K102413 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the FUZE: INTRAMEDULLARY INTERNAL FIXATION NAIL. Classified as Rod, Fixation, Intramedullary And Accessories (product code HSB), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Vilex, Inc. (Mcminnville, US). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on November 14, 2011 after a review of 447 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Orthopedic FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 888.3020 - the FDA orthopedic device regulatory framework. The Traditional 510(k) pathway establishes clearance through substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, without requiring clinical trial data.

Device pattern: High-complexity regulatory submission. Elevated predicate reliance profile. The extended review timeline suggests the FDA required additional documentation before confirming substantial equivalence - a pattern common in complex or first-of-kind Orthopedic submissions.
