The summary describes a purely mechanical orthopedic implant (screws and washers) and makes no mention of any software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.
Yes
The device is described as "Cannulated Screws" intended for "bone fracture fixation and bone fragment fixation" for various parts of the body, which directly implies a therapeutic function by treating injuries.
No
These screws are used for "bone fracture fixation and bone fragment fixation", which is a treatment, not a diagnosis.
No
The device description explicitly states that the device is manufactured of Titanium Alloy and Stainless Steel, indicating it is a physical hardware device (screws and washers).
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
- Device Description: The description clearly states that this device is a cannulated screw and washer made of metal, intended for bone fracture fixation. These are physical implants used directly in the body during surgery.
- Intended Use: The intended use is to fix bone fractures and fragments, which is a surgical procedure, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.
The information provided describes a surgical implant, not a device used for in vitro testing.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
aap's Cannulated Screws are intended for use over a guide pin or wire for bone fracture fixation and bone fragment fixation. aap's Washers may be used with the screws in certain applications.
Specific indications, which are dependent in part on the diameter of the screw, include:
- scaphoid fractures and other fractures of the hand;
- metatarsal fractures and other fractures of the foot;
- malleolar fractures,
- ligament fixation of the proximal humerus;
- wrist, ankle, shoulder and elbow fractures;
- fractures of the pelvis and acetabulum:
- femoral neck and fractures:
- femoral supracondylar fractures; and
- tibial plateau fractures.

§ 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.
