None

No
The summary does not mention AI, ML, image processing, or any other technology typically associated with AI/ML in medical devices. The intended use and anatomical site suggest a surgical fixation device, which is generally mechanical.

No
The device is described as being used for "Osteotomy or fracture fixation," which suggests it is an orthopedic fixation device. These devices are used to immobilize and stabilize bones after surgery or fracture, assisting in the healing process rather than directly treating a disease or condition in the way a therapeutic drug or therapy might.

No
The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" describes a condition (Hallux Valgus) and a procedure (Osteotomy or fracture fixation), which are treatments or descriptions of a state, not a diagnostic process. There is no mention of identifying, classifying, or quantifying a disease or condition.

Unknown

The provided 510(k) summary lacks a device description, which is crucial for determining if the device is software-only or includes hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use describes the device's application in treating a physical condition (Hallux Valgus) and fixing bones (osteotomy or fracture fixation). This is a therapeutic or surgical application, not a diagnostic one.
  • Anatomical Site: The anatomical sites mentioned (great toe, small bones of the hand or foot) are where the device is used on the patient, not where a sample is taken from the patient for analysis.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description lacks any mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing information about a patient's health status based on such analysis, which are hallmarks of IVD devices.

Therefore, this device appears to be a surgical or orthopedic device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

§ 888.3030 Single/multiple component metallic bone fixation appliances and accessories.

(a)
Identification. Single/multiple component metallic bone fixation appliances and accessories are devices intended to be implanted consisting of one or more metallic components and their metallic fasteners. The devices contain a plate, a nail/plate combination, or a blade/plate combination that are made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, stainless steel, and titanium, that are intended to be held in position with fasteners, such as screws and nails, or bolts, nuts, and washers. These devices are used for fixation of fractures of the proximal or distal end of long bones, such as intracapsular, intertrochanteric, intercervical, supracondylar, or condylar fractures of the femur; for fusion of a joint; or for surgical procedures that involve cutting a bone. The devices may be implanted or attached through the skin so that a pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system.(b)
Classification. Class II.

Dear Mr. Welch:

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 Requlations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. ਜ substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with ………… the current Good Manufacturing Practice requirement, as set forth in the Quality System Regulation (QS) for Medical' Devices: General regulation (21 CFR Part 820) and that, through periodic (QS) 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.
