Intended Use
The Acumed Small Bone Locking Rod II System is indicated for use in fractures and osteotomies of the fibula, radius, and ulna. These are similar to intended use of predicate devices and do not raise new issues of safety and effectiveness.
Device Description
The Acumed Small Bone Locking Rod II is an intramedullary rod with solid and cannulated versions. Rods are manufactured in multiple lengths (110 mm to 270mm) and diameters (3.0 to 4.5 mm). The rod has openings used in conjunction with titanium alloy cortical screws, which lock it in place.

No
The document describes a mechanical implant (intramedullary rod) and explicitly states that image processing, AI, DNN, or ML were not found in the description. Performance studies and key metrics related to algorithmic performance are also marked as "Not Applicable".

Yes
The device is used to treat fractures and osteotomies, which are conditions requiring therapeutic intervention.

No
The device is an intramedullary rod system used for fixing fractures and osteotomies, which is a therapeutic rather than a diagnostic function.

No

The device description clearly states it is an "intramedullary rod" with physical dimensions and materials, indicating it is a hardware device.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens (like blood, urine, or tissue) taken from the human body to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
  • Device Description: The Acumed Small Bone Locking Rod II System is an implantable medical device (an intramedullary rod) used to stabilize fractures and osteotomies within bones (fibula, radius, and ulna). It is surgically inserted into the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is to treat fractures and osteotomies, which is a therapeutic application, not a diagnostic one based on analyzing specimens outside the body.

The information provided clearly describes a surgical implant, not a device used for testing biological samples.

Device Description: The Acumed Small Bone Locking Rod II is an intramedullary rod with solid and cannulated versions. Rods are manufactured in multiple lengths (110 mm to 270mm) and diameters (3.0 to 4.5 mm). The rod has openings used in conjunction with titanium alloy cortical screws, which lock it in place.

Intended Use: The Acumed Small Bone Locking Rod II System is indicated for use in fractures and osteotomies of the fibula, radius, and ulna. These are similar to intended use of predicate devices and do not raise new issues of safety and effectiveness.

Technological Characteristics: The Acumed Small Bone Locking Rods II are slightly bowed rods made from titanium 6AL EVI alloy in conformance with ASTM F136. The predicate devices are made of identical titanium alloy or stainless steel. Both titanium alloy and stainless steel have been successfully used in numerous intramedullary rods. There are no technological characteristics that raise new issues of safety or effectiveness.

An assessment of performance data is not applicable. A discussion of clinical and non-clinical tests is not applicable.

Based upon the similarities of the Acumed Small Bone Rod II System and the predicate devices studied, the safety and effectiveness of the Acumed Small Bone Rod II System is substantially equivalent to the predicate devices referenced.
