The 510(k) summary describes a physical implantable device (an interference screw) and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing capabilities that would indicate the use of AI or ML. The "SmartScrew" name appears to be a brand name, not indicative of intelligent functionality.
Yes
The device is described as an "interference screw" intended for "fixation of bone-patellar tendon - bone and soft tissue grafts in anterior and posterior cruciate ligament reconstructions," which directly addresses a medical condition or injury.
No
Explanation: The device is an interference screw used for fixation during ligament reconstruction, which is a therapeutic purpose, not a diagnostic one.
No
The device description clearly states it is a "fully threaded, cannulated interference screw" made of poly-L/D-lactide copolymer, which is a physical implantable device, not software.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- SmartScrew ACL™ Function: The SmartScrew ACL™ is a surgical implant used to fix grafts during anterior and posterior cruciate ligament reconstructions. It is a physical device inserted into the body to provide mechanical support.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical procedure and the device's role in that procedure, not a diagnostic test performed on a sample.
The information provided about the SmartScrew ACL™ describes a medical device used in surgery, not a diagnostic test.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use
The SmartScrew ACL™ is intended for use in interference fixation of bone-patellar tendon - bone and soft tissue grafts in anterior and posterior cruciate ligament reconstructions.
The SmartScrew ACL™ is not intended for use in and is contraindicated for 1) cruciate ligament reconstructions, which would not be appropriate for fixation with metallic screws and 2) situations, where intra-articular replacement is otherwise contraindicated, e.g., active or potential infection and where patient cooperation cannot be guaranteed (e.g., alcoholism).

§ 888.3030 Single/multiple component metallic bone fixation appliances and accessories.
(a)
Identification. Single/multiple component metallic bone fixation appliances and accessories are devices intended to be implanted consisting of one or more metallic components and their metallic fasteners. The devices contain a plate, a nail/plate combination, or a blade/plate combination that are made of alloys, such as cobalt-chromium-molybdenum, stainless steel, and titanium, that are intended to be held in position with fasteners, such as screws and nails, or bolts, nuts, and washers. These devices are used for fixation of fractures of the proximal or distal end of long bones, such as intracapsular, intertrochanteric, intercervical, supracondylar, or condylar fractures of the femur; for fusion of a joint; or for surgical procedures that involve cutting a bone. The devices may be implanted or attached through the skin so that a pulling force (traction) may be applied to the skeletal system.(b)
