No
The device description and summary of performance studies focus on mechanical properties and the physical components of the intramedullary nail system. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any software-driven analysis or decision-making.
Yes
The device is intended for the "fixation of various types of fractures," which directly indicates its use in treating injuries or diseases.
No
The device is an orthopedic implant (intramedullary nail) used for fixation of fractures, not for diagnosing medical conditions.
No
The device description clearly outlines physical components including a nail implant, instrument set, and inflation device, indicating it is a hardware-based medical device.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use is for the "fixation of various types of fractures... in the long bones." This describes a surgical implant used to stabilize broken bones within the body.
- Device Description: The description details a physical implant (nail), instruments for insertion/removal, and an inflation device. These are all components of a surgical procedure.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: An IVD device is used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) outside of the body to provide information about a person's health. This device does not interact with biological specimens for diagnostic purposes.
The device is clearly an orthopedic implant used for surgical treatment of fractures.
N/A
Intended Use / Indications for Use

Device Description
The Fixion Interlocking Intramedullary Nailing System consist of the following main components:
- The Nail Implant is an expandable non-slotted stainless steel cylindrical tube, with a cap protected, female threaded proximal end with holes for interlocking screws to lock the nail in the bone. The Nail Implant may also have both proximal and distal ends with holes for interlocking screws.
- The Instrument Set consists of a few accessories used during insertion and removal (if required) of the Nail Implant.
- The Inflation Device is a single-use, manual, plastic pump to be filled with sterile inflation liquid.
Once the nail is positioned within the medullary canal, rotation of the pump handle allows for nail diameter increase to its intended diameter under x-ray and controlled pressure. Interlocking screws may be used to lock the nail inside the bone.
