More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and intended use clearly define a physical, bioabsorbable interference screw for ACL reconstruction. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" and "Mentions image processing" sections are explicitly marked as "Not Found".

No
The device is an interference screw used for fixation of grafts in ACL reconstruction. It is an implantable device used to support the biological healing process, but it does not directly administer therapy or provide a therapeutic effect itself.

No

Explanation: The device, the BIO-EUROLIG® screw, is described as an interference screw intended for fixations in ACL reconstruction. Its function is to provide physical support and fixation, not to diagnose a condition or disease.

No

The device description clearly states it is a bioabsorbable interference screw made of Poly-Lactid Acid (PLA), which is a physical hardware component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to provide interference fixations of bone-tendon-bone and soft tissue grafts in ACL reconstruction. This is a surgical procedure performed on the body, not a test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The device is a bioabsorbable interference screw used for fixation within the body. This is a medical device used for treatment, not for diagnosis.
  • Lack of IVD characteristics: The description does not mention any analysis of biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or any diagnostic purpose.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device clearly falls outside of that definition.

§ 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.
