Not Found

No
The summary describes a mechanical screw and does not mention any software, algorithms, or AI/ML terms.

No.
The device is a screw used for fixation of fractures during surgery, which is a structural component and not a device that provides therapy.

No.

The device description and intended uses clearly indicate it is a surgical implant (screws for fracture fixation), not a device used to diagnose a medical condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "1.0mm Ti. Cortex Screws," which are physical implants made of titanium. This is a hardware device, 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, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The description clearly states that the Synthes 1.0mm Ti. Cortex, Self-drilling Screws are implants intended for use in surgical procedures to fix fractures in specific anatomical areas (nasoethmoidal, infraorbital, frontal sinus wall, craniofacial, maxillofacial). They are physically inserted into the body.

Therefore, based on the provided information, this device is a surgical implant, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
