Intended Use
The Intended Use of the IFS Cannulated Bone Screw is for the treatment of bone fractures, such as fractures of the tarsals and metatarsals, and for metatarsals and phalangeal osteotomies and arthrodses of the hand and foot.
Device Description
The IFS Cannulated Screw is a self-tapping, self-drilling screw with a cancellous thread that can be guided into position by guidewire placement. Partial or fully threaded screws are available in 3.0mm, 3.5mm, and 4.0mm thread diameters and 10mm to 75mm in length.
More Information

No
The description focuses on the mechanical properties and intended use of a bone screw, with no mention of AI or ML.

Yes.
The device is used for the treatment of bone fractures, which is a therapeutic purpose.

No
The device is a medical screw used for treating bone fractures, not for diagnosis. Its intended use describes treatment, not the identification of a disease or condition.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical bone screw, which is a hardware component, 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 IFS Cannulated Bone Screw is a physical implantable device used to fix bone fractures. It is surgically inserted into the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical procedure to treat bone fractures, not the analysis of biological samples.

The information provided describes a surgical implant, which falls under a different category of medical devices than IVDs.

§ 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.
