The 510(k) summary describes a mechanical orthopedic screw and does not mention any software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.
Yes.
The device is used to repair bone fractures and provide support to bone structures, which directly addresses a medical condition (fractures) and supports healing, thus acting as a therapeutic device.
No
Explanation: The device is described as an osteosynthesis screw used for bone fracture repair and fixation, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function. It provides structural support and stability, not diagnostic information.
No
The device description clearly states it is a physical screw made of Titanium alloy used in surgical orthopedic interventions, indicating it is a hardware device.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- BRM TOOL Screws Function: The description clearly states that the BRM TOOL Screws are used in surgical orthopedic interventions to provide support to bone structures, reduce fractures, and fix bone fragments. They are implanted directly into the body.
- Lack of Specimen Analysis: There is no mention of the device analyzing any biological specimens taken from the patient.
The information provided describes a surgical implant used for bone repair, which falls under the category of orthopedic devices, not in vitro diagnostics.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The BRM TOOL Screws are indicated for use for aligned bone fracture repair and arthrodesis, osteotomy, joint fusion and bone fragment fixation appropriate with the size of the screw.

Device Description
The BRM TOOL Screws are interfragmentary compression osteosynthesis screws, i.e., devices used in surgical orthopedic interventions to provide support to the bone, ligament, tendon or cartilage structure, with the aim to reduce fractures in several parts of the skeleton, particularly of bone epiphyses. The application field excludes spinal, rib cage and skull bones. The BRM TOOL Screws are available in Titanium alloy.

§ 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 Margeaux Rogers:
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. Although this letter refers to your product as a device, please be aware that some cleared products may instead be combination products. The 510(k) Premarket Notification Database located at https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfpmn/pmn.cfm identifies combination product submissions. 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. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.

Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies. You must comply with all the Act's requirements, including, but not limited to: registration and listing (21 CFR Part 807); labeling (21 CFR Part 801: medical device reporting (reporting of medical device-related adverse events) (21 CFR 803) for devices or postmarketing safety reporting (21 CFR 4, Subpart B) for combination products (see https://www.fda.gov/combination-products/guidance-regulatory-information/postmarketing-safety-reportingcombination-products); good manufacturing practice requirements as set forth in the quality systems (QS) regulation (21 CFR Part 820) for devices or current good manufacturing practices (21 CFR 4, Subpart A) for combination products; and, if applicable, the electronic product radiation control provisions (Sections 531-542 of the Act); 21 CFR 1000-1050.
Also, please note the regulation entitled, "Misbranding by reference to premarket notification" (21 CFR Part 807.97). For questions regarding the reporting of adverse events under the MDR regulation (21 CFR Part 803), please go to https://www.fda.gov/medical-device-safety/medical-device-reportingmdr-how-report-medical-device-problems.
