Intended Use
Synthes 6.5 mm Cannulated Screw is intended for fracture fixation of large bones and large bone fragments, such as femoral neck fractures; slipped capital femoral epiphyses; an adjunct to DHS in basilar neck fractures; tibial plateau fractures; ankle arthrodeses; pediatric femoral neck fractures; intercondylar femur fractures; SI joint disruptions; and subtalar arthrodeses.
Device Description
Synthes 6.5 mm Cannulated Screw is a self-tapping and self-drilling screw with a cancellous thread that can be guided into a position via a guidewire. Screws are available partially or fully threaded, in thread / screw lengths of 16 mm / 30 - 200 mm, 32 mm / 45 - 200 mm and full / 20 - 200 mm. Synthes 2.8 mm guidewires in 300 and 450 mm lengths are used for precise placement in bone.

No
The description focuses on the mechanical properties and intended use of a surgical screw and guidewire, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities.

No.
The device is an orthopedic implant (screw) used for fracture fixation, which falls under surgical repair rather than a therapeutic treatment in the conventional sense of drug or biological therapies.

No
The device is a cannulated screw for fracture fixation, which is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one. Its purpose is to physically stabilize bones, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical screw and guidewires, which are hardware components, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. These tests are performed outside of the body (in vitro).
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The description and intended use of the Synthes 6.5 mm Cannulated Screw clearly indicate it is a surgical implant used for fracture fixation of bones. This is a procedure performed inside the body (in vivo) to physically stabilize bone fragments.

The device's function is mechanical and structural, not diagnostic based on analyzing biological samples.

§ 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.

Dear Ms. Smith:

This letter corrects our substantially equivalent letter of September 06, 2002.

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and 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) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions 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. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you; however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
