Intended Use
Cases of fracture of the long arm bones are not uncommon and are usually caused by Cases of the surgical re-construction of the humeral is necessary to restore the patients natural alignment of the arm. The intra-medullary nail is used as a scaffold to hold the separate fractured bone sections together, until natural healing of the fracture occurs.

Device Description
The Omni-Fix, intra-medallary nails were designed to be used for fracture stabilization and fixation of the femur and tibia. Nails are manufactured from Titanium Alloy (Ti-6A1-4V) wrought bar stock material as per ISO 5832 part 3 and ASTM F136-84.
More Information

Not Identified

None

No
The summary describes a mechanical implant (intra-medullary nail) and its material properties and mechanical testing. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any software-driven analytical capabilities.

Yes
The device, an intra-medullary nail, is used to stabilize and fix fractures, which is a therapeutic intervention, as it helps in the healing process of the fracture and restores natural alignment.

No

This device is described as an "intra-medullary nail" used for "fracture stabilization and fixation," indicating it is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one. Its purpose is to hold bone sections together for healing, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description explicitly states that the device is an "intra-medullary nail" manufactured from Titanium Alloy, which is a physical hardware component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes the device as an "intra-medullary nail" used for "fracture stabilization and fixation of the femur and tibia" and "surgical re-construction of the humeral". This is a surgical implant used to physically support and stabilize bone fractures.
  • Device Description: The description details the material (Titanium Alloy) and manufacturing process of a physical implant.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies described are mechanical tests on the physical properties of the nail, not tests on biological samples or for diagnostic purposes.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or treatment.

IVD devices are used to perform tests in vitro (outside the body) on biological samples to provide diagnostic information. This device is an in vivo (inside the body) surgical implant.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

The mechanical testing of our nails were performed at the University of Teeside (England) Engineering Materials Test Center following our test Protocol. Tests were carried out on the departments testing equipment as per ASTM F383-89. Two different mechanical tests were performed using the smallest size nails. No failures were seen using the test protocol on the Omni-Fix nails.

§ 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.

Re: 510(K 991405) Pre-Market Application for a Line Extention to Surgical Implants Inc. Omni-Fix, Intra-Medallary Nail System.

Dear Sir.

In reply to your enquirey of June 18, 1999 I present the following statements for your review on the Omni Fix Humeral nail 510(K) application.

SUMMARY OF SAFETY AND EFFECTIVENESS

PRODUCT RATIONALE & DESCRIPTION

The Omni-Fix, intra-medallary nails were designed to be used for fracture stabilization and fixation of the femur and tibia. Nails are manufactured from Titanium Alloy (Ti-6A1-4V) wrought bar stock material as per ISO 5832 part 3 and ASTM F136-84.

SUBSTANTIALLY EQUIVALENT PRODUCTS

We believe that the Omni-Fix, humeral intra-medallary nail system functions in the same manner and is substantially equivalent to the Biomet, Uniflex nail system which is available for commercial distribution. The implant material, design rationale, and surgical technique are substantially the same between the two systems.

MECHANICAL TESTING TO SHOW SAFETY

The mechanical testing of our nails were performed at the University of Teeside (England) Engineering Materials Test Center following our test Protocol. Tests were carried out on the departments testing equipment as per ASTM F383-89. Two different mechanical tests were performed using the smallest size nails. No failures were seen using the test protocol on the Omni-Fix nails.
