The summary describes a mechanical fixation system with no mention of software, algorithms, or any technology related to AI/ML.
No
The device is used for fixation of bone fragments and bone reconstruction, which are structural repair functions rather than direct treatment or prevention of disease.
No
The device is intended for fixation of bone fragments or for bone reconstruction, which is a therapeutic rather than diagnostic purpose.
No
The device description explicitly lists hardware components: a K-wire, a protective cap, and an applicator/handle.
Based on the provided information, the OrthoTec K-Cap System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for "fixation of bone fragments or for bone reconstruction, while providing protection to neighboring tissues." This describes a surgical or orthopedic device used directly on the patient's body, not a test performed on samples taken from the body (which is the definition of an IVD).
- Device Description: The components (K-wire, protective cap, applicator/handle) are all physical devices used in a surgical context.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting substances, or providing diagnostic information based on in vitro testing.
Therefore, the OrthoTec K-Cap System is a medical device, but it falls under a different category than In Vitro Diagnostics.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use

§ 888.3040 Smooth or threaded metallic bone fixation fastener.
(a)
Identification. A smooth or threaded metallic bone fixation fastener is a device intended to be implanted that consists of a stiff wire segment or rod made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum and stainless steel, and that may be smooth on the outside, fully or partially threaded, straight or U-shaped; and may be either blunt pointed, sharp pointed, or have a formed, slotted head on the end. It may be used for fixation of bone fractures, for bone reconstructions, as a guide pin for insertion of other implants, or it may be implanted through the skin so that a pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system.(b)
Classification. Class II.

Re : K971453 OrthoTec K-Cap System Regulatory Class: II Product Code: HTY Dated: April 15, 1997 Received: April 21, 1997
Dear Dr. Bertranou:
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.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (Premarket Approval), it may be subject to such additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Good Manufacturing Practice for Medical Devices: General (GMP) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic GMP inspections, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will verify such assumptions. Failure to comply with the GMP regulation may result in regulatory action. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register. Please note: this response to your premarket notification submission does not affect any obligation you might have under sections 531 through 542 of the Act for devices under the Electronic Product Radiation Control provisions, or other Federal laws or regulations.

This letter will allow you to begin marketing your device as described in your 510(k) premarket notification. The FDA finding of substantial equivalence of your device to a legally marketed predicate device results in a classification for your device and thus, permits your device to proceed to the market.
If you desire specific advice for your device on our labeling regulation (21 CFR Part 801 and additionally 809.10 for in vitro diagnostic devices), please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4659. Additionally, for questions on the promotion and advertising of your device, please contact the Office of Compliance at (301) 594-4639. Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to Other qeneral information on your responsibilities under the Act may be obtained from the Division of Small Manufacturers Assistance at its toll-free number (800) 638-2041 or (301) 443-6597 or at its internet address "http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/dsmamain.html".
