Intended Use
Synthes Trochanteric Fixation Nail (TFN) System is intended to treat stable and unstable fractures of the proximal femur including pertrochanteric fractures, intertrochanteric fractures, basal neck fractures, and combinations thereof. The long Trochanteric Fixation Nail is additionally indicated for subtrochanteric fractures, pertrochanteric fractures associated with shaft fractures, pathologic fractures (including prophylactic use) in both trochanteric and diaphyseal regions, long subtrochanteric fractures, proximal or distal non-unions, malunions, and revisions.
Device Description
Synthes (USA) Trochanteric Fixation Nail (TFN) System consists of a cannulated intermedullary nail, a cannulated helical blade and cannulated nail end cap. The TFN Nail is anatomically contoured with a proximal diameter of 17 mm, tapering to a nominal diameter of 10, 11 or 12 mm. The tuporing locking hole accommodates angles ranging from t 125 - 135°. TFN nails arc to be available in short lengths (170 - 235 mm) and long lengths (300 - 460 mm), with the long length nails available in right or left versions. The Trochanteric Fixation Nail accepts commercially available Synthes 4.9 mm Locking Bolts and/or 5.0 mm Locking Screws.

No
The summary describes a mechanical implant system for fracture fixation and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing capabilities that would indicate the use of AI/ML.

Yes
The device is intended to treat fractures of the proximal femur, which is a therapeutic purpose.

No

The device is a surgical implant (nail) used to fix fractures in the femur. It is not used to diagnose medical conditions but rather to treat them.

No

The device description clearly states it consists of physical components like a cannulated intermedullary nail, helical blade, and end cap, which are hardware.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is for treating bone fractures in the proximal femur. This is a surgical implant used directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The description details a surgical implant (nail, blade, end cap) designed to be inserted into bone.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue, etc.) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVD devices are used outside the body to analyze samples and provide diagnostic information. This device is a surgical implant used inside the body for structural support and fracture fixation.
