Intended Use
The Sterile Modular Drill Bit is indicated for use in general orthopedic procedures to predrill bone in preparation for bone screw placement
Device Description
The Exactech Sterile Drill Bit is intended for use in orthopedic procedures for drilling bone. The drill bit is designed with a 120° point angle for smooth, effective, bone cutting. The 30° helix angle maintains strength, but provides an efficient channel by which cut bone may escape. The outer diameter (OD) tolerance and associated drill bit guide geometry minimize drill bit damage. The five (5) modular bits are designed in long and short versions. They have a high tolerance press fit cross pin that provides easy assembly and disassembly with positive bayonet style locking capability in both the flexible and fixed angle drill bit drivers. All bits are constructed of 455 stainless steel for strength, hardness and resistance to wear.

No
The description focuses on the mechanical design and materials of a drill bit, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

No
The device is a tool used in surgical procedures and is not intended to provide therapy or treatment for a disease or condition.

No
Explanation: The device description states its use is for drilling bone in preparation for bone screw placement, indicating a therapeutic or surgical function rather than a diagnostic one.

No

The device description clearly describes a physical drill bit made of stainless steel, which is a hardware component. There is no mention of software as the primary or sole component of the device.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "to predrill bone in preparation for bone screw placement" in general orthopedic procedures. This is a surgical tool used directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The description details a physical drill bit designed for cutting bone.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples (blood, tissue, etc.) in vitro (outside the body) to diagnose a condition, monitor treatment, or screen for diseases.

IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening. This drill bit is a surgical instrument used for a mechanical purpose during a procedure.

Exactech Sterile Modular Drill Bit

The Exactech Sterile Modular Drill Bit is made of similar materials and is of a similar design to devices that were on the market before May 28, 1976. Additionally, the Sterile Drill Bit is of a similar design to other devices on the market that have been determined to be equivalent to devices on the market prior to May 28, 1976. These predicates include, but are not limited to:

  • DePuy Drill Bit .
    ンな

Similarities/Dissimilarities:

The DePuy drill system is similar to the Exactech system in that the cross pin in the bit and the bayonet locking mechanism operate in a like fashion. The flex shafts are both multiple wrapped springs. They differ in the diameters and lengths of the bits that are offered in the system. The DePuv flex shaft is slightly longer and the Exactech flex shaft is slightly stiffer. The DePuy shaft has a Hudson locking end and the Exactech flex shaft has a Trinkle locking end. The 45° fixed angle drivers are similar in all fashions.

Exactech, Inc. has supplied advertisements, brochures and/or catalog information from these companies to the FDA as evidence of equivalency. This literature is in the public domain. In addition, Exactech has provided the FDA design drawings, material specifications and photos of the Sterile Modular Drill Bit.
