No
The device description is solely focused on the physical characteristics of the screws and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing capabilities that would indicate the use of AI/ML.

No.
The device is a series of titanium alloy screws used for fixation of fractures and arthrodesis, which are structural implants and not designed for therapeutic purposes in the sense of delivering treatment or therapy.

No
Explanation: The device description indicates it is a series of titanium screws used for fixing fractures or arthrodesis, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a series of titanium alloy screws, which are physical hardware components, not software.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Device Description: The provided description clearly states the device is a series of titanium alloy screws used for surgical fixation of bones (fractures and arthrodesis).
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for surgical procedures to stabilize bones in specific anatomical locations.

This device is a surgical implant used for orthopedic procedures, not a diagnostic test performed on biological samples.

§ 888.3030 Single/multiple component metallic bone fixation appliances and accessories.

(a)
Identification. Single/multiple component metallic bone fixation appliances and accessories are devices intended to be implanted consisting of one or more metallic components and their metallic fasteners. The devices contain a plate, a nail/plate combination, or a blade/plate combination that are made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, stainless steel, and titanium, that are intended to be held in position with fasteners, such as screws and nails, or bolts, nuts, and washers. These devices are used for fixation of fractures of the proximal or distal end of long bones, such as intracapsular, intertrochanteric, intercervical, supracondylar, or condylar fractures of the femur; for fusion of a joint; or for surgical procedures that involve cutting a bone. The devices may be implanted or attached through the skin so that a pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system.(b)
Classification. Class II.

The Resch Fixation Screw is a series of titanium allov screws, commercially pure or TMZF allov, available in a 2.7mm diameter and lengths of 10mm to 40mm. The Resch Fixation Screws are intended to be used for Fractures or Arthrodesis of Carpals and Metacarpals, Radial Head and Radial Styloid Fractures, Metatarsal Fractures and Osteotomies of the Forefoot, and Intra-articular arthrodesis in the wrist. The screws are available with or without washers(used to prevent the head of the screw from sinking into osteoporotic bone), and are cannulated, fully threaded, and self-tapping.

The substantial equivalence of the Resch Fixation Screw is based on an equivalence in design, materials, intended use, and operational principles to Synthes' 3.0mm & 3.5mm Cannulated Screw Systems, Alphatec's Mini Lag Screw System, and Howmedica's Alta Modular Small Bone Plating System and Cfx Intramedullary Rod and Screw System.
