More Information

Not Found

No
The summary provides no information about the device description, image processing, AI/ML mentions, or performance studies that would indicate the use of AI/ML. The intended use and anatomical site suggest a mechanical bone fixation device.

Yes
The device is intended for "Fixation of bone fragments," which directly addresses and treats a medical condition (bone fractures, bone reconstructions, bone traction), thus classifying it as a therapeutic device.

No
The device is used for fixation of bone fragments (bone fractures, bone reconstructions, bone traction), which is a treatment, not a diagnostic function.

Unknown

The provided 510(k) summary lacks a device description, making it impossible to determine if the device is software-only or includes hardware components. The intended use (fixation of bone fragments) strongly suggests a physical device, but without a description, this cannot be confirmed.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is "Fixation of bone fragments" for "Bone fractures," "Bone reconstructions," and "Bone traction." These are all procedures performed on the patient's body to treat a physical condition.
  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics (IVDs) are tests performed on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description doesn't mention any analysis of biological samples, laboratory procedures, or diagnostic purposes.

The device described is a medical device used for surgical or orthopedic procedures, not for in vitro diagnostic testing.

Device Description

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-molbdenum 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.

§ 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)
