No
The device description and intended use focus on a biodegradable screw for ligament reconstruction, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

No
A therapeutic device is one that treats or cures a disease or condition. This device is used for interference fixation in ligament reconstruction, which is a structural support rather than a direct treatment or cure.

No.
The device is an implant for interference fixation in ligament reconstruction, not for diagnosis.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical screw made of resorbable copolymers, indicating it is a hardware medical device, not software.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for "interference fixation in anterior and posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using bone-tendon-bone or soft tissue grafts." This describes a surgical procedure performed in vivo (within the living body).
  • Device Description: The description details a physical implantable device (a screw) made of biodegradable materials. This is a medical device used directly on the patient during surgery.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD is used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information about a person's health. This device does not perform any such analysis.

The information provided describes a surgical implant, which falls under the category of a medical device, but not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 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.

DEVICE DESCRIPTION AND PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION

Inion Hexalon™ Biodegradable ACL/PCL Screw is intended for use The in anterior/posterior cruciate ligament (ACL/PCL) reconstruction procedures. The Inion Hexalon™ Biodegradable ACL/PCL Screw is indicated for fixation of bone-patellar tendonbone graft to the femoral/tibial bone drill hole in the anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, fixation of the soft tissue graft to the femoral/tibial bone drill hole in the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction and reconstruction of posterior cruciate ligament (PCL)

The Inion Hexalon™ Biodegradable ACL/PCL Screw is made of resorbable polylactic acid / trimethylenecarbonate copolymers and it is provided in the various lengths and diameters typical of the other marketed devices. The Inion Hexalon™ Biodegradable ACL/PCL Screw is offered both undyed and coloured for better visualization during surgical operation. Colour additive used for dying the device is FDA approved colourant: D&C Green No.6, in accordance with the Title 21 CFR 74.3206. The Inion Hexalon™ Biodegradable ACL/PCL Screws gradually lose their strength during 18-36 weeks. Bioresorption takes place within two to four years.

EQUIVALENCE TO MARKETED PRODUCTS

The Inion Hexalon™ Biodegradable ACL/PCL Screw is substantially equivalent to the biodegradable screws, intended for ACL and PCL reconstruction procedures, which have received 510(k) clearance. The Inion Hexalon™ Biodegradable ACL/PCL Screw and BioScrew® Absorbable Interference Screw (K973758), The Arthrex Bio-Interference Screw (K971358), Arthrotek Interference Screw (K982497) and Sysorb Interference screw (K983592) have the same intended use and principles of operation and very similar design characteristics. Mechanical testing demonstrates that the device is substantially equivalent to the predicate. The differences between the Inion Hexalon™ Biodegradable ACL/PCL Screw and these predicate devices do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness.
