Intended Use
The T2 Recon Nail indications include fixation of subtrochanteric, interochanteric, ipsilateral neck/shaft, communited proximal femoral shaft fractures, femoral fixation required as a result of pathological disease, and temporary stabilization of fractures of the femoral shaft ranging from the femoral neck to the supracondylar regions of the femur.
Device Description
The subject T2 Recon Nail System is a fracture fixation device comprised of femoral nails and the related accessories such as washers, locking screws, end caps, and lag screws. The subject and predicate devices are intended to provide strong and stable internal fracture fixation with minimal soft tissue irritation of the tibia and femur. This device is utilized as an aid to healing, not as a substitute for normal intact bone and tissue.

No
The summary describes a mechanical fracture fixation device and does not mention any software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.

Yes
The device is a fracture fixation device intended to aid in the healing of various femoral fractures, making it a therapeutic device.

No
The device is described as a "fracture fixation device" and its intended use is to aid in the healing of femoral fractures by providing "strong and stable internal fracture fixation." There is no mention of it being used to diagnose conditions or diseases.

No

The device description clearly states it is comprised of physical components like femoral nails, washers, screws, and end caps, which are hardware.

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

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a device used for the fixation of bone fractures within the body (femur and tibia). This is a surgical implant, not a diagnostic test performed on samples outside the body.
  • Device Description: The description details a "fracture fixation device comprised of femoral nails and the related accessories." This further confirms its role as an implant for stabilizing bones.
  • Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting specific substances, or providing diagnostic information about a patient's health status.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for diagnostic, monitoring, or compatibility purposes. This device does not fit that description.
