No
The 510(k) summary describes a simple mechanical device (suture washer and screw) and makes no mention of AI, ML, or any related computational or image processing technologies.

No
A therapeutic device is one that treats or cures a disease or condition. This device is used for fixation of soft tissue and bone, which is a structural support function, not a treatment.

No
Explanation: The "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section states the device is "intended for soft tissue fixation, small bone fixation, and large bone fixation," which describes a therapeutic or assistive function, not a diagnostic one. There is no mention of identifying or characterizing diseases or conditions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical washer made of titanium alloy, which is a hardware component.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description: The Acumed Suture Washer is a physical implantable device used for fixing soft tissue and bone. It is used in the body, not to test samples from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states "soft tissue fixation, small bone fixation, and large bone fixation," which are surgical procedures performed directly on the patient.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the Acumed Suture Washer is a surgical implant, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 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.
