No
The device description and intended use focus on mechanical fixation components (screws, tape, suture) and surgical accessories. There is no mention of software, data processing, or any terms related to AI/ML.

Yes.
The device is used for the fixation of tendon grafts during ACL and PCL reconstructions, which are surgical procedures to repair damaged ligaments, indicating a therapeutic purpose.

No
The device is a CoLS® Fixation System used for fixing tendon grafts during ACL and PCL reconstructions, which is a therapeutic function, not diagnostic.

No

The device description explicitly lists hardware components such as screws, tape, and surgical instruments, indicating it is not a software-only device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the fixation of tendon grafts during orthopedic surgical procedures (ACL and PCL reconstructions). This is a surgical implant used directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is described as an implantable system (screw and tape) used for surgical fixation.
  • 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 screening.

IVD devices are used in vitro (outside the body) to analyze biological samples. This device is used in vivo (inside the body) as a surgical implant.

§ 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.
