More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and intended use are for physical orthopedic fixation devices (wires, pins, screws) and do not mention any software, image processing, or AI/ML capabilities. The substantial equivalence is based on physical characteristics and materials.

No
The device is indicated for fixation of bone fractures, bone reconstructions, and as guide pins, which are surgical interventions rather than therapeutic treatments.

No

This device is used for the fixation of bone fractures and reconstruction, and as guide pins for other implants or traction. Its function is to provide structural support or guidance during medical procedures, rather than to diagnose medical conditions or diseases.

No

The device description clearly indicates physical components (wires, pins, screws) made of materials with specific dimensions and geometries, which are hardware, not software.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This testing is done outside of the body (in vitro).
  • Device Intended Use: The intended use of the Komet Medical Kirschner Wires, Steinmann Pins and Guide Pins and Screws is for the fixation of bone fractures, bone reconstructions, and as guide pins for implant insertion or traction. This is a direct surgical intervention on the body, not a test performed on a specimen outside the body.
  • Device Description: The description details physical characteristics of the pins and wires, not components for analyzing biological samples.

Therefore, based on the provided information, this device is a surgical implant/instrument, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

§ 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.
