Intended Use
The Scandius ACL Reconstruction System is intended for use in fixation of ligament and tendon grafts in cruciate ligament reconstructions.
Device Description
The ACL Reconstruction System consists of a two piece implant designed to fixation soft tissue for ACL reconstruction. The graft block secures the soft tissue graft. A fixation pin placed transversely to the femoral tunnel secures the graft block in place. The System includes instrumentation to create the bone tunnel and place the device as well as a sterilization tray.

N/A

No
The description focuses on mechanical components and surgical instrumentation for ACL reconstruction, with no mention of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is a medical implant intended for the fixation of ligament and tendon grafts in cruciate ligament reconstructions, which is a therapeutic purpose.

No
Explanation: The device is an ACL Reconstruction System which is used for fixation of ligament and tendon grafts. This is a therapeutic purpose, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of a two-piece implant, instrumentation, and a sterilization tray, all of which are physical hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states "fixation of ligament and tendon grafts in cruciate ligament reconstructions." This describes a surgical procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The description details an implant (graft block and fixation pin) and instrumentation used for surgical implantation. This is consistent with a surgical device, not a device used to examine specimens outside the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment, or alleviation of disease. 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.
