The 510(k) summary describes a mechanical implant (cannulated screws) and its intended use for arthrodesis. There is no mention of software, image processing, AI, ML, or any data-driven components. The performance studies focus on material equivalence and biocompatibility, not algorithmic performance.
Yes
Explanation: The device is intended for "Arthrodesis of the metatarsal-phalangeal joint of the big toe," which is a surgical procedure to fuse a joint, indicating a therapeutic purpose.
No
The device is described as cannulated screws for arthrodesis (fusion of joints), which are therapeutic medical devices, not diagnostic. Its purpose is to treat a condition by mechanically fixing a joint, not to diagnose it.
No
The device description explicitly states it includes "BePOD® Arthrodesis cannulated screws," which are physical implants, and mentions "dedicated instrumentation supplied by the manufacturer," indicating 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 examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
- Device Description: The description clearly states that the BePOD® Cannulated Arthrodesis Screws are implanted into the body. They are a surgical implant used to fuse a joint.
- Intended Use: The intended use is for "Arthrodesis of the metatarsal-phalangeal joint of the big toe," which is a surgical procedure, not a diagnostic test performed on a specimen.
The information provided describes a surgical implant, not a device used for in vitro diagnostic testing.

§ 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.
