No
The summary describes a mechanical device for securing a graft and does not mention any AI/ML terms or functionalities.

Yes
The device is intended for fixing a bone graft during ACL reconstruction, which is a surgical procedure to repair a damaged ligament, thus serving a therapeutic purpose.

No

The device is described as an ACL Fixator, intended to secure a bone-Patellar Tendon-bone graft during ACL reconstruction. Its function is to provide a means of securing a graft, not to detect, diagnose, or monitor a medical condition.

No

The device description explicitly states the device is made from Titanium alloy, indicating it is a physical hardware device.

Based on the provided information, the QuestLock ACL Fixator is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is to secure a bone-Patellar Tendon-bone graft during ACL reconstruction. This is a surgical procedure performed in vivo (within the living body).
  • Device Description: The device is a physical implant made of titanium alloy, designed to be placed within the body.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as:
    • Analyzing samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.)
    • Providing diagnostic information
    • Using reagents or assays
    • Performing tests in vitro (outside the living body)

The QuestLock ACL Fixator is a surgical implant used to facilitate a surgical repair, not a device used for diagnosis or testing of samples.

§ 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.
