The device description and performance studies focus solely on the mechanical properties and equivalence of the bone screws, with no mention of AI or ML technologies.
No
The device is a bone screw used for fixation in fractures and osteotomies, which is a structural implant rather than a device that provides therapy or treatment directly.
No
Explanation: The device is a bone fixation system intended for the surgical management of fractures and osteotomies, not for diagnosing medical conditions.
No
The device description clearly states it is a "Cannulated Bone Screw set" consisting of physical screws made of stainless steel or titanium alloy, which are hardware components.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for bone fixation in the management of fractures and arthrodesis. This is a surgical procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
- Device Description: The device is a physical implant (cannulated screws) used to stabilize bones.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or compatibility testing.
IVD devices are used in vitro (outside the body) to analyze biological samples. This device is used in vivo (inside the body) for structural support.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Emerge Medical Cannulated Screw Fixation System is intended to provide bone fixation in the management of fractures of both small and large bones and bone fragments, including those in the foot, patella, ankle, wrist, and elbow and arthrodesis of the foot, wrist, and elbow and small and long bone osteotomies.

Device Description
The Emerge Medical Cannulated Bone Screw set consists of various size bone screws. The screws are available in a variety of sizes differing in diameter, overall length and threaded length. The screws are machined from 316 L stainless steel or titanium alloy.
Each screw is cannulated with a hole through the center for use with appropriately sized guide wires. The screw heads have various configurations which mate with commonly used drivers. No specialized instruments are required for placement of the screws.
The screws have mating washers which can be slipped over the shaft of the screw and fit under the screw head. The screws are used with generic instruments commonly available to orthopedic surgeons.
The devices are provided both in non-sterile or in sterile packages as preferred by the user.

§ 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.

and threaded length. The screws are machined from 316 L stainless steel or titanium alloy.
Each screw is cannulated with a hole through the center for use with appropriately sized guide wires. The screw heads have various configurations which mate with commonly used drivers. No specialized instruments are required for placement of the screws.
The screws have mating washers which can be slipped over the shaft of the screw and fit under the screw head. The screws are used with generic instruments commonly available to orthopedic surgeons.
The devices are provided both in non-sterile or in sterile packages as preferred by the user.

Technological Characteristics:
The subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices. Both the subject device and predicate devices have a similar designs, materials and indications. The materials comprising the device (316L stainless steel or titanium alloy) are commonly used for orthopedic implants and have a long history of biocompatibility
Performance:
The devices have been subjected to recognized consensus standards and perform in a manner equivalent to the predicate devices. Testing included
Screw Torsional Strength,
Screw Axial Pullout,
Screw Driving and Removal Torque
In all instances. Emerge screws were shown to be substantially equivalent to the predicate screws.
Conclusion:
We believe that based on the predicate device comparison and the non-clinical testing performed the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices and conclude that the subject devices are as safe and effective as the predicate devices.
