No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical properties and biocompatibility of the interference screws, with no mention of AI or ML technology.
Yes
The device is described as an "interference screw system" used for the "reattachment and fixation of tissue" during surgical procedures to address various soft tissue injuries and transfers in multiple anatomical sites. This function of directly aiding in the physical repair and stabilization of biological soft tissues for restoration of function falls within the scope of therapeutic devices.
No
The device is an interference screw system used for soft tissue reattachment and fixation during surgery, not for diagnosing medical conditions.
No
The device description clearly states that the device is a family of interference screws manufactured from physical materials (HA Enhanced PEEK or titanium alloy) with physical features (threaded shank, cannulation hole, multiple drive mating interface, tantalum pins). This indicates it is a hardware device, not software only.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical implant for fixing soft tissue (ligaments and tendons) within the body. This is a therapeutic and structural function, not a diagnostic one.
- Device Description: The device is described as a physical screw made of materials like PEEK or titanium, designed for mechanical fixation. This aligns with a surgical implant, not a device used to test samples outside the body.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health. This device is a surgical tool and implant used directly within the body for structural support and fixation.

DEVICE DESCRIPTION
The Multi-Drive Interference Screw System is a family of interference screws for the reattachment and fixation of tissue in surgeries of the shoulder, elbow, knee, foot/ankle, and hand /wrist. The interference screws are manufactured from HA Enhanced PEEK or titanium alloy in multiple lengths and diameters with key features including a threaded shank, cannulation hole, and multiple drive mating interface. The HA PEEK versions also incorporate tantalum pins for imaging visibility.

SUMMARY OF NON-CLINICAL TESTING
No FDA performance standards have been established for the Multi-Drive Interference Screw System. The following testing was performed:
- . Mechanical testing in accordance with ASTM F543 including insertion testing, insertion/removal torque, and static axial pullout
- Engineering analysis comparison of mechanical strength
- . Pyrogenicity testing (LAL method), with results demonstrating bacterial endotoxins less than 20 EU/device in accordance with ANSI/AAMI ST72:2011/R2016
The results of these tests indicate that the Multi-Drive Interference Screw System is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
EQUIVALENCE TO PREDICATE DEVICES
Nvision believes that the Multi-Drive Interference Screw System is substantially equivalent to the identified predicate devices. The subject device has similar dimensions, and uses similar or identical materials. The subject device has the same indications for use and intended use, as well as similar technological characteristics (threaded screws in a range of diameters and lengths with a mating interface and central cannulation hole). The subject screw incorporates a multi-drive mating interface while the predicates utilize a single drive, and although this multi-drive offers additional options for insertion/removal, it utilizes the equivalent operating principle and function. These technological characteristics have undergone testing/analysis to ensure the subject device is equivalent to the predicates.
CONCLUSION
Based on the testing performed, including engineering analysis of mechanical strength, it can be concluded that the subject device does not raise new issues of safety or efficacy compared to the predicate devices. The similar indications for use, technological characteristics, and performance characteristics for the proposed Multi-Drive Interference Screw System are assessed to be substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
