No
The device description and performance studies focus on the mechanical properties and surgical applications of a bone anchor, with no mention of AI or ML.

No.
A therapeutic device is one that treats a disease or condition. This device is used for soft tissue to bone attachment in surgeries to repair ligaments or tendons, which is a structural repair rather than a therapeutic treatment.

No

The device description and intended use indicate that this is a surgical anchor designed for soft tissue to bone attachment, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is made from surgical grade stainless steel or titanium and is designed with a crown and center pin, indicating it is a physical implantable device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use/Indications for Use: The intended use clearly describes the device as being used for surgical procedures to attach soft tissue to bone in various anatomical locations (shoulder, hand/wrist, foot/ankle, elbow, knee). This is a surgical implant, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body.
  • Device Description: The description details the materials and design of a surgical anchor, which is consistent with a surgical implant.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a surgical implant or medical device used in surgical procedures, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

§ 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.
