The summary describes a mechanical bone screw and does not mention any software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.

No
Explanation: A therapeutic device is used to treat or cure a disease or condition. This device is a bone screw used for stabilization in fractures and other procedures, which is a supportive and reconstructive function rather than directly therapeutic.

No
Explanation: The device is a bone screw used for orthopedic procedures to treat fractures and other bone conditions. It is a therapy device, not a diagnostic one.

No

The intended use and materials described clearly indicate a physical bone screw, which is a hardware device.

Based on the provided information, the Multithread Vilex Cannulated Bone Screw is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples such as blood, urine, or tissue taken from the human body to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Description: The description clearly states the device is a "Cannulated Bone Screw" intended for surgical procedures like fixing bone fractures, osteotomies, arthrodeses, and tendon attachment. This is a surgical implant, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for surgical intervention on bone and tendons, not for analyzing biological samples.

Therefore, the Multithread Vilex Cannulated Bone Screw falls under the category of a surgical implant or device, not an in vitro diagnostic.

§ 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.
