Intended Use
The BioScrew® XtraLok® 8 x 35mm and 8 x 40mm, violet provide tibial interference fixation of a soft tissue graft for ACL and PCL reconstruction.
Device Description
The BioScrew® XtraLok® 8 x 35mm and 8 x 40mm, violet are cannulated, sterile, single-use bone screws made of an absorbable homopolymer derived from Poly (L-Lactic Acid). Two sizes will be available for the device, 8 x 35mm and 8 x 40mm. The BioScrew® XtraLok® 8 x 35mm and 8 x 40mm, violet, differ from the existing Linvatec BioScrew® XtraLok™ in that the major diameter is smaller. The violet colorant contained in this device, has been cleared for this product code and intended use by the FDA via color petition 8C0255 dated January 28, 1998. The modification does not affect the device's intended use, fundamental scientific technology or performance specifications.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and intended use are purely mechanical and material-based, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML. The modifications described are physical (size and color).

Yes
The device is used for tibial interference fixation of a soft tissue graft for ACL and PCL reconstruction, which is a therapeutic intervention.

No
The device is described as a bone screw used for fixation in ACL and PCL reconstruction, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical bone screw made of absorbable material, 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 text describes a surgical implant (a bone screw) used for fixing a soft tissue graft during ACL and PCL reconstruction. It is inserted directly into the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "tibial interference fixation of a soft tissue graft," which is a surgical procedure, not an in vitro test.

The device is a medical device, but it 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.
