Intended Use
The Starr Frame Steinmann Pins are non-sterile, single use, fixation devices intended for use in fixation of bone fractures, for bone reconstructions, and implantation through the skin so that traction may be applied to the skeletal system.
Device Description
The Starr Frame Steinmann Pins consist of various fixation pins and are offered in assorted dimensions and configurations to accommodate physician preferences, physical profiles of different patients, and varying injuries and conditions. The devices are constructed of implant grade 316LVM stainless steel. They are provided non-sterile and intended for single-use only.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the material and mechanical properties of the pins, and there is no mention of AI or ML in the intended use, device description, or performance studies.

Yes
The device is described as "fixation devices intended for use in fixation of bone fractures, for bone reconstructions, and implantation through the skin so that traction may be applied to the skeletal system," which directly aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device that treats or alleviates a condition.

No
Explanation: The device is described as a fixation device for bone fractures and reconstruction, and for traction. Its function is to provide physical support and fixation, not to diagnose medical conditions or diseases.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of "fixation pins" constructed of "implant grade 316LVM stainless steel," which are physical hardware components.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the Starr Frame Steinmann Pins are "fixation devices intended for use in fixation of bone fractures, for bone reconstructions, and implantation through the skin so that traction may be applied to the skeletal system." This describes a device used directly on or in the body for structural support and treatment.
  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics (IVDs) are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The provided information does not mention any testing of biological samples, analysis of bodily fluids, or diagnostic purposes. The device is a physical implant for mechanical support.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the Starr Frame Steinmann Pins are a surgical implant/device, not an in vitro diagnostic.

§ 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.
