No
The device description and intended use clearly describe a mechanical bone screw for fixation, with no mention of AI or ML capabilities. The "Mentions AI, DNN, or ML" and "Mentions image processing" sections are explicitly marked as "Not Found".
Yes
The device is described as an implant used for fixation of osteotomies and reconstruction after correction procedures for deformities, which directly addresses a health condition or alters the structure/function of the body.
No
The device is described as a surgical implant for fixation of osteotomies and reconstruction of lesser toes and fingers, which indicates a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function.
No
The device description clearly states it is a "single-piece cannulated bone screw" made of "stainless steel or titanium," indicating it is a physical hardware implant, not software.
Based on the provided information, the Trident Fusion Implant 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, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This includes tests for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Trident Fusion Implant Function: The description clearly states the Trident Fusion Implant is a "single-piece cannulated bone screw intended for the fixation of PIP joints in lesser toes and digits." Its purpose is to physically stabilize bones after surgical procedures.
- Lack of Specimen Analysis: There is no mention of the device analyzing any biological specimens from the patient.
Therefore, the Trident Fusion Implant is a surgical implant, not an in vitro diagnostic device.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use

§ 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 Dr. Lavi:
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 of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803); good manufacturing practice requirements as set
