No
The summary describes a mechanical external fixation system with no mention of software, algorithms, or any technology that would suggest AI/ML capabilities.
Yes
The device is indicated for "reconstruction and corrections of bone segments of the human body," which is a therapeutic purpose.
No
The device is described as an "external fixation system" indicated for "reconstruction and corrections of bone segments," which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description explicitly lists physical components made of metal alloys (joints, bars, clamps, screws) which are assembled to form the external fixation system. This indicates a hardware-based medical device, not a software-only one.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for "reconstruction and corrections of bone segments of the human body." This describes a surgical or orthopedic procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
- Device Description: The components (joints, bars, clamps, screws) are physical parts used to assemble an external fixation system. This is a mechanical device used externally to stabilize bone.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information about a physiological state, health, or disease.
IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the body to diagnose or monitor conditions. This device is a therapeutic device used to treat a physical condition directly.

§ 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 Mr. Holland:
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. Isting of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration.
