Intended Use
The devices are intended to treat fractures of various bones, including the clavicle, scapula, pelvis, long bone (humerus, ulna, radius, femur, tibia and fibula), and small bone (metatsals, and phalanges) according to the standard of the AO Foundation (AO Principles of Fracture Management). All aap bone screws are for single use only and are not intended for any spinal fixation procedures.
Device Description
The aap Cortical Screws 1.5, self-tapping are bone screws, to be implanted by a surgeon in order to achieve an internal fixation of bone fragments typically after fractures or osteotomies. The screws can be used along with the aap bone plate as well as lag screws, to hold together fragments of bone. The devices are made of Implant Stainless Steel or Titanium alloy.

More Information

Not Found

No
The 510(k) summary describes a mechanical bone screw and plate system for fracture fixation. There is no mention of software, image processing, AI, ML, or any data-driven components. The description focuses solely on the physical characteristics and intended use of the implantable hardware.

Yes
The device is intended to "treat fractures," which is a therapeutic purpose. It achieves this by providing "internal fixation of bone fragments," which aids in bone healing.

No
The device is described as bone screws intended to treat fractures by internal fixation and does not perform any diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly states the device is a bone screw made of metal, which is a physical hardware component, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the devices are "intended to treat fractures of various bones... to achieve an internal fixation of bone fragments typically after fractures or osteotomies." This describes a surgical implant used for structural support within the body.
  • Device Description: The description details bone screws made of stainless steel or titanium alloy, designed to be implanted by a surgeon. This is consistent with a surgical device, not a diagnostic test.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Function: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze samples (blood, tissue, etc.) or provide information about a patient's health status or disease. IVDs are used for diagnostic purposes, not for treating or repairing the body directly.

The information provided describes a surgical implant used for orthopedic procedures, which falls under the category of medical devices, but not specifically In Vitro Diagnostics.

§ 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. Christian Zietsch:

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.
