More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a mechanical bone screw system and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.

Yes
The device, the GEO Bone Screw System, is indicated for treating medical conditions such as bone fractures, arthrodesis, osteochondritis, and tendon reattachment, which directly address a disease or condition.

No
The device is described as an implant used for treating bone fractures and other related conditions, not for diagnosing them.

No

The device description explicitly states that the device includes physical implants (bone screws, washers, k-wires) and general orthopedic instruments, which are hardware components.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health. These tests are performed outside of the body.
  • Device Description: The GEO Bone Screw System is an implantable device used to fix bone fractures and perform other orthopedic procedures within the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for surgical procedures involving bone, not for analyzing biological samples.

The information provided clearly describes a surgical implant, not a diagnostic test performed on samples.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

An engineering analysis was performed for torsional strength and pullout strength for worst case GEO bone screws and comparable worst case predicate bone screws. This analysis showed the GEO Bone Screw results to be equivalent or better than that of the predicate. Pyrogenicity (LAL) testing was conducted on worst case bone screw/washers using the gel-clot method. The results from the pyrogen testing show the EU levels below the limit. Based on these data, the GEO Bone Screws have the design, geometry and mechanical properties suitable for performing its intended use. No clinical performance data were needed to support substantial equivalence.

§ 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 Ms. Mary Biggers:

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.
