Intended Use
The Avanta carpal fusion plate is designed for fusion of the carpal bones of the hand including; capitate, hamate, lunate, and triquetrum. The fusion plate is intended for use in patients suffering from pain and/or loss of function due to osteoarthritis, post-traumatic arthritis, fractures, revision of failed partial wrist fusions, carpal instability, or rheumatoid arthritis. The fusion plate is used in conjunction with screws that fix the plate to the carpal bones of the hand.
Device Description
The Avanta carpal fusion plate is a low profile single piece construct designed to fit over the dorsal aspect of the carpal bones in the hand. The plate has spherical holes or slots that accommodate screws for fixation. The plate and screws are fabricated from implantable grade stainless steel.
More Information

No
The summary describes a mechanical implant (a fusion plate and screws) and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing capabilities that would indicate the use of AI or ML.

Yes
The device is a fusion plate used to treat pain and loss of function due to various conditions affecting the carpal bones, which qualifies it as a therapeutic device.

No
The device is a fusion plate designed to treat carpal bone issues, not to diagnose them.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical plate and screws fabricated from implantable grade stainless steel, 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. These tests are performed outside of the body.
  • Device Description: The Avanta carpal fusion plate is a physical implant designed to be surgically placed inside the body to fuse bones. It is a surgical device, not a diagnostic test.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for the surgical treatment of conditions affecting the carpal bones, not for performing diagnostic tests on samples.

Therefore, based on the provided information, the Avanta carpal fusion plate is a surgical implant, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

§ 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.
