Intended Use
The SMV Scientific 2.4mm and 3.0mm Cannulated Screws are intended for fixation of fractures and non-unions of small bones and small bone arthrodesis. Examples include, but are not limited to scaphoid and other carpal fractures, metacarpal and phalangeal fusions, osteotomies, and bunionectomies. The SMV Scientific 3.5mm Cannulated Screws are intended for fixation of small bones and small bone fragments, such as fractures of the metatarsals, arthrodeses of the carpals and phalanges, steochondritis dissecans, and ligament fixation. The SMV Scientific 4.5mm Cannulated Screws is intended for fracture fixation of long bones and long bone fragments. The SMV Scientific 6.5mm and 7.3mm Cannulated Screws are intended for fracture fixation of large bones and large bone fragments, femoral neck fractures, slipped capital femoral epiphyses, as an adjunct to DHS in basilar neck fractures, tibial plateau fractures, ankle arthrodesis, pediatric femoral neck fractures, intercondylar femur fractures, and subtalar arthrodesis.
Device Description
The SMV Scientific Cannulated Bone Screws consist of cannulated screws in a variety of lengths and diameters to accommodate different anatomic sizes of patients. The screws are provided non-sterile. Screws are manufactured from Stainless Steel per ASTM F138 or Titanium per ASTM F136 or F1295.
More Information

Not Found

No
The device description and intended use are for standard bone screws, and there is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or any data-driven analytical capabilities.

Yes
The device is described as "Cannulated Bone Screws" intended for "fixation of fractures and non-unions" and "arthrodesis," which are therapeutic interventions.

No

This device, SMV Scientific Cannulated Bone Screws, is intended for the fixation of fractures and non-unions of bones and bone arthrodesis, which is a therapeutic function, not a diagnostic one.

No

The device description explicitly states the device consists of "cannulated screws" made from Stainless Steel or Titanium, which are physical hardware components.

No, 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, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The provided text clearly describes the SMV Scientific Cannulated Screws as implants used for the fixation of fractures and non-unions of bones. They are surgically inserted into the body.
  • Lack of Specimen Analysis: There is no mention of the device being used to analyze any biological specimens.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the SMV Scientific Cannulated Screws are not IVD devices. They are surgical implants.

§ 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.

TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS

The subject and predicate devices have nearly identical technological characteristics and the minor differences do not raise any new issues of safety and effectiveness. Engineering analysis and dimensional comparison with the predicate devices supported substantial equivalence. Specifically the following characteristics are identical between the subject and predicates:

  • Indications for Use ●
  • Materials of manufacture ●
  • Principles of operation ●
