The goals of the device when performing the Clinical Analysis protocol is to compile information related to tests devised by the AMA to measure impairment of wrist joints, and to compare performance profiles of normal and injured populations.
Device Description
The W-Tracker is a bi-axial wrist-joint movement assessment device mounted on a forearm and hand. Specifically, it measures angular range of motion and velocity in two planes. The data obtained during the Clinical Analysis protocol is real-time data, and is immediately transferred from the W-Tracker to the computer via an A/D conversion device to a serial port. The W-Tracker does not initiate or control any movement during a test and it does not induce any forces on the subject. It is, therefore, a passive device. The only forces acting on the subject are the negligible inertial forces of the W-Tracker generated by the subject's wrist movements. The device is fail-safe in design to obviate safety concerns for the subject.

No
The description focuses on data acquisition and transfer, with no mention of AI/ML algorithms for analysis or interpretation.

No
The device measures angular range of motion and velocity to compile information and compare performance profiles, but it does not initiate or control movement, induce forces, or provide any therapy.

Yes

The device measures angular range of motion and velocity to "compile information related to tests devised by the AMA to measure impairment of wrist joints, and to compare performance profiles of normal and injured populations," which are diagnostic purposes.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "bi-axial wrist-joint movement assessment device mounted on a forearm and hand" and mentions "real-time data... immediately transferred from the W-Tracker to the computer via an A/D conversion device to a serial port," indicating the presence of physical hardware components beyond just software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body. The W-Tracker measures the physical movement of a wrist joint. It does not analyze blood, tissue, urine, or any other biological sample.
  • The intended use is to assess wrist joint movement and compare performance profiles. This is a physical assessment, not a diagnostic test performed on a biological sample.

The W-Tracker is a device used for physical assessment and measurement of movement, not for in vitro diagnostic testing.

Dear Dr. McIntyre:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to 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). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. 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.
