More Information

No
The summary describes a physical implant made from bovine bone for graft fixation and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing capabilities that would indicate AI/ML.

No
The device is used for graft fixation and reconstruction, which are surgical procedures, not therapeutic treatments. It functions as a structural component rather than providing therapy itself.

No
The device description states its use is for "graft fixation (for example, ligament and tendon), in cruciate ligament reconstruction surgeries," which is a treatment or surgical function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly states it is manufactured from bovine bone and is a physical implant (screw eyelet). This is a hardware device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for graft fixation in surgical procedures (cruciate ligament reconstruction). This is a surgical implant, not a device used to examine specimens from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or compatibility testing.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical implant made from bovine bone, designed to be used with a specific screw during surgery. This aligns with a surgical device, not an IVD.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Providing diagnostic information
    • Using reagents or assays

The device is clearly intended for direct surgical implantation to support tissue repair, which falls under the category of a surgical device or 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.

Proprietary Name: Sterling® IF Screw Eyelet

Common Name: soft tissue graft fixation device

Product Code: HWC. Orthopedics Panel

Code Section: 21 CFR 888.3040

Substantial Equivalence:

The Sterling IF Screw Eyelet is substantially equivalent to the LinX HT in design and function, and substantially equivalent to the Sterling Interference Screw ST and Sterling Interference Screw HT in materials and function.

Description:

The Sterling IF Screw Eyelet is manufactured from bovine bone processed with the BioCleanse® Tissue Sterilization Process. The Sterling IF Screw Eyelet is 25mm long by 8mm wide with an oval eyelet. The subject Sterling IF Screw Eyelet devices are to be used with Sterling Interference Screw HT cleared via K060253.

Intended Use:

This device is for use in graft fixation (for example, ligament and tendon), in cruciate ligament reconstruction surgeries. The Sterling IF Screw Eyelet devices are to be used with Sterling Interference Screw HT.

Summary of Technological Characteristics:

The Sterling IF Screw Eyelet, Sterling Interference Screw ST and Sterling Interference Screw HT are composed of the same materials processed in the same manner. The source of bovine bone used in the manufacture of the Sterling IF Screw Eyelet is a closed herd located in the U.S.A. A viral inactivation study using a worst-case representation of the BioCleanse® Tissue Sterilization Process, used in the manufacture of the Sterling IF Screw Eyelet, has shown a reduction of a panel of viruses to below detectable limits.
