No
The summary describes a mechanical fixation device (a cross pin) and its intended use in ACL reconstruction. There is no mention of software, algorithms, image processing, AI, ML, or any other technology that would suggest the incorporation of AI/ML. The performance studies focus on mechanical equivalence to a predicate device.

Yes
The device is used in ACL reconstruction procedures to provide suspension fixation, which directly treats an injury and restores function.

No
The device, a Biosteon cross pin, is used for suspension fixation during ACL reconstruction, which is a treatment procedure, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "cannulated Cross Pins" which are physical implants made of material (Biosteon®). This is a hardware device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The provided information clearly describes a surgical implant (a cross pin) used to fix a soft tissue graft during ACL reconstruction surgery. This is a device used within the body for a structural purpose, not a test performed on a sample outside the body.

The device is a surgical implant used in a surgical procedure, not an in vitro diagnostic test.

§ 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.

Name of Device

Classification Name: Pin, Fixation, Smooth, Non-Metallic A device for holding soft tissue in apposition Common Name: Proprietary Name: Biosteon Cross Pin

Predicate Device

Arthrex Bio Transfix cross pin K011172 Biosteon Screw K003641

Device Function

To hold a soft tissue graft in position during healing in the femoral bone tunnel.

Device Design

The cannulated Cross Pins are 40-60mm long by 6-9mm diameter with a conical tip 10mm long.

Materials Used

The Cross Pin is moulded from a Poly L lactide/hydrox yapatite composite.

Intended Use

To hold a Semi Tendonosus ST or hamstring (soft tissue) graft in place in the femoral tunnel during the healing period following ACL reconstructive surgery.

Substantial Equivalence

The material of construction and methods of manufacture, packaging and sterilization of the Biosteon Cross Pin are identical to the previously cleared Biosteon Screw K003641.

The function and indications for use of the Biosteon Cross Pin are the same as for the Arthrex Bio Transfix Cross Pin K011172.
