Device Description
The Surgical Dynamics™ Bone Pin** is a resorbable fixation pin intended for fixation of small bone fragments in non-load bones with appropriate immobilization. It will be available in a range of sizes and will be supplied without attached K-wires.
More Information

No
The summary describes a resorbable bone pin for fixation and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.

Yes
The device is intended for fixation of bone fragments, which is a therapeutic intervention.

No
The device is described as a fixation pin for small bone fragments, indicating it is a treatment or surgical device, not one that identifies a disease or condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "resorbable fixation pin," which is a physical hardware component, 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 the fixation of small bone fragments within the body. This is a surgical procedure performed in vivo (within a living organism).
  • Device Description: The device is a resorbable fixation pin designed to be implanted in bone. This is a medical device used for treatment, not for testing samples in vitro (outside of a living organism).
  • 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, etc.)
    • Providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status
    • Using reagents or assays

IVDs are devices used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This bone pin does not fit that description.

§ 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.
