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 or ML.

No.
The device is described as a non-active bone surgery implant for the fixation of bone grafts and fractures, which serves a mechanical support function rather than treating a disease or condition in a therapeutic manner.

No

Explanation: The device, the Micro Screw System, is described as a non-active bone surgery implant used for the fixation of bone blocks and fractures. Its function is to provide structural support, not to diagnose a condition or disease.

No

The device description explicitly states it contains "osteosynthesis screws made of surgical stainless steel," 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 clearly states the device is a "non-active bone surgery implant for the treatment of bone fractures, especially for the fixation of transplanted bone blocks during the augmentation process in the oral cavity and maxillomandibular surgical field." This describes a surgical device used directly on the patient's body for structural support and fixation.
  • Device Description: The description confirms it's used for "safe fixation and stabilisation of cortical bone grafts" and contains "osteosynthesis screws made of surgical stainless steel." This further reinforces its role as a surgical implant.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. IVDs are typically used in laboratories or point-of-care settings to analyze biological samples.

Therefore, the Micro Screw System and Micro Screw System Basic are surgical implants, not In Vitro Diagnostic devices.

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

Several performance tests have been performed with the result that the design and function are equivalent to the predicted devices.
Performance testing: Several performance tests were conducted according to ASTM F543-17 to demonstrate SE:

  • A1: Torsional properties ("to measure the torsional vield strength, maximum torque, and breaking angle of the bone screw under standard conditions.")
  • A2: Driving torque ("to measure the torque required to drive a bone screw into a standard material.")
  • A3: Axial pullout strength ("to measure the axial tensile force required to fail or remove a bone screw from a defined material.")

Key results: The Meisinger Micro Screws show higher insertion torques but also higher maximal torque compared to stoma bone screws. The final ratio of these two parameters is comparable between the screws (~9 vs. ~10). The breaking angle of the subject device was demonstrated to be equivalent to the predicate. However, the ductility of Meisinger Micro Screws is acceptable according to ASTM F543-17. The torques for insertion were demonstrated to be substantially equivalent between Meisinger Micro Screws and the predicate. The axial pullout strength showed comparable values for both analyzed screws.

  • ISO 10993-5: Biological evaluation of medical devices — Part 5: Tests for in vitro cytotoxicity

Several performance tests have been performed with the result that the design and function are equivalent to the predicted devices.

  • . Sterilization
    The sterilization validation was conducted according to ISO 17664. ISO 17665-1, ISO 11737-1 and -2, ANSI/AAMI ST79, ANSI/AAMI ST81, ISO 14937, ISO 11607-1 and DIN EN 868-2. The micro screws were successfully steam sterilized in 3 independent cycles following the reprocessing instructions of the test item's manufacturer (using the half cycle procedure).

  • Shelf-life
    The subject as well as predicate devices are delivered non-sterile.

  • Biocompatibility .
    The proposed device uses the same material and manufacturing methods as the predicate device and the intended use and the tissue contact are similar. Standards for material (ASTM F138) and biological safety (acc. to ISO 7405, ISO 10993-1, -5, ISO 14971) are met. The screws were shown to be non-cytotoxic in a cytotoxicity test. No claims to pyrogenicity are made. A chemical characterization following the cleaning process that includes these screws as well as products of comparable material (1.4197 stainless steel) showed that the screws

K201210 - 510(k) Traditional Micro Screw System, Micro Screw System Basic

510(k) Summary

are safe in terms of auxiliary substances. Furthermore, concerns for physical complications regarding implantation are negligible as demonstrated by the long-term use of the predicate device that is comparable in construction and complexity. According to ISO 10993-1 (6.3.2.13) degradation aspects are also negligible, because the screws are not intended to be absorbed.

  • Performance testing
    Several performance tests were conducted according to ASTM F543-17 to demonstrate SE:

  • A1: Torsional properties ("to measure the torsional vield strength, maximum torque, and breaking angle of the bone screw under standard conditions.")

  • A2: Driving torque ("to measure the torque required to drive a bone screw into a standard material.")

  • A3: Axial pullout strength ("to measure the axial tensile force required to fail or remove a bone screw from a defined material.")

The Meisinger Micro Screws show higher insertion torques but also higher maximal torque compared to stoma bone screws. The final ratio of these two parameters is comparable between the screws (~9 vs. ~10). The breaking angle of the subject device was demonstrated to be equivalent to the predicate. However, the ductility of Meisinger Micro Screws is acceptable according to ASTM F543-17. The torques for insertion were demonstrated to be substantially equivalent between Meisinger Micro Screws and the predicate. The axial pullout strength showed comparable values for both analyzed screws.

7. Basis for substantial equivalence

The intended use and the technological characteristics are similar. The performance characteristics are also equivalent to the predicate device. Biocompatibility was demonstrated through a biocompatibility risk assessment and applicable testing in accordance with the requirements of ISO 10993-1. The subject as well as the predicate device can be sterilized with the same method. Based on this information we conclude that the Micro screws are substantially equivalent to the legally marketed predicate device.
