No
The summary describes a system of titanium plates for osteotomies and bone deformities, with no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data-driven analysis.

Yes
The device is intended for the treatment of bone and joint deformities and malalignment caused by injury or disease, which aligns with the definition of a therapeutic device.

No
The provided text describes the Synthes TomoFix™ Osteotomy System as surgical plates used for treating bone and joint deformities, and does not mention any diagnostic functions.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of "five different titanium plates," which are hardware components.

Based on the provided information, the Synthes TomoFix™ Osteotomy System is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a surgical system for treating bone and joint deformities and malalignment through osteotomies. This is a surgical procedure performed directly on the patient's body.
  • Device Description: The device is described as titanium plates with locking and combination holes, designed for implantation during surgery.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, tissue, or urine) outside of the body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.

IVD devices are used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body to provide information about a person's health. The TomoFix™ Osteotomy System is a surgical implant used to stabilize bones during healing after an osteotomy.

§ 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.
