More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical properties and fixation capabilities of a titanium screw, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.

Yes
The device is used for the "fixation of ligaments and tendons in patients requiring ligament or tendon repair," indicating a therapeutic purpose.

No
Explanation: The device is a surgical implant (interference screw) used for fixation of ligaments and tendons, not for diagnosing conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "cannulated, tapered fastener" made from a Titanium alloy, which is a physical 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, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The Parcus Titanium Interference Screw is a physical implant used to fix ligaments and tendons within the body during surgical repair. It does not analyze biological samples.

The information provided clearly describes a surgical implant, not a diagnostic test performed on samples outside the body.

Summary of Performance Studies

The pull out strength and insertion torque was measured for the smallest (7mm) and largest (12mm) Parcus Titanium Interference Screws as well as an intermediate size. Side by side comparisons were done with the predicate devices and results of the insertion torque testing and pullout force demonstrated that there were no significant differences between the Parcus Titanium Interference Screw and the predicate devices.

§ 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.
