The summary describes a resorbable screw for surgical procedures and makes no mention of AI or ML technology.
No.
The device's intended use is to assist resorbable suture in brow lift procedures, functioning as a resorbable screw rather than directly treating a disease or condition for therapeutic effect.
No
The device is a resorbable screw used to assist in brow lift procedures, which is a therapeutic rather than diagnostic function. It does not identify or detect a disease or condition.
No
The device description clearly states it is a resorbable screw, 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 is to "assist resorbable suture in open and endoscopic brow lift procedures." This describes a surgical procedure performed directly on a patient's body.
- Device Description: The device is a "resorbable (LactoSorb®) screw" inserted into a pre-drilled hole. This is a physical implant used during surgery.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information about a patient's health status, diagnose, monitor, or screen for diseases.
IVD devices are specifically designed for testing biological samples in vitro. This device is a surgical implant used in vivo (within the body).

§ 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.
