Intended Use
The Threaded Fixation Pin is intended for patients where one of their small bones has been osteomized or fractured and the fragments are of sufficient size to place a .062 diameter threaded k-wire across to stabilize the part.
Device Description
The proposed device, the Threaded Fixation Pin, claims substantial equivalence to currently marketed devices: the Orthopaedic Biosystems Limited Threaded Fixation Pin. and the Synthes Threaded Kirschner Wires. The Orthopaedic Biosystems Limited Threaded Fixation Pin, the Synthes Threaded Kirschner Wire, and the proposed device are available in Titanium Alloy. All of these devices function as internal alignment and fixation devices for small bones of the hand and foot and have no significant design differences.

No
The summary describes a mechanical fixation device and makes no mention of AI or ML technology.

Yes
The device is intended to stabilize fractured bone fragments, which is a therapeutic intervention.

No

Explanation: The device is described as an "internal alignment and fixation device" for small bones, intended for stabilizing fractured or osteomized bones. Its function is to fix and align, not to diagnose a condition.

No

The device description explicitly states it is a "Threaded Fixation Pin" made of "Titanium Alloy," which are physical hardware components, not software.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states the device is for stabilizing bone fragments in patients with osteomized or fractured small bones. This is a surgical procedure performed in vivo (within the body).
  • Device Description: The description details a physical implantable device (a threaded pin/wire) used for internal fixation.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) in vitro (outside the body) to provide information about a patient's health. There's no mention of reagents, assays, or diagnostic testing.

IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the body to diagnose, monitor, or screen for diseases or conditions. This device is a surgical implant used for mechanical support and fixation.

§ 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.
