Intended Use
The Newfix Screw, Wire and Pin Fixation System is to be used as implants for the fixation of bone fractures, fusion of joints or bone reconstructions or as guide pins for insertion of other implants.
Device Description
The Newfix® Screw, Wire and Pin Fixation System is a family of threaded external fixator of various sizes for use in the treatment of fractures. Pins include smooth and self drilling/self-tapping type threaded pin with diamond tip and cutting edges. The pin and screws of the Newfix System are manufactured using implant grade stainless steel. Pin configurations include Kirschner Pins (K-wires), Schanz Screws, Steinmann Pin and Conic Threaded Bone Screws all in various lengths, diameters and threads. The Newfix® Screw, Wire and Pin Fixation System is intended for single patient use. None of the components of the Newfix System are reusable. The Newfix® Screw, Wire and Pin Fixation System includes the following accessory devices: Depth Gauge; Tissue Protection Triple Guide for Axial Fixation; T Shape Handle Chuck; and Drill Bits.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and intended use clearly describe a mechanical fixation system (screws, wires, pins) and associated tools, with no mention of software, algorithms, or any AI/ML related terms.

No.
The device is used for fixation of bone fractures and fusion of joints or bone reconstructions, which are considered mechanical support or reconstruction functionalities rather than therapeutic.

No

Explanation: The device is described as an implant system for fixation of bone fractures, fusion of joints, or bone reconstructions, and not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "family of threaded external fixator" and lists physical components like screws, wires, pins, and accessory devices. This indicates it is a hardware-based medical device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for "fixation of bone fractures, fusion of joints or bone reconstructions or as guide pins for insertion of other implants." This describes a surgical implant used directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The description details physical implants like screws, wires, and pins made of stainless steel, along with surgical accessories like depth gauges and drill bits. These are all physical devices used in a surgical procedure.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD is a medical device used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This device does not perform any such function.

The device described is a surgical implant system, 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.
