Intended Use
The Anspach Surgical Drill, Specialty Nosepiece Attachment "Adaptor/Coupler" is indicated for use by trained medical personnel as an interface coupling device, to permit attachment to and operation of the Medtronic, Midas Rex "Legend" Bone Mill (BM1100) and Disposable Bowl Bone Mill (BM200) with an Anspach motor.
Device Description
The Coupler is a simple attachment; comprised of a cylindrical housing with external locking feature, that when inserted into the bone mill, physically locks the coupler to the bone mill. The coupler is designed to attach and lock onto the Anspach spindle (drive shaft), to permit operation of the bone mill. There are two coupler designs; one for Black Max and one for Micro/Max/xMax and eMax. Attachment is a simple insertion/twist motion, to align cantilever tabs with the Bone Mill "D-lock" feature. A simple twist motion that depresses the two coupler cantilever tabs, unlocking coupler from the bone mill for easy removal.

No
The device description and intended use clearly describe a mechanical coupling device with no mention of software, data processing, or AI/ML terms.

No
The device is an interface coupling device designed to attach a surgical drill to a bone mill. It does not perform any therapeutic function itself, but rather facilitates the operation of another device (bone mill) which is used in a surgical procedure.

No.
The device is described as an "interface coupling device" for surgical equipment (bone mills) and does not mention any function related to diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "simple attachment; comprised of a cylindrical housing with external locking feature" and describes physical attachment mechanisms, indicating it is a hardware device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to connect a surgical drill to a bone mill for surgical procedures. This is an in vivo application (within a living organism), not an in vitro application (outside of a living organism, typically involving testing of samples like blood or tissue).
  • Device Description: The device is a mechanical coupler designed to physically connect two surgical instruments. It does not involve any testing of biological samples or diagnostic procedures.

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