Intended Use
The EBI® XFIX® Access™ Pelvic Fixator and EBI® XFIX® DFS® system are unilateral external fixation device intended for use in the treatment of bone conditions including leg lengthening, osteotomies, arthrodesis, fracture fixation, and other bone conditions amenable to treatment by use of the external fixation modality.
Device Description
The EBI® XFIX® Access™ Pelvic Fixator System has not changed the Indications for Use or fundamental scientific technology of the previous cleared system. The system consists of external fixation components and implantable bone screws. The EBI® XFIX® Access™ Pelvic Fixator System is utilized in the following manner: bone screws are inserted through the patient's skin and soft tissue and into the bone. The fixator frame of the EBI® XFIX® Access™ Pelvic Fixator System is attached to the shanks of the bone screws. This submission is for the use of a Break-Away pelvic screw (clamp screw).

Not Found

No
The summary describes a mechanical external fixation device and does not mention any software, algorithms, or AI/ML capabilities.

Yes
The device is used for the "treatment of bone conditions," which aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device.

No

Explanation: The device description states it is an external fixation device used for treating bone conditions, and it involves bone screws inserted into the patient's bone with a fixator frame attached. There is no mention of it being used for diagnosis or generating diagnostic information.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of "external fixation components and implantable bone screws," which are hardware components.

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 provided description clearly states that the EBI® XFIX® Access™ Pelvic Fixator and EBI® XFIX® DFS® system are external fixation devices used to treat bone conditions by being attached to bone screws inserted into the patient's body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for treating bone conditions like fractures, osteotomies, etc., through mechanical fixation.

There is no mention of testing biological samples or providing diagnostic information based on such tests. This device is a surgical implant/external fixation system, not a diagnostic tool.

§ 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)
Classification. Class II.
