No
The device description and performance studies focus solely on the mechanical properties and materials of bone screws and washers, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

Yes.
The device is intended to support normal bone healing for osteotomies, non-unions, and reconstructions, and is indicated for the treative fixation, nonunions, joint decompression and fusion, osteotomies, reconstruction, or arthrodeses of bones, all of which are considered therapeutic functions.

No

This device is designed for fixation of bones and reconstruction therapies, indicating a therapeutic rather than diagnostic purpose.

No

The device description explicitly states the system consists of screws and washers made of titanium alloy, which are physical hardware components.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to "support normal bone healing for osteotomies, non-unions and reconstructions" and for "treative fixation, nonunions, joint decompression and fusion, osteotomies, reconstruction or arthrodeses of bones." This describes a surgical implant used directly on the patient's body to treat a physical condition.
  • Device Description: The device is described as "compression screws" made of titanium alloy, intended for "internal fracture fixation." These are physical implants.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD device is used in vitro (outside the body) to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. The provided description does not mention any such use or interaction with bodily specimens for diagnostic purposes.

The device described is a surgical implant used for orthopedic procedures, which falls under the category of medical devices, but not specifically In Vitro Diagnostic devices.

§ 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.

7. Substantial Equivalence Discussion

The RECON system-compression screws have the same intended use, similar performance characteristics, are manufactured from similar materials and are similar in design to the predicate devices.

8. Non-Clinical Performance Data

  • Biocompatibility Biocompatibility testing on screws, and washer material was conducted and evaluated per ISO 10993-1. All testing passed.
  • -Self-tapping performance, driving and removal torque, torgue to failure and axial pullout of the RECON system- compression screws and the predicate devices, the Zimmer Universal Locking System (ULS) Plates and Screws (K063303 and K060710) and Herbert/Whipple Bone Screw System, Herbert Bone Screw, Herbert Cannulated Bone Screw System, Herbert Mini Bone Screw (K143165) and NCB Plating System (K061211, K042695) resulted in similar mechanical properties and performance. The subject and predicate devices are substantially equivalent.
  • -The subjected washer is substantially equivalent to the washers cleared in K151407.

9. Clinical Performance Data

There was no clinical testing required to support the medical device as the indications for use is equivalent to the predicate device. These types of devices, including the predicate devices, have been on the market for many years with a proven safety and efficacy for the use of the device.

Above the word "NORMED" is the phrase "The specialist for small bones". Below the word "NORMED" is the phrase "A ZIMMER COMPANY".

10. Statement of Substantial Equivalence

By definition, a device is substantially equivalent to a predicate device when the device has the same intended use and the same technological characteristics as the previously cleared predicate device. Or the device has the same intended use and different technological characteristics that can be demonstrated that the device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device, and that the new device does not raise different questions regarding its safety and effectiveness as compared to the predicate device.

It has been shown in this 510(k) submission that the difference between the RECON systemcompression screws and the predicate devices do not raise any questions regarding its safety and effectiveness.

Performance testing and compliance with voluntary standards, demonstrate that the RECON system -compression screws are substantially equivalent to the relevant aspects of the predicate devices in terms of design, components, materials, principals of operation, biocompatibility, performance characteristics, and intended use.

The RECON system-compression screws are determined to be substantially equivalent to the referenced predicate devices.
