Intended Use
The Arthrex CMC Mini TightRope, when used for fixation of bone-to-bone or soft-tissue-tobone, is intended as a fixation post, distribution bridge, or for distributing suture tension over areas of ligament or tendon repair. Specifically, the Arthrex CMC Mini TightRope is indicated for Carpal Metacarpal (CMC) joint arthroplasty as an adjunct in the suspension of the thumb metacarpal during the healing process of hematoma distraction arthroplasty by providing stabilization at the base of the first and second metacarpal when the trapezium has been excised due to osteoarthritis.
Device Description
The Arthrex CMC Mini TightRope consists of two oblong stainless steel buttons and a single strand of #2 FiberWire.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and intended use are purely mechanical, describing a physical implant for surgical fixation. There is no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

Yes
The device is intended for fixation during the healing process of hematoma distraction arthroplasty, and provides stabilization, which indicates a therapeutic purpose.

No
The device is described as a fixation post, distribution bridge, or for distributing suture tension during surgical procedures, specifically for CMC joint arthroplasty. Its function is to provide stabilization and fixation, not to diagnose medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of physical components: two stainless steel buttons and a strand of FiberWire. This indicates it is a hardware device, not software-only.

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 device used for surgical fixation within the body (bone-to-bone, soft-tissue-to-bone, suspension of the thumb metacarpal). This is an in vivo application.
  • Device Description: The description of stainless steel buttons and suture material aligns with surgical implants, not diagnostic reagents or instruments used to analyze samples outside the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific analytes, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory tests.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device is a surgical implant used for mechanical support and fixation during healing.

§ 888.3030 Single/multiple component metallic bone fixation appliances and accessories.

(a)
Identification. Single/multiple component metallic bone fixation appliances and accessories are devices intended to be implanted consisting of one or more metallic components and their metallic fasteners. The devices contain a plate, a nail/plate combination, or a blade/plate combination that are made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, stainless steel, and titanium, that are intended to be held in position with fasteners, such as screws and nails, or bolts, nuts, and washers. These devices are used for fixation of fractures of the proximal or distal end of long bones, such as intracapsular, intertrochanteric, intercervical, supracondylar, or condylar fractures of the femur; for fusion of a joint; or for surgical procedures that involve cutting a bone. The devices may be implanted or attached through the skin so that a pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system.(b)
Classification. Class II.
