No
The 510(k) summary describes a mechanical orthopedic screw and does not mention any software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.

No
The device is described as screws for fixation of bones, which is a structural and mechanical function rather than directly providing a therapeutic effect like treating a disease or condition.

No
The device, Synthes Peri-Prosthetic Screws, is used for fixation of bones, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function. It does not identify or characterize a disease or condition.

No

The device description clearly describes physical screws made of metal, 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 examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description: The provided description clearly states that the Synthes Peri-Prosthetic Screws are implants used for the fixation of bones. They are physical devices inserted into the body during surgery.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for surgical fixation of bones, not for analyzing biological samples.

Therefore, based on the provided information, this device falls under the category of a surgical implant, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

§ 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.
