More Information

Not Found

No
The summary describes a bone screw, a mechanical device, and contains no mention of software, algorithms, image processing, or AI/ML terms.

No
The device is described as bone screws intended for trauma and reconstruction, which are surgical interventions rather than therapeutic treatments aimed at curing or alleviating a disease or condition.

No
The device is described as "bone screws intended for craniofacial and mandibular trauma and reconstruction," which are therapeutic or reconstructive functions, not diagnostic.

No

The 510(k) summary describes "DRG MF Ti Alloy Bone screws," which are physical implants made of titanium alloy. This clearly indicates a hardware device, not a software-only device.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "craniofacial and mandibular trauma and reconstruction." This describes a surgical or procedural use within the body, not a diagnostic test performed on samples taken from the body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.).
  • Device Description: While the description is "Not Found," the intended use strongly suggests a physical implant or surgical tool.
  • Lack of IVD Indicators: There is no mention of analyzing samples, diagnostic testing, or any of the typical characteristics of an IVD.

IVDs are devices used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or screening purposes. The DRG MF Ti Alloy Bone screws, as described, are used for structural support and repair within the body.
