More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes surgical instruments made of stainless steel for use with interference screws and does not mention any AI or ML capabilities.

No.
The device described is an arthroscopic surgical instrument used to facilitate the implantation of interference screws for reattachment of tissues to bone, not a therapeutic device itself. Its classification is based on the therapeutic devices it aids in implanting.

No

The device is described as "surgical instruments used in arthroscopic surgery to facilitate the implantation of Interference Screw Systems". Its indications are for the reattachment of ligament, tendon, or soft tissue to bone, which are therapeutic procedures, not diagnostic ones.

No

The device description explicitly states the instruments are manufactured from medical grade Stainless Steel, indicating they are physical hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description: The description clearly states that these are "arthroscopic surgical instruments" and "accessory devices" used in surgery to facilitate the implantation of interference screws.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for surgical procedures to reattach ligaments, tendons, or soft tissue to bone. This is a direct surgical intervention on the body, not an examination of a specimen outside the body.

The device is a surgical instrument used during surgery, not a diagnostic tool used to analyze samples in vitro.

§ 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.

Dear Mr. Reynolds:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801); medical device reporting (reporting of medical
