N/A
No
The summary describes a physical implantable device (a bone screw) and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing related to AI/ML.
Yes
The device is intended for the fixation of meniscal lesions, which is a therapeutic intervention aimed at repairing damaged tissue.
No
Explanation: The device is a Meniscal Repair Device used for fixation of meniscus lesions, indicating it is a therapeutic or surgical device, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description clearly states it is a physical bone screw made of absorbable material, which is a hardware component, not software.
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. This information is used for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Description: The provided description clearly states that the Meniscal Repair Device is a bone screw made of absorbable material. It is implanted directly into the body to fix a meniscus lesion.
- Intended Use: The intended use is to provide fixation of a meniscus lesion through surgical implantation. This is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic test performed on a specimen outside the body.
The device is a surgical implant used for treatment, not a diagnostic tool.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The Meniscal Repair Device provides fixation of longitudinal vertical meniscus lesions (bucket-handle) located in the vascularized area of the meniscus.
Implantation of the interference screw is accomplished through arthroscopy or arthrotomy.

§ 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.
