Intended Use
The "new" SPIN® SNAP-OFF SCREW is indicated for fixation of bone fractures or for bone reconstruction. Examples include: Fixation of small bone fragments. Weil osteotomy Mono-cortical fixation Osteotomies and fractures fixation in the foot and hand
Device Description
The SPIN ® SNAP-OFF SCREW is self drilling and self tapping snap-off screw One part is fixed on a standard surgical power equipment and when the snap-off screw is totally introduced in the bone, its head is blocked and the breaking torque is important enough to cause dissociation between the screw and the snap-off. In comes in lengths from 11 to 14 mm. The length varies whereas the head diameter is constant ( 2 mm) and the distal thread length is 7 mm to 10 mm.

No
The device description and intended use are purely mechanical, and there is no mention of AI, ML, or any computational processing of data.

No.
Explanation: The device is an orthopedic screw used for fixing bone fractures and for bone reconstruction, which are structural interventions rather than therapeutic treatments aimed at restoring or improving physiological function.

No
The device description clearly states its purpose is for "fixation of bone fractures or for bone reconstruction," indicating a therapeutic rather than diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical screw intended for bone fixation, which is a hardware component. There is no mention of any software component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the fixation of bone fractures or bone reconstruction. This is a surgical procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is a screw designed to be implanted into bone.
  • 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 screening.

IVD devices are used in vitro (outside the body) to analyze biological samples. This device is used in vivo (inside the body) for structural support.

§ 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.

DESCRIPTION OF DEVICE: K.

The SPIN ® SNAP-OFF SCREW is self drilling and self tapping snap-off screw One part is fixed on a standard surgical power equipment and when the snap-off screw is totally introduced in the bone, its head is blocked and the breaking torque is important enough to cause dissociation between the screw and the snap-off. In comes in lengths from 11 to 14 mm. The length varies whereas the head diameter is constant ( 2 mm) and the distal thread length is 7 mm to 10 mm.

L. INTENDED USE:

The SPIN® SNAP-OFF Screw is intended to be implanted for fixation of bone fractures or for bone reconstructions.

M.

INDICATIONS FOR USE:
The "new" SPIN® SNAP-QFF SCREW is indicated for fixation of bone fractures or for bone reconstruction. Examples include:

Fixation of small bone fragments.

  • . Weil osteotomy
  • Mono-cortical fixation .
    • Osteotomies and fractures fixation in the foot and hand

PREDICATE DEVICE: N.

The "new" SPIN® SNAP-OFF SCREW is technically equivalent to the SPIN" SNAP-OFF screw currently approved (K991477). The "now" SPIN" SNAP-OFF SCREW is substantially equivalent to the Depuy Twist-off Screw (K962233), the howmedica Luhr Screw system (K950595), the 2.0mm and 2.4mm Synthes Cortex Screw (K952272and K002271) and the Osteomed M3 Screw (K924018, K924138).

0. COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS:

The "new" SPIN® SNAP-OFF screw is technically equivalent to the device currently cleared. They have the same intended use, and the design of the active part (screw itself) has not changed. The "new" SPIN" SNAP-OFF screw, the Depuy Twist-off Screw, the howmedica Luhr Screw system, the 2.0mm and 2.4mm Synthes Cortex Screw and the Osteomed M3 Screw have the same intended use and all are indicated for fixing small fractures or osteotomics. All arc made from Titanium alloys, except the Luhr Scrow system which is provided in Cobalt-Chrome alloy, and the 2.4mm Synthes Cortex Screw which is provided in 316L. Stainless steel. The Titanium alloy used for the SPIN® SNAP-OFF SCREW is a matcrial commonly used among professionals in the orthopedic field. The "new" SPIN" SNAP-OFF screw, the Depuy Twist-off Screw, the howmedica Luhr Screw system, the 2.0mm Synthes Cortex Screw and the Ostcomed M3 Screw are 2.0mm diameter screws (range 1.2 - 3.0mm for the M3 screw system). Most have a low profile head, are self-drilling and self-tapping screws.

P. SUMMARY OF STUDIES:

to of the torque of the "bew" SPIN" SNAP-OFF SCREW is the same as live the line the line the line the line the line the line the line the line the lines not
changed, changed.

Dear Dr. Estrin:

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 legally marketed predicate 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 oosisions 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 ( Feniance I Ippe any in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 895. A substantially equivalent determination assumes compliance with the Current Good Manufacturing Practice requirements, 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
