No
The device description and performance studies focus on the material properties and mechanical strength of a shape memory alloy staple, with no mention of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is a bone fixation appliance intended to permanently implant, used for fixing osteotomies and arthrodesis of foot bones and joints. This direct intervention to treat a medical condition qualifies it as a therapeutic device.

No

Explanation: The device is described as a "bone fixation appliance" for "fixing osteotomies and arthrodesis." Its purpose is to physically stabilize bones, not to diagnose a condition or disease.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "single use bone fixation appliance intended to be permanently implanted" and is made of a "shape memory Nickel-Titanium alloy," indicating it is a physical hardware device, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "Fixing the osteotomies and arthrodesis of the mid fout bones, the metatarsals, the phalanges, and associated joints of the foot." This describes a surgical procedure to fix bones, not a test performed on samples from the human body to provide diagnostic information.
  • Device Description: The device is described as a "single use bone fixation appliance intended to be permanently implanted." This is a surgical implant, not a diagnostic tool.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any of the typical characteristics of an IVD, such as analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue), detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a surgical implant or bone fixation device, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Prong separation tests were performed on the Memory Staple and the Landos Standard Staple. The results showed that the Memory Staple had more than twice the strength of the Landos Staple. Successful clinical use of the Memory Staple in 315 osteolomies of the great toc between 1991-1994 was reported by Barouk in 1994.

§ 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.
