Intended Use
The SAMBA™ Screw System is intended for fixation of sacroiliac joint disruptions. This fixation device is to only be used in skeletally mature patients.
Device Description
The SAMBA screw is a cannulated metallic bone screw designed to stabilize the sacroiliac (SI) joint. The SAMBA screw is composed of implant-grade Titanium, Ti-6Al-4V ELI, conforming to ASTM F-136. The SAMBA screw is 9 mm in diameter and offered in 25-50 mm lengths with multiple longitudinal slots on its shaft. Each slot set consists of four (4) holes oriented 90 degrees apart around the circumference of the screw at specified axial location. It will be provided as sterile, single units packaged in a sealed tray and pouch. The screw is a single use device and is not intended to be resterilized.

No
The device description and performance studies focus solely on the mechanical properties and intended use of a physical screw for sacroiliac joint fixation. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the presence of AI/ML.

No

Explanation: A therapeutic device is used to treat or manage a disease or condition. This device is a fixation device for sacroiliac joint disruptions, which stabilizes the joint. Therefore, it is a therapeutic device.

No

Explanation: The SAMBA™ Screw System is described as a fixation device intended for stabilizing sacroiliac joint disruptions, indicating a therapeutic or treatment function rather than a diagnostic one. Its description details its physical characteristics and mechanical testing, not its ability to detect or identify a medical condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a cannulated metallic bone screw made of Titanium, indicating it is a physical hardware device, not software.

Based on the provided information, the SAMBA™ Screw System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • SAMBA Screw System Function: The SAMBA Screw System is a surgical implant designed for the mechanical fixation of the sacroiliac joint. It is a physical device inserted into the body to provide structural support.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Activity: The description does not mention any analysis of biological samples or any diagnostic purpose. Its function is purely therapeutic/structural.

Therefore, the SAMBA™ Screw System falls under the category of a surgical implant or orthopedic device, 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.
