No
The summary describes a system of screws for surgical procedures and does not mention any AI or ML components or functionalities.

No.
Explanation: The device is an implant system (screws and plates) used for fixation in surgical procedures, not for treating a disease or condition in itself. It is a surgical tool/implant.

No
Explanation: The device description indicates that it is a system of screws intended for surgical procedures, not for diagnosing medical conditions.

No

The device description explicitly mentions physical components like screws, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

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

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens 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 Synthes Low Profile Neuro System consists of screws intended for surgical implantation in the midface and craniofacial skeleton.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for surgical procedures related to trauma, reconstruction, and orthognathic surgery.

This device is a surgical implant, not a diagnostic tool that analyzes biological samples.
