No
The summary describes a mechanical bone screw and does not mention any software, image processing, AI, or ML capabilities.

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 applications.

No
Explanation: The device is described as a "threaded bone fixation screw" used for "fixation of fracture, fusion of a joint or bone reconstruction." This indicates it is a surgical implant used for treatment, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "threaded bone fixation screw" made of "titanium alloy," which are physical hardware components.

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 for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description: The provided 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 phalanges, metacarpals and carpals of the hand." This is a surgical implant used directly on the body for structural support and repair.

The device's function is mechanical and surgical, not diagnostic based on analyzing biological samples.

§ 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.
