No
The device description and intended use are for a mechanical bone screw, and there is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or performance studies related to algorithmic analysis.

Yes
The device is described as a "threaded bone fixation screw" used for "fixation of fracture, fusion of a joint or bone reconstruction," which are therapeutic interventions.

No
Explanation: The device description states its intended use is for "Fixation of fracture, fusion of a joint or bone reconstruction". This indicates it is a surgical implant used for treatment, not for diagnosing a condition.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "threaded bone fixation screw" made of "titanium alloy," indicating it is a physical hardware device.

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, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device Description and Intended Use: The description clearly states the device is a "threaded bone fixation screw" used for "Fixation of fracture, fusion of a joint or bone reconstruction (osteotomy) of the mid-foot, metatarsals and phalanges of the foot." This is a surgical implant used directly on the body for structural support and repair.

Therefore, based on its function and intended use, this device falls under the category of a surgical implant or orthopedic device, 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.
