Intended Use
The Extremity Medical Screw and Washer System is intended for reduction and internal fixation of arthrodeses, osteotomies, intra- and extrarticular fractures and nonunions of the small bones and joints of the foot, ankle, hand, and wrist. The two-part construct is specifically intended for Talonavicular, Calcaneocuboid, Metatarsocuneiform, Ankle, Capito-Lunate, and Triquetral-Hamate arthrodesis, as well as Metatarsal Osteotomies.
Device Description
The EXTREMITY MEDICAL Screw and Washer System consists of two pieces, a Screw and a Washer, which couple together to provide stability and compression across an intended area of fusion.
More Information

No
The summary describes a mechanical implant system (screws and washers) and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.

No
The device is an orthopedic implant (screw and washer system) designed for internal fixation of bones and joints, which falls under the category of surgical implants rather than active therapeutic devices that deliver energy or substances for treatment.

No
Explanation: The device is an orthopedic implant (screw and washer system) used for reduction and internal fixation in surgeries, not for diagnosing medical conditions. Its intended use describes surgical applications for fixation, not diagnostic procedures.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of a "Screw and a Washer," which are physical hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical implant for internal fixation of bones and joints. This is a therapeutic and structural device, not a device used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or compatibility testing.
  • Device Description: The description of a screw and washer system for providing stability and compression aligns with a surgical implant, not an IVD.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), reagents, or any other elements typically associated with in vitro diagnostics.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a surgical implant or orthopedic device, not an IVD.

§ 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.
