No
The device description and intended use clearly define a system of mechanical bone screws and associated instrumentation for fracture fixation. There is no mention of any software, algorithms, or data processing capabilities that would suggest the use of AI or ML. The submission relies on dimensional comparison to predicate devices, not performance studies based on data analysis.
Yes
The device, a Cannulated Lag Screw System, is used for fracture fixation, arthrodesis, and osteotomy, which are all procedures aimed at treating or alleviating a disease, injury, or medical condition.
No
Explanation: The Ascent Medical - PHIN-FX Cannulated Lag Screw System is a surgical implant designed to fix bone fractures, osteotomies, and arthrodeses. Its purpose is to physically stabilize bone fragments, not to diagnose medical conditions or diseases.
No
The device description clearly states it is a "complement of various cannulated bone screws" and describes physical components made of stainless steel or titanium. It also mentions associated instrumentation. This is a hardware medical device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
- Device Function: The Ascent Medical - PHIN-FX Cannulated Lag Screw System is a surgical implant used to fix bone fractures and perform other orthopedic procedures. It is physically inserted into the body to provide structural support and stability to bones.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for drawing bone fragments together and fixing fractures, arthrodesis, and osteotomies. This is a therapeutic and structural function, not a diagnostic one based on in vitro analysis.
- No Mention of In Vitro Testing: The description and performance studies do not mention any testing of patient specimens outside the body. The device is used directly on the bone during surgery.
Therefore, the Ascent Medical - PHIN-FX Cannulated Lag Screw System is a surgical implant, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The intended use of the Ascent Medical - PHIN-FX Cannulated Lag Screw System is to draw two or more aligned bone fragments together in an adult patient.
The Ascent Medical - PHIN-FX Cannulated Laq Screw System is indicated for use for small and long bone fractures, arthrodesis and osteotomy fixation as follows:
The Mini and Small - PHIN-FX Cannulated Lag Screw Systems are indicated for small bone fractures and reduction of the glenoid and humeral head, medial malleolus and fibula, distal tibia and pilon, radius and ulna, olecranon and distal humerus, patella, pelvis, tarsal and fusions, metatarsal and phalangeal and with osteotomies, small bones in the hand and wrist, ligament fixation when appropriate, small joint fusion, and other small bone fragment cancellous fractures and osteotomies where the size of the screw/washer adapts to the specific indication.
The Large - PHIN-FX Cannulated Lag Screw System is indicated for long bone fractures and reduction of the intracapsular hip, slipped capital femoral epiphysis with proper image fluoroscopy for proper screw placement, femoral condyles, tibia condyles, ankle arthrodesis, large bone calcaneus and talus, acetabulum, sacroiliac and pelvic disruptions, and other areas where accurate screw/washer placement in long bone is required and adapts to the specific indication.
The Ascent Medical - PHIN-FX Cannulated Lag Screw System is not for spinal use.

Device Description
The Ascent Medical – PHIN-FX Cannulated Lag Screw System is a complement of various cannulated bone screws consisting of a 1). Mini Set of 2.0mm, 2.5mm, 3.0mm; 2). Small Set of 3.5mm, 4.0mm, 5.0mm; and 3). Large Set of 6.5mm and 7.3mm sizes with a Short or Long Thread length in numerous screw lengths to be used by the surgeon for various indications in the fracture fixation of small and long bone(s) in the human anatomy. All screws feature a cancellous thread form and are pre-drilling, self-tapping, and back-tapping (if removal is necessary) in design. All screws are used in conjunction with a appropriate sized Guide Wire and x-ray imaging for precise placement in bone across the fracture/osteotomy site. Associated matched size Washers for each screw size system are available for thin cortex or osteopenic bone where the screw head may break through. All Ascent Medical – PHIN-FX System cannulated bone screws & washers are manufactured from either high strength 316LVM Stainless Steel or 6-4 Alloyed Titanium materials. The titanium screws and washers are color anodized as a surface treatment for size recognition. A full compliment of instrumentation is available for use with the system. All implants and instrumentation are designated 'Non-sterile' in a tray/case system for 'single use' and sterilization by the end user.

§ 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)
