No
The summary describes a mechanical device (cannulated screws) with design modifications and mechanical testing, with no mention of software, image processing, or AI/ML terms.

No
This device is for fracture fixation, meaning it helps to stabilize and hold bones in place after a fracture, which is a supportive and reparative function rather than a direct therapeutic one like drug delivery or pain relief.

No
Explanation: The device is a cannulated screw system intended for fracture fixation, which is a treatment rather than a diagnostic function. It is a surgical implant and not designed to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "Cannulated Screw System" and describes modifications to screw lengths and diameters, indicating it is a physical hardware device used for fracture fixation.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "fracture fixation of small and long bones and of the pelvis." This describes a surgical implant used to stabilize broken bones within the body.
  • Device Description: The description details design modifications to a "Cannulated Screw System," which is a type of orthopedic implant.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information about a patient's health.

IVD devices are used for diagnostic purposes by analyzing samples outside the body. This device is clearly an implant used within the body for structural support.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

The intended use of the modified devices, as described in its labeling, has not changed as a result of this modification. These devices are intended for fracture fixation of small and long bones and of the pelvis. The system is not intended for spinal use.

§ 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. Ariemma:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and we have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to 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.
