No
The device description and intended use are purely mechanical, describing a surgical screw. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or any technology that would suggest AI/ML.

No.
The device description indicates it is a surgical implant (screws for bone fusion) and not a device that administers therapy.

No

Explanation: The device description states that the product is a "Synthes (USA) 6.5 mm Cancellous Screw," which is an orthopedic implant used for fusions and reconstructions, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical screw made of Stainless Steel or Titanium Alloy, which is a hardware component.

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 and Intended Use: The description clearly states that the Synthes 6.5 mm Cancellous Screws are intended for use in surgical procedures involving bones in the hindfoot, midfoot, and ankle. They are physical implants used to stabilize bone structures.

There is no mention of analyzing biological samples or providing diagnostic information based on such analysis.

§ 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.
