APTUS® Cannulated Compression Screws 5.0, 7.0 are intended for the treatment of fractures, osteotomies and arthrodeses of bones with the appropriate screw size.
Device Description
APTUS® Cannulated Compression Screws 5.0, 7.0 are headless screws intended for the treatment of fractures, osteotomies and arthrodeses of bones. The design of the screw, incorporating various diameters, threads on the head and tip, provides compression of the bone segments upon insertion of the screw. The submission includes the associated Kwires, intended to be used for internal fixation of bone fractures, for bone reconstruction, and as guide pins for insertion of the implants. APTUS Cannulated Compression Screws 5.0, 7.0 are available in two diameters (5.0 mm and 7.0 mm) and come in partially-threaded or fully-threaded designs. The 5.0 mm screws are provided in overall lengths ranging from 30 to 70 mm. The 7.0 mm screws are provided in overall lengths ranging from 40 to 140 mm. The 5.0 and 7.0 mm screws are used with the 1.6 and 2.2 mm diameter K-wires, respectively. APTUS® Cannulated Compression Screws 5.0, 7.0 are made of titanium alloy conforming to ASTM F136 Standard Specification for Wrought Titanium-6 Aluminum-4 Vanadium ELI (Extra Low Interstitial) Alloy for Surgical Implant Applications (UNS R56401) and the K-wires are made of stainless steel conforming to ASTM F138 Standard Specification for Wrought 18Chromium-14Nickel-2.5Molybdenum Stainless Steel Bar and Wire for Surgical Implants (UNS S31673).
More Information

No
The summary describes a mechanical device (screws and K-wires) for bone fixation and does not mention any software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.

Yes
The device is intended for the treatment of fractures, osteotomies, and arthrodeses of bones, which are therapeutic interventions.

No

This device is described as APTUS® Cannulated Compression Screws, which are used for the treatment of fractures, osteotomies, and arthrodeses of bones. These are therapeutic devices for internal fixation, not diagnostic devices which identify or detect a disease or condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical implant (screws and K-wires) made of titanium alloy and stainless steel, intended for surgical implantation in bones. It does not describe any software component.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the treatment of fractures, osteotomies, and arthrodeses of bones. This is a surgical procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is a physical implant (screws and K-wires) made of metal, designed to provide mechanical support and compression to bone segments.
  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

This device is clearly a surgical implant used in vivo (within the living body), 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.
