Device Description
Intramedullary Hip Screw
More Information

No
The summary describes a mechanical implant and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would suggest the use of AI/ML.

No
The device is a hip screw intended for internal fixation of fractures and reconstruction, which is a structural implantation, not a therapeutic treatment.

No

The device is an Intramedullary Hip Screw, which is used for the treatment of various hip and femoral fractures and deformities, not for diagnosing them. Its function is to provide fixation and support.

No

The device description and intended use clearly describe a physical implantable device (Intramedullary Hip Screw) used for orthopedic fixation, not a software application.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical implant used to fix fractures and deformities in the hip and femur. This is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The device is described as an "Intramedullary Hip Screw," which is a physical implant.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing samples from the body (like blood, urine, or tissue) or providing diagnostic information about a patient's condition.
  • Anatomical Site: The anatomical sites are parts of the skeletal system, where the device is physically implanted.
  • Performance Studies: The performance studies focus on mechanical strength and equivalence to predicate devices, which are relevant for surgical implants, not diagnostic tests.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device does not fit that description.

§ 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. Akil:

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.
