The summary describes a mechanical fixation device (screws) and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.
No.
The device is described as self-tapping screws and low profile emergency screws intended for fixation of bones, which is a surgical tool, not a therapeutic device.
No
The device description indicates that it is a system of self-tapping and low profile emergency screws intended for the fixation of bones, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function.
No
The device description explicitly states the device is a "self-tapping screw" and "low profile emergency screw," which are physical hardware components used for bone fixation.
Based on the provided text, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
- Device description: The description clearly states the device is a "self-tapping screw (STS) and low profile emergency screw (LPES)" intended for "fixation of bones of the maxillofacial and midfacial skeleton." This is a surgical implant used directly on the body, not for testing samples.
- Intended Use: The intended use is for "fixation of bones... affected by trauma or for reconstruction." This is a therapeutic/surgical application, not a diagnostic one.
The device is a surgical implant used for bone fixation, which falls under a different category of medical devices than IVDs.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Performance bench testing was performed in the form of verification testing to confirm substantial equivalence.
Verification test criteria and methods were identified to evaluate the performance of the subject screws according to the proposed limited patient population of pediatric patients older than 29 days and up to two (2) years of age (infants). Modification of the operating principle, pilot hole preparation, for the STS was additionally evaluated through performance testing. The impact of screw geometry modification on material properties during real-time degradation was evaluated. The following performance tests were performed to support the substantial equivalence determination of the subject screws to the predicate based on the modifications described:
- Insertion test: Passed, ASTM F2502
- Shear testing: Passed, ASTM F2502
- Pull-out test (after real-time degradation): Passed, ASTM F2502
- Inherent viscosity (after real-time degradation): Passed, ASTM F2502
The objective of insertion testing and shear-off testing is to show mechanical stability of the subject device screws during insertion. The objective of the pull-out testing is to demonstrate the subject device screws have sufficient retention in bone, or tensile strength, over the bone healing time, simulated through real time degradation. The objective of IV measurements was to measure the initial IV measurement and confirm that the geometry and process did not influence the starting molecular weight and thus the potential degradation properties of the subject device when compared to the predicate device. All verification testing concluded passing results.
A risk analysis and user validation testing were performed. The validation study was constructed to confirm use error is under control, a comprehension of the Instructions for Use (IFU) is understood, and user needs are met. With respect to the modifications made to the subject devices, the validation evaluated the usability of the workflow steps, functionality of the devices, compatibility of related products or processes, and knowledge comprehension of labeling and IFU. Specifically, the knowledge comprehension addressed the ability to comprehend the modification to the pilot hole preparation and the limitation to the patient population. The validation testing concluded a passing result based on the data collected and reviewed in the study.
Animal testing was not required.
Clinical testing was not required.

COMPARISON OF TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS WITH THE VI. PREDICATE DEVICE [§807.92(a)(6)]
The subject device is compared to its predicate device (and the reference device due to the Delta System screws - DZL) for substantial equivalence of technological characteristics based on the criteria of pilot hole preparation process flow, geometrical modifications, and patient population.
The technological characteristics of the subject device that remain the same as the predicate device include material of construction, manufacturing process, sterilization process, packaging materials, and anatomical area indication.
6
A. Pilot Hole Preparation Process Flow
The operational principle of the previously cleared Stryker Resorbable Fixation System is a cranio-maxillofacial plating system intended for use in the fixation of bones of the maxillofacial and midfacial skeleton, affected by trauma or for reconstruction. The method of pilot hole preparation has been modified for the self-tapping screw (STS) subject device. The predicate system requires pre-drilling and pre-tapping of the pilot hole prior to insertion. The STS subject screws require only pre-drilling of the pilot hole prior to screw insertion, thus removing the pre-tapping step. No modifications of principles of operation are made to the low profile emergency screw (LPES) subject device.
B. Geometry Modifications
The subject devices incorporate a modification to the geometry to support the mechanical functionality of a self-tapping screw. Modifications to the subject devices include the thread geometry and screw head dimensions. The interfaces for the subject screws have been reviewed, confirming there is no impact to the intended product interfaces of the subject screws as compared to the predicate screws.
C. Patient Population
The subject devices, the self-tapping screw and low profile emergency screw, have a limited patient population of pediatric patients older than 29 days and up to two (2) years of age (infants), compared to the predicate device Delta System, which has a patient population of adults and a pediatric population to include neonate, infant, children, and adolescent patients.
D. Materials
As mentioned before, there is no change in material between the subject devices and the predicate device products. Implants are made of a copolymer of poly lactide and poly glycolide.
E Dimensions
The subject devices, the self-tapping screw and low profile emergency screw, have limited modifications to the dimensions, as described in the above geometry modifications. A comparison of length and diameter are shown in the table below.

VII. PERFORMANCE DATA [§807.92(b)(7)]
The modifications for the subject devices in this submission include a limited patient population of pediatric patients older than 29 days and up to two (2) years of age (infants). removal of the tapping step from pilot hole preparation (self-tapping screw [STS] only), and screw geometry. The limited patient population was determined based on a business decision, focusing new product introduction on our primary customer and patient base, of pediatric patients older than 29 days and up to two (2) years of age (infants). Verification and validation testing protocols were constructed to ensure testing captured this specific limited patient population, in accordance with the FDA 2014 guidance Premarket Assessment of Pediatric Medical Devices.
The material of construction, manufacturing process, sterilization process, and packaging materials remain unchanged compared to the predicate, therefore biocompatibility testing, shelf life testing, and sterilization testing were leveraged from the predicate system (K21377). Bioburden tests were performed to further affirm no new worst-case is introduced with the modified screw geometries, which concluded a passing result.
Verification test criteria and methods were identified to evaluate the performance of the subject screws according to the proposed limited patient population of pediatric patients older than 29 days and up to two (2) years of age (infants). Modification of the operating principle, pilot hole preparation, for the STS was additionally evaluated through performance testing. The impact of screw geometry modification on material properties during real-time degradation was evaluated. The following performance tests were performed to support the substantial equivalence determination of the subject screws to the predicate based on the modifications described:
| Characteristic | Test | Result | Standards |
|---|---|---|---|
| Verification test | Insertion test | Passed | ASTM F2502 |
| Verification test | Shear testing | Passed | ASTM F2502 |
| Verification test after | |||
| real-time degradation | Pull-out test | Passed | ASTM F2502 |
| Verification test after | |||
| real-time degradation | Inherent viscosity | Passed | ASTM F2502 |
The objective of insertion testing and shear-off testing is to show mechanical stability of the subject device screws during insertion. The objective of the pull-out testing is to demonstrate the subject device screws have sufficient retention in bone, or tensile strength, over the bone healing time, simulated through real time degradation. The objective of IV measurements was to
8
measure the initial IV measurement and confirm that the geometry and process did not influence the starting molecular weight and thus the potential degradation properties of the subject device when compared to the predicate device. All verification testing concluded passing results.
A risk analysis and user validation testing-were performed. The validation study was constructed to confirm use error is under control, a comprehension of the Instructions for Use (IFU) is understood, and user needs are met. With respect to the modifications made to the subject devices, the validation evaluated the usability of the workflow steps, functionality of the devices, compatibility of related products or processes, and knowledge comprehension of labeling and IFU. Specifically, the knowledge comprehension addressed the ability to comprehend the modification to the pilot hole preparation and the limitation to the patient population. The validation testing concluded a passing result based on the data collected and reviewed in the study.
Performance Bench Testing
Performance bench testing was performed in the form of verification testing to confirm substantial equivalence. See Table 5-2.
Animal Testing
Animal testing was not required as a basis for substantial equivalence.
Clinical Testing [§807.92(b)(2)]
Clinical testing was not required as a basis for substantial equivalence.
VIII. CONCLUSION [§807.92(b)(3)]
In summary, the Stryker self-tapping screw (DualStart Screw) and low profile emergency screw additions to the Styker Resorbable Fixation System is substantially equivalent to its predicate device. The modifications proposed for the subject devices include the removal of a pilot hole preparation step (STS only), screw geometry modification, and restriction of the patient population. The material of construction, sterilization process, manufacturing process, packaging components, and anatomical area intended use / indication remain unchanged and identical to the predicate system. The scope of modifications concludes no impact to biocompatibility, sterilization, and shelf life. The performance verification testing supports that the performance of the subject screws is substantially equivalent to the predicate. Overall, the modifications do not raise new questions of safety or effectiveness. According to the comparison based on the requirements of 21 CFR 807.87 and the information provided herein, it is concluded that the information included in this submission supports substantial equivalence to the predicate device.
