More Information

No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical properties of bone screws, with no mention of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is intended to treat fractures of various bones, which is a therapeutic purpose.

No
Explanation: The device, SMV Scientific 4.5mm Bone Screws, is intended to treat fractures by fixing bones. It is a therapeutic device, not a diagnostic one, as it does not identify or detect conditions.

No

The device description clearly states the device is a physical bone screw made of stainless steel, which is a hardware component.

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, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health. This information is used for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The SMV Scientific 4.5mm Bone Screws are described as physical implants used to treat bone fractures. They are surgically inserted into the body to stabilize broken bones.
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: There is no mention of this device being used to analyze any biological specimens. Its function is purely mechanical and structural within the body.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the SMV Scientific 4.5mm Bone Screws are a surgical implant, 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.

Dear Mr. Maxwell:

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.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DEVICE SUBJECT TO PREMARKET NOTIFICATION:

The SMV Scientific 4.5mm Solid Bone Screws consist of cortical screws in a variety of lengths to accommodate different anatomic sizes of patients. The screws are provided non-sterile and are self-tapping. Screws are manufactured from stainless steel.

INDICATIONS FOR USE

The SMV Scientific 4.5mm Bone Screws are intended to treat fractures of various bones including the clavicle, scapula, pelvis, long bones (humerus, ulna, radius, femur, tibia, and fibula), and small bones (metacarpals, metatarsals, and phalanges). The indications for the 4.5mm Bone Screw is similar to that of the predicate devices.

TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS

The SMV Scientific 4.5mm Bone Screw is made from stainless steel that conforms to ASTM F138. The subject and predicate device have nearly identical technological characteristics and the minor differences do not raise any new issues of safety and effectiveness. Specifically the following characteristics are identical between the subject and predicates:
