Intended Use
The EBI® XFIX® Vision® Fixation System is a unilateral external fixation device intended for use in the treatment of bone conditions including leg lengthening, osteotomies, arthrodesis, fracture fixation, and other bone conditions amenable to treatment by use of the external fixation modality.
Device Description
The System consists of external fixation components and implantable bone screws. The EBI® XFIX® Vision® Fixation System is utilized in the following manner: bone screws are inserted through the patient's skin and soft tissue, and into the bone. The fixator frame of the EBI® XFIX® Vision® Fixation System is attached to the shanks of the bone screws. This submission is for the modification of the SL Rapid Clamps and the addition of a 'MRI Safe' labeling claim to the existing System when the newly modified SL Rapid Clamps are utilized. The intended use and fundamental scientific technology have not changed from the previously cleared submission.
More Information

Not Found

No
The document describes a mechanical external fixation system and explicitly states that the fundamental scientific technology has not changed from previously cleared submissions. There is no mention of AI, ML, image processing, or data sets for training/testing.

Yes
The device is described as an external fixation device for treating bone conditions, which directly implies a therapeutic purpose.

No
Explanation: The device description states it is an external fixation device used for treating bone conditions, not for diagnosing them. It is used to fix bones, not to provide diagnostic information.

No

The device description explicitly states it consists of "external fixation components and implantable bone screws," which are hardware.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a device used for the treatment of bone conditions through external fixation. This is a therapeutic intervention, not a diagnostic one.
  • Device Description: The description details the physical components (external fixation components and bone screws) and how they are used to stabilize and manipulate bone. This aligns with a surgical or therapeutic device.
  • Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.), detecting biomarkers, or providing information for diagnosis.

IVD devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of a disease or condition. This device does not fit that description.

§ 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.
