No
The device description and intended use clearly describe a physical implant (interference screw) made from bone, with no mention of software, algorithms, or any computational processing that would involve AI/ML.
Yes
The device aids in the fixation of soft tissue or bone-tendon-bone grafts during ligament reconstruction, contributing to the healing and restoration of function.
No
Explanation: The device description states its use is to provide fixation in ligament reconstruction, which is a therapeutic function, not diagnostic.
No
The device description clearly states it is a physical screw machined from bovine cortical bone, indicating it is a hardware device, not software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVDs are used to examine specimens from the human body. The intended use and device description clearly state that the STERLING® Interference Screw is a surgical implant used for fixation in ligament reconstruction. It is implanted directly into the body and does not involve the analysis of biological samples.
- The device description focuses on the physical characteristics and material of the screw. There is no mention of reagents, calibrators, controls, or any other components typically associated with IVD devices.
- The performance study describes remodeling in an animal model. This is consistent with the evaluation of an implantable device, not an IVD.
Therefore, the STERLING® Interference Screw is a surgical implant, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 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.
