Intended Use
The Fixion Dynamic Hip Screw System (Fixion DHS) is intended for use in fixation of fractures in the proximal femur. The Fixion DHS is indicated for use in pertrochanteric, intertrochanteric, and base of femur neck fractures. The Fixion DHS can be implanted in an open or in a minimally invasive approach.
Device Description
The Fixion DHS System consists of the following components: - Plate a solid, titanium-made, component, incorporating holes for the insertion of the Hip Peg, Locking Pin and Screws. The Plate Body is shaped to comply with the hone curvature and the Barrel is located at 135° - 145° relative to the Plate Body. - Hip Peg a titanium-made tube with a distal expandable section, to enhance the abutment of the Hip Peg inside the femoral head. The expandable body ends with a conical shaped distal end. - Locking Pin a titanium-made pin. It is used to provide additional fixation of the fragment, if needed, and for stabilizing bone fragments in case of torsional instability - Screws titanium screws. Maximum of 3 7 Screws (Plate length dependant) can be used to attach the plate to the bone (the femur shaft) at its distal section. - Instrumentation Set ~ a set of accessories to be used with the Fixion DHS implants. Accessories for both open and minimally invasive surgical approaches are available. - Inflation Device (Pump) - a manual pump used to expand the Hip Peg.
More Information

No
The device description details a mechanical implant system for bone fracture fixation, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

Yes
The device is intended for the fixation of fractures in the proximal femur, which is a therapeutic purpose.

No

The device is a surgical implant designed for fixation of proximal femur fractures, not for diagnosing a medical condition.

No

The device description clearly lists multiple hardware components made of titanium, including a plate, hip peg, locking pin, screws, instrumentation set, and an inflation device (pump). This indicates it is a physical medical device, not software-only.

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 the "fixation of fractures in the proximal femur." This is a surgical implant used directly on the patient's bone.
  • Device Description: The description details components like plates, screws, pins, and instrumentation used in surgery. These are all physical devices for internal fixation.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of the device being used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) 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. This device is a surgical implant used to treat a physical condition within the body.

§ 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.
