The device description focuses on the material composition and mechanical function of plates, meshes, and screws for bone stabilization. There is no mention of any computational or analytical capabilities that would suggest the use of AI or ML.
Yes
The device is intended to stabilize bone during healing in trauma and reconstructive procedures of the midface and craniofacial skeleton, which is a therapeutic function.
No
Explanation: The device is intended for use in stabilizing bone during healing in trauma and reconstructive procedures, not for diagnosing conditions.
No
The device description explicitly details physical components such as plates, meshes, screws, bone taps, screwdrivers, and plate benders, all made from a specific copolymer. These are tangible hardware components used in surgical procedures.
Based on the provided information, the BioSorbFX System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is for "trauma and reconstructive procedures in the midface and craniofacial skeleton" and is used to "stabilize bone during healing." This is a surgical intervention on the body, not a test performed on samples taken from the body.
- Device Description: The description details plates, meshes, and screws made from a bioabsorbable copolymer. These are physical implants used to fix bone.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
Therefore, the BioSorbFX System is a surgical implant device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description
The BioSorbFX System contains various plates, meshes and screws that are made from poly-L/D,L-lactide ("P(L/DL)LA") copolymer, which consists of 70 molar percent poly-L lactide and 30 molar percent poly-D,L-lactide. Plates and meshes are provided as either straight-edged or scalloped edged of varying thickness, lengths, and shapes (e.g., rectangular, straight line, X-, L-, and C-shape). The plates are sized to be secured to the midface or craniofacial skeleton with a 1.5mm or 2.0mm bioabsorbable fastener (i.e., threaded screw). The BioSorbFX System is supplied pyrogen free and sterile following gamma radiation sterilization and is not intended to be resterilized by the user.
The BioSorbFX System is used in standard surgical procedures for reconstructive surgery or in the treatment of fractures of the midface and craniofacial skeletons. In conjunction with adequate surgical technique, the appropriate sized bioabsorbable craniofacial plates are used to stabilize bone fragments by attachment of the plate to the bones with plate fasteners (i.e., threaded screws). The BioSorbFX fasteners are inserted through the predrilled, counter sunk plate holes following drilling, pre-tapping, and flushing of the corresponding holes in the midface or craniofacial skeleton using standard surgical technique. The BioSorbFX fastener holds the BioSorbFX plate securely in place to allow for biological healing of the midface or craniofacial skeleton fracture or reconstruction. The plate remains securely fastened to the midface or craniofacial skeleton throughout the healing period, after which the plate and fasteners gradually degrade and are completely absorbed by the body. Thus, there is no need to surgically remove the devices.

Device Description and Principles of Operation
The BioSorbFX System contains various plates, meshes and screws that are made from poly-L/D,L-lactide ("P(L/DL)LA") copolymer, which consists of 70 molar percent poly-L lactide and 30 molar percent poly-D,L-lactide.

The BioSorbFX System is supplied pyrogen free and sterile following gamma radiation sterilization and is not intended to be resterilized by the user.
The BioSorbFX System is used in standard surgical procedures for reconstructive surgery or in the treatment of fractures of the midface and craniofacial skeletons. In conjunction with adequate surgical technique, the appropriate sized bioabsorbable craniofacial plates are used to stabilize bone fragments by attachment of the plate to the bones with plate fasteners (i.e., threaded screws).

Thus, there is no need to surgically remove the devices.
Technological Characteristics and Substantial Equivalence
The BioSorbFX Bioabsorbable Fixation System ("BioSorbFX System") contains various plates and threaded fasteners made of a biodegradable poly-L/D,Llactide ("P(L/DL)LA") copolymer, which consists of 70 molar percent poly-L lactide and 30
2
molar percent poly-D,L-lactide. The P(L/DL)LA material used in the BioSorbFX System is the same material used in other bioabsorbable devices previously cleared for implant use including the Bionx Implant Inc.'s Biodegradable Threaded Suture Anchor (K972783) and BioSorb Endobrow Screw (K972919), and Synthes, Inc. Resorbable Fixation System (K974555).
The BioSorbFX System has the same intended use and principles of operation and very similar technological characteristics as the bone plates and fasteners used in the previously cleared Synthes, Inc. Resorbable Fixation System (K974555) and the Walter Lorenz Surgical, Inc. LactoSorb® Trauma Plating System (K974309, K971870, and 960988). Like these predicate devices, the BioSorbFX System is intended for craniofacial trauma and reconstructive surgical procedures in the midface and craniofacial skeleton. All three fixation systems offer a variety of plate sizes and shapes and plate fasteners in both a 1.5 mm and 2.0 mm diameter size. Both the BioSorbFX System and the LactoSorb Trauma Plating System provide the user with customized instrumentation sets for use with their products. Additonally, the instrumentation set of the BioSorbFX System is similar to the instrumentation set included with Bionx's BioSorb Endobrow Screw (K972919).
The BioSorbFX System, the Synthes, Inc. Resorbable Fixation System and the LactoSorb Trauma Plating System are made of bioabsorbable materials. The BioSorbFX System and the Synthes, Inc. Resorbable Fixation System are made of the same biodegradable poly-L/D,L-lactide ("P(L/DL)LA") copolymer, while the LactoSorb is made of a reabsorbable copolymer consisting of a synthetic polyester derived from lactic and glycolic acids ("PLA/PGA"). All of these materials are biocompatible and have been shown to maintain sufficient physical integrity and mechanical holding properties within the bone for a sufficient period of time during the biological healing process. Unlike nonbioabsorbable fixation devices, the BioSorbFX System and the predicate devices do not require a second operation to remove the devices after the site has healed.
Summary Basis for the Finding of Substantial Equivalence
Like the previously cleared Synthes Resorbable Fixation System, and the Lorenz LactoSorb® Trauma Plating System, the BioSorbFX system has the same intended use and principles of operation and very similar technological characteristics. Furthermore, the BioSorbFX System is made of the identical biodegradable P(L/DL)LA material used in other Bionx products, including the Bionx Endobrow Screw and the Biodegradable Threaded Suture Anchor, and to the Synthes Fixation System, all of which have previously been cleared by the FDA for implant use. Any minor product design differences, such as differences in configurations, between the BioSorbFX System and the predicate devices do not raise any new issues of safety or effectiveness.
