No
The summary describes a biodegradable screw for ACL/PCL reconstruction and explicitly states that AI, DNN, or ML are not mentioned.

Yes
The device is used for interference fixation in ligament reconstruction, which is a therapeutic intervention aimed at restoring function and improving the patient's condition.

No
Explanation: The device is an implantable screw used for fixation during ligament reconstruction, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "Biodegradable ACL/PCL SCREW," which is a physical implant, 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 INION HEXALON™ BIODEGRADABLE ACL/PCL SCREW is an implantable device used for surgical fixation of ligaments during reconstruction. It is physically placed within the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for surgical interference fixation, not for analyzing biological samples.

The information provided clearly describes a surgical implant, not a device used for testing biological specimens outside of the body.

§ 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.

DEVICE DESCRIPTION AND PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION

Inion Hexalon™ Biodegradable ACL/PCL screws are intended to be used for interference fixation in anterior and posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using bone-tendon-bone or soft tissue grafts.

The new screws are identical with the other implants in the previously 510(k) cleared Inion Hexalon™ Biodegradable ACL/PCL Screw (K021280) in terms of copolymer composition, colour additive, intended use and indications for use as described in the device labelling. manufacturing method and sterilization method.

EQUIVALENCE TO MARKETED PRODUCTS

Based on the performance data and specifications presented, it can be concluded that the intended use, material composition and scientific technology, dogradation profile and substantially equivalent with the predicate device Inion Hexalon™ Biodegradable ACL/PCT. screw (K021280).

The new Inion Hexalon™ Biodegradable ACL/PCL screws are substantially equivalent (1) predicate Class II devices used for interference fixation in anterior and posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using bone-tendon-bone or soft tissue grafts, because the differences between the new Inion Hexalon™ Biodegradable ACL/PCL screws and the predicate device do not raise new questions of safety and effectiveness.
